Inner Forgiveness, Inner Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the psalmist does not plead for mercy from without; he recognizes that forgiveness is the very atmosphere of consciousness in which I Am God dwells. 'There is forgiveness with thee' points to the clear inner renovation: when the mind ceases to identify with limitation and accepts the truth of its own Godhood, fear is remade into reverent awe rather than paralyzing guilt. To 'wait for the Lord' is to rest in the conviction that the I AM is already present as the phenomenon of your life; the soul quiets not by effort but by consenting to the fact that your word—the inner decree you hold as true—is shaping your tomorrow. In this light, 'in his word do I hope' becomes your habitual assumption: you trust the divine idea you are dwelling in and let it unfold as your experience. The transition from pardon to hope occurs as you shift from blame to alignment with the inner self that never falters. Your outer world then reflects the inner state of calm, faith, and reverent expectation.
