Proving Your Own Work, Inner Joy

Galatians 6:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 6 in context

Scripture Focus

4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Galatians 6:4

Biblical Context

Each person is urged to test their own work and progress. True joy comes from an inner sense of completion, not from praising or depending on another.

Neville's Inner Vision

To prove your own work is to turn the eye inward and acknowledge the state you are wearing now. External results flare from the inner conviction you hold, for God, the I AM, is your awareness. When you judge yourself by your own standard, you free your joy from comparison and plant the seed of self-sufficiency in your own consciousness. Do not seek the verdict of others; instead, observe the sensations, beliefs, and assumptions you live by, and revise them until they align with the reality you desire. If you catch yourself envying or praising another's supposed success, soften the judgment and return to the awareness that you are creating from within. Your rejoicing is not in the world’s approval but in the sense of completion already present in you. The moment you decide, 'I am the one proving this work,' you instantiate the state that bears fruit. Let your imagination dwell in the finished act as your present fact, and the outer scene will reflect that certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already the person whose work you are proving, and feel that finished state as your present reality. Rest in that awareness until it softens doubt and redraws your outer results to match.
