Grace as Covenant Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the LORD is not a distant deity but the I AM you awaken to. The people are held by a state of mercy that does not depart when fear arises, for the covenant pledged with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob resides as a steadfast assumption in consciousness. Grace then becomes a psychological atmosphere, a surrounding presence you can inhabit now. When you live from that covenant—when you imagine yourself cherished, respected, and kept in divine presence—you experience protection from destruction as the natural outgrowth of inner alignment. The text does not speak of external rescue alone; it describes the inner agreement whereby God, the universal awareness, refuses to cast you from its presence as long as you remain in the mood of faith and gratitude. Thus, the merciful attitude is not earned by deeds but awakened by the awareness of your true identity. Your circumstances reflect this inner mercy, not the other way around.
