Inner Worth Over Vanity

Neville's Inner Vision

Favour and beauty are not realities in the inner economy; they are props that fade when you turn your attention from the I AM to the surface. The verse names the truth: the worth that endures is the state of fear of the LORD, i.e., the alignment with divine consciousness. In Neville's language, the 'woman who fears the LORD' is the person who has chosen to identify with the Lord's presence within. When you identify with that reality, you stop seeking compliments from the world and begin to live from the steady, inner light that never wavers. Favour is deceitful because it depends on changing circumstances; beauty is vain because it depends on optics and time. But the I AM inside remains constant. Practice: assume you are that faithful consciousness now, imagine that the LORD's reverence governs your life, and feel the assurance that you are praised by the innermost you. As you persist, your external life rearranges to reflect that inner order, not as a 'reward' but as the natural expression of that aligned being.
