Dwelling in Divine Love

Neville's Inner Vision

John 15:9 is not a distant command but a statement of your true state. The Father's love for Jesus is the blueprint of the I AM consciousness within you. When you read 'continue ye in my love,' interpret it as a decision to dwell in the atmosphere of that love—the steady feeling of being cherished by the one presence you acknowledge as God. The moment you accept that you are loved, you are no longer a separate self negotiating approval; you are awareness loving itself through you. Obedience and faithfulness then become natural expressions of a mind saturated with affection, not duties pressed upon a tired will. Practically, rotate your attention to the feeling of being loved and let that feeling govern your thoughts, choices, and moods. If a fear or lack arises, revise it by returning to the remembered fact: I am loved by the Father, I am one with that love, and therefore I act from it.
