Hunger for Righteousness Within
Matthew 5:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus blesses those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, promising they will be satisfied. The verse points to an inner longing for right relationship with God that becomes real through inner work.
Neville's Inner Vision
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness speaks not of a distant prize but of the awakening of your own consciousness. Hunger and thirst are the stirrings of the I AM, an inner appetite for alignment with the divine order already resident in you. Righteousness here is right relationship with God, the inner law by which you live. When you persist in this longing with the certainty that God is your awareness, the promise follows: you shall be filled. Not as a future donation from heaven, but as the natural overflow of your inner state becoming tangible. As you dwell in the feeling that you already possess the rightness you seek—already whole, already at one with the inner kingdom—the outer conditions rearrange to reflect that state. The Kingdom of God is within; to fill you is to reconcile your thoughts, words, and deeds with that truth until life itself bears witness. Remember, imagination creates reality. By assuming the end, by feeling the wish fulfilled, you craft a present where fullness is your ordinary tone.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume you are already filled with righteousness; feel the I AM within you as whole, and hold that sense for 3–5 minutes, letting doubt revise itself.
