Romans 12:9-13 Inner Love Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Romans 12:9-13 speaks not of outward show but of the state of your inner being. When it says let love be without dissimulation, it points to the I AM that watches your thoughts and feelings; to pretend there is love while you doubt is not true alignment. Abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good—choose, in every moment, thoughts and habits that heal and uplift your life, for thoughts are your most faithful servants. The kindly affection and honoring one another reveal the inner arrangement of your consciousness: you are called to see your neighbor as a reflection of the divine self within you, which silently confirms your own worth. Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord means applying your imagination with zeal, turning daily work into sacred service by assuming the state you desire and acting from the conviction that God lives in you. Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer guards your inner weather—steady, expectant, and awake. Distributing to the necessities of saints and hospitality becomes an overflow of your inner abundance, spilling into the world as grace.
