Wintering With You: Inner Permission

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's note is not a mere itinerary but a disclosure of a state of consciousness. To abide and winter with them is to dwell in a mood that hosts another's journey as if it were your own; it is to be guided by the inner I AM rather than the outer clock. The phrase 'if the Lord permit' becomes your daily affirmation that permission comes from within, from aligning attention with divine flow. When you assume you will tarry, you soften resistance, you invite providence to lead you to the next scene. Hospitality here is not ceremony but the precise arrangement of your inner space--your thoughts, emotions, and calls--to receive what is needed for the next move. If you feel urged to depart, you revise the feeling to: I am willing to stay until the inner season changes, trusting the Lord to reveal the path. In this way, the outer events--wintering, meeting, parting--mirror inner movements: receptivity, trust, and a future written by your present, believed as real by your I AM.
