Anger Deferment and Grace

Proverbs 19:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 19 in context

Scripture Focus

11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
Proverbs 19:11

Biblical Context

Discretion defers anger, and the verse honors that restraint. True glory lies in passing over a transgression.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the I AM stands still, watching the surge of anger as a passing weather. The discretion of a man is not a rule but a recognition: you are the consciousness that remains unmoved while the pulse of emotion runs its course. When the impulse to retaliate or defend arises, do not fight the feeling; acknowledge it and then choose from the timeless vantage of awareness. To defer anger is to grant your own being a moment of stillness, and to pass over a transgression is a grace you confer upon your world by refusing to identify with the offense. As you dwell in the assumption that you are this serene consciousness, your outer life aligns to reflect that inner victory—judgments soften, relationships heal, and reconciliation becomes present because you have already approved it in imagination. Remember that God is the I AM within you; your imagination writes reality, not the other way around. So cultivate the state of mercy, and the day will unfold as a demonstration of inner mastery.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the calm observer now: feel your anger subside and the impulse to retaliate dissolve. Then forgive in your imagination, seeing the other as already pardoned.
