Inner Wisdom, Joyful Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Proverbs 27:11, the word 'son' is not a mere boy but the inner you that can choose. When you choose wisdom in thought and action, you dress the heart with gladness, and the I AM within answers the voice of reproach with steadiness rather than defensiveness. The reproachful figure is not a person at your door but the inner doubt and accusation that would disturb your peace. Your present choice to be prudent, discerning, and faithful shifts your whole atmosphere; you tell your consciousness, 'I am wise,' and so the heart glows with equanimity, ready to meet any question without fear. This is a law: thought and feeling precede outward circumstance. When you persist in wise response, you align with Truth and reveal a reality where affection, trust, and fidelity arise as your natural state. The parental joy is the inner alignment—the heart’s gladness—that makes possible honest conversation with the world from a position of certainty. Reproof becomes a mere echo in a still, confident I AM.
