The Inner Call to Vocation

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as your own inner state. The calling of James and John is the moment your consciousness hears a verdict from within: you are summoned to a work that cannot coexist with the old self. The nets are not merely rope and wood; they are beliefs you have tied to your identity—habits, fears, and routines that pin you to a familiar economy of experience. When Jesus calls, the brothers respond from a sense of I AM, a knowing presence you can awaken at any moment. They leave Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants—symbolizing leaving dependence on outer status and external support. Your response mirrors this: you abandon the old setup and move toward the inward vocation’s whisper, trusting that your true work will supply what you need when you obey the inner invitation. The straightway is the alignment of inner state with outward action; faithfulness means keeping to the inner law rather than clinging to the old agenda.
