Inner Zion: Sorrow to Joy
Jeremiah 31:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 31:12-13 portrays a time when sorrow is turned to joy. The soul is renewed, watered like a garden, and all ages rejoice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Jeremiah 31:12-13 as an inner map. Zion is a state of consciousness in which the good of the Lord flows—wheat, wine, oil, and the young of the flock—into your life. Your soul becomes a watered garden, nourished by the I AM within, and sorrow loses its grip. The decree 'I will turn mourning into joy' is a directive for inner revision: in this moment, feel comfort moving through you, begin to rejoice as if it were already true. The dancing Virgin and the old and young symbolize the harmonious movement of your mind when it rests in grace. The old mood of lack dissolves as you accept that mercy is present now. This is renewal, healing, and praise arising from an inner victory—your alignment with God, so the outward scene follows.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I am the watered garden of the Lord, nourished by His abundance. Then imagine yourself dancing in Zion, letting joy fill every part of you until sorrow dissolves.
