When Family Forsakes, The I Am Lifts

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the inner language: the Lord is not a distant king but the I AM that you are. When the outer parents appear to forsake, you are invited to turn attention from lack to presence. The abandonment is not happening to you but within your sense of self; the moment you declare I am taken up by the Lord, you reframe the scene as adoption into divine reality. Your inner father and mother are states of security and nurture; their seeming withdrawal reveals that your true support is the undying presence of God within. As you dwell in that realization, the feeling of being carried—taken up—begins to rise. In this revision, the fear of abandonment dissolves as you acknowledge that God is always awake in your consciousness, ready to receive you and restore you to a state of wholeness. Do not seek without for salvation; close your eyes and feel yourself held by the I AM, as if in a warm, divine embrace. The shift from fear to trust is the miracle the psalmist invites you to experience here and now.
