Care That Refreshes Souls

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, Paul reveals a state of consciousness rather than a simple external action: he wrote for the care you hold in the sight of God. Your inner disposition—awareness attended to others as if seen by the I AM—is the real event. When you entertain such care, the comfort others feel is the mirror of your own inner posture, and your joy for Titus springs from witnessing that refreshed spirit within your circle. If you wish to cultivate this consolation, begin with the assumption that you are the keeper of a state that God sees as care. Let every memory of offense be revised into compassionate concern, and feel the relief and expansion that follows as your own inner atmosphere brightens. The verse invites you to interpret outward consolation as the fruit of an interior climate; by tending that climate, you align with a perpetual source of renewal where divine sight and human experience meet in one joyful act.
