Inner Readiness for Generosity

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the passage as an image of your inner economy. The saints are those you extend mercy to in your daily life; the ministering they receive is the proof that you are already generous in your I AM. Paul's boast about readiness is not about external accounts but about an inner disposition your mind's forwardness. When you discover that Achaia was ready a year ago, you discover that in your inner world, readiness is a known state, not an event to control later. The readiness of the apostle is a conscious invitation to you: do not leave your inner cupboards bare, and do not fear appearing unprepared in the face of life's Macedonia. The we that fears shame is the ego clinging to absence; the truth is that your awareness creates the conditions of giving. As you assume the feeling of already having given, you become an instrument by which blessings flow; your desire to help becomes a natural expression of your I AM, not a debt to be paid. The real readiness is faith in your own inner power to bless through intention.
