Grace Beyond Retaliation

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Saul as the old self clinging to grievance and the impulse to retaliate, while David embodies a new consciousness that chooses mercy. When Saul declares that David is more righteous, he names the inner rebirth that happens when you refuse harm. The line about reward for good points to the inner law: mercy aligns your state with harmony, and the world reflects that alignment. If you encounter an enemy in your life, the invitation is to release him in your imagination, letting mercy be your governing state. The inner Spirit rewards that goodness by restoring balance through grace and favor far beyond the visible scene. Your task is to live from that merciful state rather than from injury, for mercy is the operating assumption that makes your experiences mirror righteousness and reconciliation. In this narrative you are urged to trust that inner justice is already established within you, and your outer world will respond accordingly.
