Mercy Within the Mourning
Lamentations 3:31-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says God is not cast off forever; grief may come, but mercy endures according to the multitude of mercies, and God does not afflict willingly nor grieve His children.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the LORD in this passage as the I AM within you—the awake awareness that never leaves you. The verse does not threaten a distant judge; it asserts you are not cast off forever. Grief may visit, but mercy multiplies toward you according to the endless mercies of your own consciousness. The apparent pain is not the act of a cruel deity; it is a signal inviting you to revise your inner state. If you accept that you do not will affliction, you leave room for compassion to operate as a natural law of your life. When you align with that mercy and feel it as real here and now, the outer circumstances begin to rearrange themselves to match your inner truth. You are not a victim of events but a state of consciousness capable of turning sorrow into grace by the simple art of assumption. The source of all change is your inner sight; the I AM within you is forever compassionate.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM is compassionate now. Feel the grief soften as you rest in the inner mercy that endures within you, and imagine the outward scene aligning to that truth.
