Ready Mind, Generous Heart

2 Corinthians 8:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 8 in context

Scripture Focus

10And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
2 Corinthians 8:10-12

Biblical Context

Paul urges the Corinthians to move from willingness to actual giving. The call rests on inner readiness, not external wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the words as a door into your own consciousness. The readiness to will is the inner approval, the ignition that says, I can give because I am the giving I seek to see. God, the I AM within, does not assess you by what you lack but by the faith you entertain in your own sufficiency. When there is first a willing mind, the outer act is simply the natural expression of an inward state that has already been formed. You began this movement a year ago, not as a memory of duty, but as a present invitation your inner self accepted. Therefore, the "expedience" Paul speaks of is the immediate alignment of consciousness with abundance; the performance follows the perception you hold about yourself. Do not wait for circumstances to be rearranged; cultivate the knowing that your willingness is the cause and your action is its echo. As you hold this inner position, you will notice that giving is not a burden but an emanation of your true nature, and obedience becomes joyful faithfulness rather than rule-bound effort.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat: 'I have a ready mind; I give now from abundance.' Then visualize the gift already complete and feel grateful as if the act were done.
