Forgiven in the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 130:3 asks, If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? The line places you inside a courtroom of judgment, as if your faults could tally against you. But there is only the I AM—awareness that is your true self—and God is that very consciousness, not a ledger keeper. When you hear of marks and sins, revise your inner state: imagine forgiveness as the atmosphere in which you already exist. The moment you identify with the I AM, the idea of standing under judgment dissolves; you stand in grace, not in fear. You are not defined by past errors but by the life that animates you now. The question becomes inconsequential, for mercy is the reality you choose to inhabit. By assuming 'I am forgiven' and 'I am the I AM,' you invite mercy to shape your experience. Imagination is your tool: feel the relief, envision yourself as complete, and let that inner reality transact into outer life. Your consciousness, not external judgment, writes the conditions of your world; mercy triumphs when you dwell in this trust.
