Inner Covenant of Grace

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s line reveals that life and death are states of consciousness, not external events. The phrase there is but a step between me and death marks the threshold of a belief the mind still treats as real—until the I AM renders it moot. The oath as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth anchors the self in divine presence, the eternal I AM which knows no finality. The grace in Jonathan's eyes is the inner recognition of one's own essential favor and worth, the grace of God shining as thought in a beloved mirror. The vow is a commitment to live from that inner grace, not to seek salvation from an outer king. When you align with this inner covenant, fear loses its grip and death becomes a rumor, because the mind dares to live as if grace already is the only reality. Imagination becomes the bridge between fear of loss and the triumph of life, and faith becomes your daily practice.
