Inner Eyes Upon Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 123:2-3 asks you to turn the outward posture of waiting into an inward recognition of self as the eyes that behold. When you accept that the eye that looks is the same I AM that sees, the scene of servants and mistresses becomes a symbol of your inner attention fixed on God, your source and mercy. The feeling of contempt becomes combustible fuel for a new assumption: that mercy is already present, that God's gaze rests upon you here and now. Do not chase mercy as a distant event; imagine you are the very one who looks, the tender focus of awareness, and let your inner climate shift toward gratitude, humility, and bold expectancy. As you dwell in this insistence—'I am seen by God; mercy is now'—the inner world rearranges, and the apparent delay dissolves into the continuous presence of grace. Your feelings follow your assumption; your atmosphere becomes mercy's resonance, and what you call forth in your outer life is simply the living I AM at work within you.
