Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 2:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

2 Corinthians 2:4

Biblical Context

Paul writes from a place of deep affliction and tears, not to grieve, but to awaken you to the love already abundant within you. The affliction is an inner movement inviting you to rest in the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s tears are not a plea to the world but a signpost pointing you to the I AM within. The affliction he mentions is a movement of consciousness—an old habit of thinking you are without love. In your real nature, however, the I AM is love itself, abundant and constant. When you receive this truth, the letter becomes personal: the outward sorrow mirrors the inner dialogue turning toward its divine companion. You revise the scene by resting in the awareness that your reality is the I AM loving you presently; you do not fix a situation, you awaken to the state that makes the situation irrelevant. The love he proclaims is not earned by behavior but discovered as the always-present life of God within you. As you persist in this inner recognition, fear dissolves, and your world reflects that concord. The verse’s tears thus train you to abandon struggle for the certainty that you are cherished, held, and eternally guided by the one I AM you.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the I AM loving you abundantly, here and now, and let that assumption rest until it feels real. Then carry that felt state into your daily moments as the foundation of your experience.
