Abundant River Within: Proverbs 11:25-27

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 11:25–27 speaks of a liberal soul, whose waterer waters himself as he waters others. In my inner world, generosity is not an act but a state of consciousness—the I AM pouring through me when I am truly present to another’s need. When I imagine blessing another—giving time, a word, a resource—I do not diminish myself; I set the current of life in motion and discover that my own reservoir is refreshed and filled with more life-energy. Withholding, I see, is simply a misalignment of appetite and awareness; it hardens the atmosphere and invites the curses of a contracted mind. Conversely, blessing others places blessing on my head, for blessing follows aligned inner action. To diligently seek good is to align with the stream of good in creation, and the universe mirrors back favor in form. I am the source; my state precedes my world. By choosing good in thought and deed, I awaken a consistent blessing and a life that proves the verse.
