Inner Labour of Generosity

Acts 20:34-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 20 in context

Scripture Focus

34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:34-35

Biblical Context

Paul notes that his own hands supplied his needs and those with him, and he shows by example how to labor to support the weak; he recalls Jesus' saying it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines reveal an inner economy: the hands are your conscious acts in the light of I AM, and the 'weak' you are asked to support are the felt lacks within your own mind. When Paul says he ministered to his necessities 'these hands' did the ministering, he is pointing to the inner discipline whereby your awareness provides for every demand of life. Labouring is not toil outside, but steady, imaginative endeavor; the consciousness that supplies must be cultivated. The phrase 'remember the words of the Lord Jesus'—It is more blessed to give than to receive—beckons you to shift your center from receiving limitation to giving reality. As you practice, you discover that giving is not a sacrifice but an act of alignment with the I AM, the source behind every supply. When you act as if you already are the distribution of fullness, you awaken the principle that you can be the builder of abundance for others and yourself. Your world rearranges itself as your inner conviction of abundance moves from potential to actual.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the supply now'; imagine your hands actively giving to a person or situation in need, feeling the joy of giving as the natural state of your consciousness.
