Mercy Over Enemy's Fall

Neville's Inner Vision

Your enemy is a figure in your inner theatre—a belief you hold about limitation or attack. To rejoice in their fall is to affirm a split in consciousness; you feed wrath and keep yourself from the harmony of the I AM. The LORD sees your heart, not their misfortune, and when your heart is cruel, you reinforce the very condition you fear. Choose mercy as your operating principle. Assume that the conflict has already been resolved in you; revise the scene to a healed relationship, and feel as if the other is safe, thriving, and free. When you dwell in that mercy, you shift the inner weather, and outward conditions bend toward peace. Imagination creates reality; by imagining for them a release from injury, you release it for yourself. Let the idea of divine justice operate as compassion, not punishment, and you will observe that the moment you stop rejoicing in another's stumble, wrath turns away and harmony returns to your life.
