Chastening for Holiness

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Hebrews invites you to see every ‘chastening’ as a refinement of your inner state. The Father of spirits is the I AM within, not a distant judge, and the correction you feel is a movement of consciousness aligning you with your own holiness. In this light, the seemingly grievous situations are not punishment but momentary contractions that sharpen the inner senses. When you experience discomfort, do not resist; invite the awareness that you are being educated by the very energy of life toward righteousness. The chastenings last only as long as your belief in lack or separation; as you persist in the awareness of being loved, the fruit of righteousness matures in your life—peace that passes understanding and a calm holiness that no circumstance can steal. So, rather than seeking outward approval or appeasing appearances, collapse into the I AM and let the inner correction refine your character until your outer world reflects that inner fullness.
