Joy Amid Trials Inner Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Joy is not the absence of trouble; it is an inner state you wear into every circumstance. When James bids you count it all joy, he invites you to realize that the temptations you meet are opportunities to test the consistency of your I AM, the awareness that you are the consciousness that imagines. The divers temptations are not external penalties; they are inner movements that reveal what state you have assumed. To revise them, close your eyes, feel the wish fulfilled, and rest in the conviction that you are already the joyous, trusting Self you seek. In this space, imagination becomes your instrument; your feeling of I AM drives events into alignment with the inner picture you hold. Endurance arises as you persist in the conscious assumption, regardless of outward appearances. So you do not fight fate; you elect a higher state and live from it, and the outer becomes a faithful mirror of the inner conviction that you are joy, faith, and the very source of all supply.
