The Lifting Word Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Heaviness in the heart is the sign you have been listening to a weather of fear rather than the I AM that you are. The verse does not blame the world for your burden; it reveals that your inner state dictates the body’s posture and speech. When you permit a good word—a word of encouragement, a kinder interpretation, or a revised assumption about your future—it acts as a pivot in consciousness. That word doesn’t merely please the ears; it reorients the imagination and briskly lifts the heart because it aligns you with your natural joy and peace. The so-called outer trouble dissolves not through fight but through trust in a new inner arrangement: I AM the one who makes the choice to feel glad. Practice is simply to return to the assumption of gladness and to feel it real until your bodily stoop gives way to uprightness. In this way, the verse channels the power of encouraging speech, Joy and Praise, and Hope toward a future that feels safe in the inner kingdom.
