Genesis 29:32

Biblical Context

Leah bears a son and names him Reuben, declaring that the Lord has seen her distress and hoping this will earn Jacob’s affection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leah’s moment is your moment. When she says the LORD hath looked upon my affliction, she names an inner state as if it were a visible fact. In the field of my imagination, the I AM—this consciousness you call 'me'—has seen my suffering and is already birthing a new reality. Reuben, the firstborn, is not merely a name; it is a symbol that presence births a future. If I keep my attention on the feeling that I am seen by the I AM, I align with Providence and invite a turning of the heart in my life. My trial is not punishment but soil for a new joy, arriving when I revise my scene in mind until the felt reality of love, support, and blessing stands already established. The moment I decide I am seen, I am loved; the outer world begins to reflect that inward sight.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, I am seen by the I AM now. Breathe into the sense that your life is already blessed and Providence is at work.
