Anger and Mercy Within
Jeremiah 3:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 3:5 questions whether anger can last forever and notes that people have spoken and acted evil as far as they could.
Neville's Inner Vision
The verse reveals the mind's fear that anger endures in the divine; in truth, 'God' is the I AM within you, the awareness choosing your state. Anger is a temporary movement of consciousness you can revise by assuming a higher state. Mercy and compassion are not distant favors but your habitual posture of awareness. If you have spoken and done evil as you could, you have not altered your essence—only believed a pattern. Turn by choosing a higher state now; imagine the I AM declaring, 'This anger ends here; I choose mercy and clarity.' Feel the reality of your inner governor who forgives, not condemns. In repentance, shift your attention from the old deed to the new state you will inhabit. Your world then reflects the inner turning, where judgment yields to mercy and the perceived end of anger becomes a new beginning.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as the governor of your mind; revise 'anger forever' to 'I am calm, compassionate, and turning now' and feel it real.
