Inner Peace Through Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5-7 invites you to see pride as a state of separation from the I AM and to choose mercy and truth as inner faculties that purge the sense of guilt and wrongdoing. Pride is not a person but a posture of the mind that says 'I am separate from God'—and such a posture cannot be tolerated by the living reality you are. The LORD's fear is not threat but reverential attention—the discipline of returning your mind to alignment with the divine order. When you set your inner weather to please this inner ruler, you become a vessel through which peace flows. Even your enemies can be at rest with you because you are no longer actuated by personal struggle but by a shared truth. This is not coercion but inner alignment; you do not conquer others, you yield to the truth that dissolves conflict. Practice imagining: I am at peace; I forgive; I move through life with mercy; then watch as conditions respond to your revised state.
