Loving Discipline Awakens Zeal

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse the I AM speaks as your deepest self: the Father-Mind disciplines not to condemn, but to awaken. When it says it loves by rebuking and chastening, see that the heat of correction is the inward reshaping of your beliefs. Rebuke and chastening are the inner alchemy that melts away worn thoughts and reveals the truth you already carry: you are the I AM. Zeal appears not as a fleeting emotion but as a steadfast orientation of consciousness—a living, imaginative focus that refuses to settle for anything less than the fulfilled state. Repentance is simply a turning of attention from limitation to the awareness that your assumption creates your world. To act on this, you must dwell in the felt reality of the wished-for state, and revise any negative habit by affirming, "I am the I AM now manifesting this." Watch inner movements align with your declaration until outer events echo the inner conviction. In this discipline, love becomes power and power becomes love realized in your consciousness.
