Beloved State of Inner Love
Malachi 1:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
I have loved you, says the LORD; yet you question how you have been loved. Divine love is a covenant reality, not something earned by performance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your reading of the text should not be about antiquity but about your inner weather. The 'I have loved you' is the I AM within affirming its own constancy; the people's question is simply a misalignment in consciousness. Esau and Jacob are two inner dispositions: Esau is the complaint-minded, sight-oriented, believing love is scarce; Jacob is the faith-loving, remembering the covenant, sense of Providence. God's love is not something bestowed because you deserve it; it is the state of consciousness itself, a condition you may switch into at any moment. When you dwell in Jacob's consciousness, you acknowledge grace as your natural inheritance, you feel Providence guiding your steps, you extend mercy and compassion toward yourself and others. The moment you identify with that state, the external world begins to respond in harmony, because you have aligned your inner world with the truth that you are loved. The verse invites you to revise your inner memory: the world does not dictate love; your inner I AM does. Remain loyal to that inner lover and watch the outer life re-pattern itself to reflect your inner covenant.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the statement 'I am loved by God' as a present fact. Breathe into that feeling until doubt relaxes and you perceive blessing surrounding you.
