Inner Kingdom Worthiness

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this verse as saying that your trials are not random punishments but tokens placed by your own I AM through perception. The 'righteous judgment of God' is the inner disposition that adjudges the thoughts you entertain and the feelings you dwell in. When you endure, with calm conviction, you are being counted worthy of the kingdom because you refuse to concede to the old self's fear. The kingdom is not a distant place; it is the state of awareness in which you know yourself as the I AM, the self that always stands in the light of truth. Suffering then becomes the sign that your inner state is being differentiated and refined to match the reality you wish to enter. Realize that the judgment is simply your own alignment check—are you still identifying with limitation, or are you choosing to wake into the kingdom by willing and feeling its worth now? Your choice, moment by moment, is the evidence of the inner verdict.
