Mercy Births Inner Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the birth of a son in Luke is the inner birth of your realization. When the full time comes, it is not time marching outward but your consciousness concluding its inner resistance and declaring, I am. The Lord’s mercy here is not distant favors but the recognition that mercy is the I AM expressing as your world. Elisabeth's neighbors and cousins are not merely people; they are the various currents of your own mind bearing witness to what you now accept as true. Their rejoicing is the outer echo of an inner acceptance that the gift has already taken form in you. Therefore, to imitate this scene, cultivate the faith that you are not waiting for mercy but awakening to it. When you identify with that mercy, your inner state becomes a visible birth in your surroundings, and time itself bends to the resolution of consciousness.
