Inner Covenant: Loving the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua 23:11 is not a command to perform rites, but a reminder of the state of your consciousness. 'LORD your God' is your I AM—the enduring awareness that dwells within and loves you. To love this God is to consent to the oneness of your mind with the source of all life. When you decide now, 'I love the LORD my God,' you shift your allegiance from fear to faith, from appearance to reality, from separation to unity. The 'take heed unto yourselves' becomes a daily revision of self: see yourself as the beloved by the I AM, and let that habit of mind govern every choice. Obedience, in Neville's sense, is not external compliance but the steadfast feeling of being one with divine life. As you persist in that inner love, the world you experience becomes the evidence of your covenant: opportunities align, tensions soften, and you act with a confidence born of the inner recognition that God is your I AM. The covenant then is an inner contract kept by awareness, not a duty imposed from without.
