Inner Kindness, Outer Truth

Proverbs 19:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 19 in context

Scripture Focus

22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
Proverbs 19:22

Biblical Context

Proverbs 19:22 declares that a person's true worth is determined by kindness, and honesty stands higher than wealth or deceit. It contrasts a man whose desire is kindness with one who lies.

Neville's Inner Vision

To live this proverb is to read the inner ledger: the 'desire' of a man is his kindness, for desire is the magnetic pull of your I AM toward what you accept as real. If your imagination reverberates with kindness, that is what you are nourishing; your outer world answers not by amount of gold but by the currency of truth. A 'poor man' in the script may be one who has not bent his inner note to deceit; his material lack is no condemnation, but his integrity is wealth. The liar’s inner state—fear, concealment, and self-justification—expends his power, while the man whose desire is kindness lives by truth and so lives rich in heart. Neville's method says: imagine yourself now as the embodiment of kindness, declare 'I am kindness itself,' and feel your entire experience align with mercy, honesty, and faithful living. The eye of God—the I AM you are—remains faithful to the image you cherish; when you revise your inner desire toward kindness, you revise your entire world to reflect it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am kindness itself,' and feel that state saturating your moments. If any thought of deceit arises, revise it by returning to this image of truthful, merciful living.
