Mercy & Truth Bound to Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that mercy and truth are not external laws but inner states of consciousness you claim as your reality. When Proverbs 3:3 says, Let not mercy and truth forsake thee, it speaks to the I AM within you—the awareness that you are already merciful and truthful. Binding them about thy neck is an image of allegiance, a decision you wear as a visible sign in your life, so that your speech and deeds constantly declare these qualities. Writing them upon the table of thine heart is a revision of the subconscious, where a new memory of yourself is placed. You do not strive to become merciful; you assume the truth of your existing mercy and truth and let the outer world conform to that inner state. Every moment is a chance to reinforce this: notice judgment, revise, forgive, and tell yourself that mercy and truth are your permanent companions. The result is harmony: discernment will align with compassion, and life will reflect the mercy you embody.
