Inner Test of Heart and Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. I respond by turning the question back upon my own consciousness. In Neville’s view, God is the I AM presenting as awareness. When you ask to be examined, you are asking the I AM to illuminate the hidden motives, the quiet fears, the longing that rules your acts. The reins are not literal; they are the inner steerage of your desires, the heart is your feeling center. The Lord’s inquiry is not judgment but invitation to become aware of what you have accepted as true about yourself. To 'prove' me is to allow reality to reflect whether your apparent conditions correspond to what you have accepted in your imagination. If you find misalignment—resentment, doubt, vanity—do not resist; revise. Make your assumption now that you are the I AM, perfectly trustworthy, disciplined, and free. Hold that state until the outer scene confirms it in form. The inner verification is your only real change; the outer world merely mirrors your inner conviction.
