Hearing Joy Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, you are not petitioning a distant God for mercy, but awakening to the I AM that you already are. 'Make me to hear joy and gladness' is a call to reorient your attention until the light of delight becomes your inner weather. The 'bones which thou hast broken' symbolize your entire being—habits, memories, and self-images that feel fractured by past mistakes. When you believe the brokenness is real, the body speaks in fatigue, but when you assume the joyful state as your present fact, healing follows as a natural rearrangement of your consciousness. Hear, in Neville's sense, means perceive with faith; feel the joy as if it is already yours. Your inner sight quietly declares: I am whole; healing is present now. Do not chase happiness as something earned; rule your inner weather and let joy prove itself. In this light, forgiveness and turning become inner revisions—your imagination drafts the new body and the new day, and your experience aligns to the impression you hold.
