Inner Discipline of Love

Proverbs 3:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 3 in context

Scripture Focus

11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Proverbs 3:11-12

Biblical Context

God's chastening is loving correction from the LORD, meant to refine the heart. It disciplines for wisdom and faithful living, not to condemn.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville lens, chastening is not punishment but a shift in your state of consciousness. The LORD’s correction is the I AM’s way of refining the vibration of your inner being. When you feel chastened, do not resist; welcome the quiet counsel as a loving father would welcome a son into maturity. Your world mirrors your current assumption; correction comes to remind you that you have drifted from your divine end, and it is reaffiliation with the state you intend to inhabit. So, imagine, as you revise, that the very friction you meet is the pressure of your thoughts being pressed into alignment with your elevated self. The act of despising chastening is rebellion against your true self; embracing it yields discernment, humility, and a clearer perception of the next right step. Thus, the discipline is a gift, a natural consequence of a heart intent on truth. Persist in the feeling that you are being gently perfected by the I AM, and your consciousness will settle into the desired state.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and affirm, 'I am corrected by the I AM into the state I desire.' Then feel the correction as a warm inner current aligning you with your goal.
