Cheerful Inner Giving
2 Corinthians 9:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Each person should give as they have decided in their heart, not reluctantly or under obligation, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your verse reveals that giving is an inner decision, a choice made by the I AM that governs your life. When you say, 'I purposeth in my heart,' you awaken to a mindset of sufficiency; you acknowledge that supply begins within and flows outward. Grudgingness and compulsion are voices of lack, trying to override the cheerful state your true self already knows. God loves a cheerful giver because the cheerful state is the natural alignment of consciousness with abundance. The act of giving then becomes not a sacrifice but a joyous expression of an inner kingdom supplied by awareness. If you imagine yourself as already held in infinite good, your outward generosity becomes the natural ripple of that inner conviction. The outer act cannot produce abundance; it only reflects the certainty already held in your inner vision. Therefore, practice the inward decision first, feel the reality of plenty, and let that feeling inform your decisions and actions in the world. As you maintain the inner posture, you will find your giving joyfully flows from you, and your world mirrors that cheerful state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare inwardly, 'I have decided in my heart to give cheerfully.' Feel the warmth of that decision as abundance already yours, letting that feeling guide your next act of giving.
