Inner Return and Hope
Jeremiah 31:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 31:16-17 tells you not to weep because your labor will be rewarded and your people will return from their enemies; there is hope that your children will return to their borders.
Neville's Inner Vision
Exile in Jeremiah’s vision is not a distant land but a drift of consciousness away from the I AM, the living presence that you are. The LORD’s words invite you to cease the outward weeping and to trust the inner work you have been performing in silence. Your ‘work’ is the consistent act of imagining from the end, of assuming the state you desire until it becomes your felt reality. The ‘land of the enemy’ is the outer conditions of fear, doubt, and lack; the return of your children is the return of fresh ideas, impulses, and energies that belong to your true border. The promise of a hope at the end is a promise you can inhabit now by sensation and belief, not by waiting for outer circumstances to change. When you dwell in the I AM and feel the return of your inner sovereignty, you align with the divine motion that gathers every part of you and places you back where you belong.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already standing on your own border. Feel the relief as tears subside; gently declare, 'I am restored; my work is rewarded; mine and my household return to me within.'
