Colossians 4:7-8

Biblical Context

Paul says his state will be declared to you by Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister, sent to comfort your hearts.

Neville's Inner Vision

Colossians 4:7–8 is an invitation to see your inner life as a circle of messengers moving within you. The 'state' Paul mentions is the current posture of your consciousness, and 'Tychicus' is the function of awareness that travels through your mind to reveal it. When you imagine this messenger as faithfully serving the Lord, you invite a truth to stand in your presence: your estate—your habitual way of knowing—and the comfort of your heart are already aligned with love. The beloved brother and faithful minister are not external men but facets of your own I AM, coming to you to remind you that unity, faith, and trust are your natural state. The effect of this inner dispatch is a quiet mind and a restful heart, because you recognize that the outer world reflects your inner agreement. Practice is simple: name your current state as lovingly as Paul names his, and permit Tychicus to announce it to your consciousness, dissolving doubt and confirming your oneness with God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, assume your inner messenger has already declared your true state—beloved, faithful, in the Lord—and let that state rest on your heart for several minutes. Breathe into the feeling of unity and trust, revising any doubt until it dissolves.
