Edification Through Neighborly Bearing

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, Romans 15:1-2 is a call to reveal true inner strength by choosing the good of another. The so-called 'strong' are those who refuse the self-centered drama of separation and hold the image of their neighbor’s wellbeing as more real than their own comfort. When you bear the infirmities of the weak, you are not submitting to weakness; you are directing the energy of consciousness toward edification. Edification becomes the inner architecture of unity: imagining with steady feeling that your neighbor is already lifted, already whole, so your mind aligns to that reality. The self that fears lack dissolves as you treat neighborliness as your own I AM. Thus pleasing the neighbor is not manipulation but alignment—your sense of self warmed by the conviction that all are one in God, enabling the community to thrive within you. The outcome is not merely social harmony but a real shift of consciousness from scarcity to abundance in relationship.
