Preserved in His Joyful Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, Jude 1:24 whispers that the keeper is your own I AM—the constant assurance by which you are awake to truth. 'Keep you from falling' means: do not abandon the state of consciousness that you are always held by the source of life. When you imagine yourself as already kept, you no longer stumble, for your attention is fixed in the light of your true nature. 'Present you faultless before the presence of his glory' translates to: in the inner court of awareness, you are seen as you truly are—clean, complete, and radiantly alive. The 'exceeding joy' is the natural emotion of one who accepts this fact; joy is not earned but revealed as you accept that the I AM governs you and animates you. The outer world then mirrors your inner alignment; events become demonstrations of your constant security. Practically, you revise any sense of lack by saying: I am kept by the I AM; I stand faultless before the glory in me; I rejoice in this truth.
