Inner Mercy, Morning Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines urge you to recognize that hope is a state of consciousness, not a response to external events. When you say, This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope, you are choosing the inner memory of the I AM as your active state. The LORD's mercies and compassions are not distant favors but the atmosphere of your awareness, renewing every morning as you awaken to your true nature. To live here is to reverse the common cause-effect: you are not seeking mercy; you are embodying it. The declaration The LORD is my portion points to the I AM as your inner supply, your daily bread. Faithfulness becomes the rhythm of your inner life, steady even amid appearances. Practice by inhabiting the feeling that mercy is present now, revise any sense of lack, and let hope rise from within as your natural state. As your inner state aligns with this truth, the world will reflect that promised renewal.
