Biblical Context
2 John 1:8 invites you to guard your inner state and the works you have wrought, so you do not lose them, but rather receive a full reward through steadfast faithfulness and obedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Look to yourselves as the I AM—the dignified, undivided awareness through which all you call life is perceived. The verse speaks not of external proof, but of inner alignment: the 'things we have wrought' are the moves of consciousness, the choices to stay faithful and obedient to the end. If you sense lack, you have merely wandered from your state of grasping the reality you seek. The 'full reward' is the complete manifestation that follows a settled conviction in your own being. Therefore, shift attention inward, and assume the state of the prosperous, faithful self who has already done the work and now receives its fruit. Perseverance becomes the daily discipline of maintaining that inner posture; reward becomes the natural expression of living from the I AM. In this light, the law of consciousness is immediate: your inner state yields your outer life, when you refuse to doubt and remain steadfast in trust.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of the completed state now. Revise any sense of lack by affirming, 'I am the I AM; I have wrought this and now receive the full reward.' Do this for a few minutes to imprint the inner state as your present reality.
