Inner Charity That Covers Sins
1 Peter 4:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter urges fervent charity among believers. Charity covers a multitude of sins.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine that the entire circle of your acquaintance exists within your own I AM awareness. The 'sins' of others are not to be condemned, but to be seen as misperceptions softened by love. When you cultivate fervent charity, you are not merely feeling kindness; you are occupying a state of mind where judgment dissolves. Charity acts like a veil of light that hides mistakes from your attention and reclaims others as aspects of your own being. In Neville’s terms, the world outside is a mirror of your inner state: mercy is the creative power that quietly redefines reality. When you persist in this inner charity, forgiveness becomes not a force you exert but a condition you live from—thereby freeing you and others from the burden of fault. The I AM that you are heals through sympathy, moving divisions into unity, and revealing the continuous presence of love behind every encounter.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the feeling of universal mercy now, and revise any grievance by affirming, "I AM charity in this moment." Feel the warmth of that awareness gently covering the perceived fault.
