Inner Love That Pleases Saul

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, this verse speaks of an inner state becoming visible as outer approval. The one who loves embodies the I AM's unity, and Saul's pleasure mirrors that inner harmony translated into form. Michal's affection for David stands as a symbol: love anchored in loyalty and truth, not in fear or politics, radiates outward and softens the harsh edges of the world. When you cultivate the sense that you are beloved by the divine I AM, external circumstances drift toward ease because your inner world has already found its meeting with reality. The chapter's political snare is nothing but a mirror of your own temptation to seek approval through struggle; true agreement arises when you assume you are already approved by God, and thus your choices align with what is good. Your love for the good, for others, for your own higher nature, acts like Michal toward David: a force that quiets contention and invites a benevolent response from the world. Do not chase favor by force; rest in the conviction of your inner worth, and watch events reflect that worth back to you.
