Lily Among Thorns: Inner Love Light

Song of Solomon 2:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 2 in context

Scripture Focus

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon 2:2

Biblical Context

The lily stands as purity amid thorny opposition. It signals love's beauty within adversity.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this line, the lily is not a flower planted in the field, but a concept in your mind—a pure idea of love shining amid the crowd of thorny thoughts. The thorns and daughters are inner habits, distractions, and outward conditions; the lily reveals that the true beloved is your own I AM, the awareness that remains unblemished by the weather of circumstance. When you dwell in the I AM, love becomes not a possession to be chased but a discernment that you already are. The lily among thorns shows that contrast is the teacher: adversity does not touch the inner purity, it merely provides a setting in which your consciousness can recognize itself. Practice: assume the presence of perfected love now; revise by affirming, 'I am love in this moment,' and feel that reality as real as the thorn is sharp. Let the inner light expand until the outer world reflects your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a luminous lily standing tall among a hedge of thorny branches inside your mind; declare I AM love now and let it register as real.
