Grace and Peace Within Thessalonians

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the words 'to the church in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ' are not a place you visit, but your own state of consciousness in which you dwell. Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus are facets of your I AM—the awakened, the messenger, and the guide—standing at the threshold of your inner temple to greet your sovereign self. Grace and peace do not come from without, but are the natural atmosphere of awareness when you consent to the truth that you are in God and in Christ. This is the inner visitation: God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are your constant presence, not distant concerns. When you assume the feeling of being embraced by grace and peace, you align with the fact that your consciousness is the one true church, inseparable from the Source. As you linger in that interior greeting, you rewrite your sense of separation, and the implied fear dissolves into a quiet, luminous certainty that you are already crowned with grace and at peace in the divine union.
