Inner Care, Outward Action

2 Corinthians 8:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 8 in context

Scripture Focus

16But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
2 Corinthians 8:16-17

Biblical Context

God stirred Titus with sincere care for the Corinthians. Titus willingly accepted the exhortation and went to them on his own accord.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective: The verse tells us that the I AM—God within you—placed the same earnest care in Titus's heart for others. When Titus heeded the exhortation, it was not only an external obligation but the inward movement of consciousness waking to its own desire to serve. The 'going unto you' was the outer manifestation of a prior inner act: an impression in awareness becoming form as a person steps forward of his own accord. You too are that inner actor. The same care that God places in another's heart toward you is a mirror of the care you hold in your own consciousness about your life, your brethren, and your opportunities. The moment you recognize that you are always in a state that moves people and events toward you, you can revise any belief of resistance. The key is to inhabit the feeling that the exhortation to act has already occurred within you and that the action you seek is already underway, in mental form, awaiting its coming into outward expression. Let Titus's voluntary movement remind you: obedience to inner impulse is faith in action.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume this inward care is already placed in your own heart toward another, and dwell in the feeling of their forthcoming response as if it has already arrived. Feel it real now.
