The Jewels Of Divine Favor
Malachi 3:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents believers as God's precious jewels, protected and loved. It uses a fatherly image of sparing those who serve and are faithful.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner sanctuary of your awareness, Malachi 3:17 proclaims you as God's treasured jewels. Not future currency to be earned, but present light by which God identifies Himself. The Father speaks as I AM: 'They shall be mine'—your inner states are chosen, preserved, and beloved in the day of true turning. The phrase 'in that day' points to a moment when you awaken to your own value, when you see your thoughts and feelings as jewels set upon the pedestal of consciousness. Your service is not toil for reward but alignment with your divine nature; as you stand in stillness and observe, you are spared from the belief you are unworthy. The mercy described is the natural outflow of awareness that has chosen to remember itself as complete. When you imagine yourself as one of these jewels, you invite the Father's care—sparking you, guiding you, and keeping you secure as a parent guards a son who serves him.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, feel the breathing, and repeat softly, 'I am one of God's treasured jewels, spared and cared for by the I AM.' Let a warm golden light settle in your chest as you dwell in that awareness for a minute.
