The Eye of Mercy Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the eye of the LORD—this is not a distant sky, but your own I AM turned toward you in awareness. To fear Him is to align with the reverent attention of the self that never abandons you; to hope in His mercy is to refuse the lie that you are separate from grace. When you adopt the feeling that you are personally seen by mercy, you awaken to the truth that your circumstances are but reflections of your inner state. The world you inhabit responds to the inner assumption you hold about who you are and what is meant for you. So practice this: in stillness, imagine the eye resting on you with benevolence; revise fear into confident expectancy; declare quietly, 'I am watched by the eye that loves me, and my life is drawn toward mercy.' As you dwell in that sense, quiet thoughts, soften judgments, and draw guidance from within. The verse asks you to dwell in mercy as your native atmosphere, allowing hope to govern how you meet every moment.
