Return to Mercy Now

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner listener, 'Return, O LORD' is not a geographical plea but a turning of your awareness back to its original I AM. The cry 'how long?' exposes a habit of identifying with lack, time, and separation from the divine presence. Yet 'let it repent thee concerning thy servants' suggests mercy recoloring your inner picture. When you 'satisfy us early with thy mercy,' you are not waiting on the heavens; you are choosing a fresh assumption—that mercy is the very nature of your consciousness and instantly available. In this light, the days of rejoicing and gladness are not distant events but the present state you affirm here and now. Begin by assuming you have already received mercy, that joy and gladness are your daily atmosphere, and that every moment you are restored to the presence that you are. The act of returning is a return to the self you really are, an I AM awake to its own mercy.
