Joy As Inner Medicine

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 17:22 places you inside the law: a merry heart is medicine because it declares to the I AM that life is whole. When you entertain a cheerful state, you are not merely smiling; you are aligning your inner self with the living energy that makes all flesh glad. The 'bones' grow dry when you insist that life is scarce, when you dwell in fear or complaint. But the moment you assume a different story— that joy is your natural state— you revise the body's texture by inner conviction. You are not fixing a thing; you are acknowledging who you are: the I AM, consciousness expressing as form. The inner chemistry follows your vibration: criticism vanishes, gratitude rises, and health answers the call. This is not contrivance; it is alignment with divine life. Practice holds the key: return to the image of a merry heart within, and let feeling follow belief, until your body testifies to the new remembrance.
