Love Covers Sins: Proverbs 10:12

Neville's Inner Vision

Hatred is not a thing out there; it is a state you entertain within the I AM. When you cling to grievances, you awaken strife as a private drama. Love, the eternal atmosphere of your consciousness, does not punish; it covers and dissolves the charge of sin by recognizing your unity with all. To interpret Proverbs 10:12, you must revise the inner weather: imagine that you already forgive, and the sense of separation fades. The man you call an enemy is simply a worn expression of your own thought, a projection demanding healing. By dwelling in the feeling of love as your native state—quiet, fearless, inclusive—you lay the ground for reconciliation to emerge in the world outside. Practice the revision until the emotion of grievance yields to mercy, until the mind grows still and luminous with the perception of oneness. The more consistently you claim this state of love, the more your circumstances reflect it, and the memory of sins losses its power to stir conflict.
