Dwelling in Divine Love

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the text points to an unseen majesty—the I AM that you are—speaking through the ordinary act of kindness. God is not a distant person you must chase; He is the living awareness in which you awaken. The passage Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another becomes you awaken to the fact that love is the inner condition of your mind, the posture of consciousness that makes every encounter a revelation of the divine. No man hath seen God at any time means you do not seek Him as a man outside; you discern Him when you love, for love is the sign that God dwells in you. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us — the more consistent your loving, the more perfectly your inner life matches the divine presence. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit — the Spirit is your steady sense of being, a gift that confirms you are a tenant of the eternal home. Practice love as your inner realization, and the outer becomes a mirror of this unity.
