Gratitude From The I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the LORD as the I AM within you—the living awareness that remains unchanged when the world changes. When you read, 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good', you are being asked to dwell in a fixed, joyful state of mind rather than chase favors from without. 'His mercy endureth for ever' is not time but continuity—the mercy of your own awareness that never tires of your well-being. The line 'Let the redeemed of the LORD say so' invites you to speak from the awakened state, confirming with inner conviction that you are already saved from fear, guilt, and limitation. 'Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy' points to liberation from the imagined adversaries of lack and doubt—enemies that vanish when consciousness agrees with the truth of I AM. And 'gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south' is the image of every fragment of your mind returning to unity under one sovereign awareness. Practice: assume you are the redeemed now, feel the mercy as your constant condition, and allow your scattered thoughts to be drawn back into the one I AM.
