Mercy at the Inner Crossway
Obadiah 1:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Obadiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse condemns blocking the escape of fugitives and surrendering those in distress; it calls for mercy, righteousness, and accountability within your inner life and relationships.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the crossway as an inner choice point rather than a place in the world. To stand there and cut off those who escaped is to cling to fear and to deny the wholeness of your own consciousness. To deliver up the remaining in distress is to abandon a part of yourself that has not yet been healed by your imagination. The call is mercy, not judgment: in the I AM that you are, every part of you is included and given freedom by your assumption. When you understand that imagination creates reality, you see that you do not punish or banish any expression of yourself; you bless and reintegrate, allowing every state to return to unity. Stand at the crossroad with the conviction that all your versions, escaped or distressed, are already held in the divine I AM and are thereby made whole. Then the outer world will reflect the inner decision you have made to preserve life and unity in every facet of self.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, stand at the inner crossroad, and affirm I AM mercy that holds every part of me intact; none is cut off, none left in distress. Feel that unity as real for a minute.
