Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7

Biblical Context

Giving follows the heart's purpose; it is not forced, but aligned with your inner intention. The harvest appears in proportion to that inner measure, and God loves a cheerful giver.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that 'sowing' and 'reaping' are not about crops but about the garden of your consciousness. When you decide in your heart to give, you are not bandying coins; you are revising your sense of limitation and aligning with the law of circulation within your I AM. If you sow sparingly, you confess scarcity; you invite a sparing harvest because your inner verdict echoes back as your outer environment. If you sow bountifully, you declare abundance into your own being, and the world mirrors that decision with generous returns. The line 'every man according as he purposeth in his heart' is a command to adjust your inner permission, not a rule imposed from without. God loves a cheerful giver because cheerful giving reveals that you believe in a living, abundant Presence that you are. Your giving is a movement of consciousness; it is the act of letting your inner wealth move through you and outward, thereby renewing your sense of value and possibility. So make the shift now: sit as the I AM who has all, and allow generosity to be your steady radiance, not a reaction to circumstances.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of stillness, imagine a circle of giving and receiving flowing through you; feel the joyous certainty that abundance is your true state. Then make a small, cheerful act of giving today, with the inner conviction that you have more than enough.
