4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard’s lens, these verses declare that forgiveness is a state of consciousness already present within the I AM. It is not a distant act but a revision of your inner atmosphere: when you stop judging yourself and align your sense of self with divine mercy, you stand in true reverence for life. Waiting for the LORD becomes an inner posture of expectancy—holding the word of God in your awareness until it takes flesh as your experience. As you dwell there, your soul learns to hope, not in lack, but in the assured presence that your moments are guided by mercy. Let Israel hope in the LORD becomes let the self place trust in the inner Lord, the perpetual source of mercy and plenteous redemption. Forgiveness thus unlocks a future you can inhabit now; you are the agent and beneficiary of redemption, guided by the light of I AM, and every perceived failure is softened by the grace already within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet, repeat silently, 'I AM forgiven; I forgive now,' and feel the I AM presence washing away blame. Visualize the word of God as a warm light within, reviving every corner of your consciousness with mercy and redemption.
