Inner Charity in Action
Proverbs 31:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 31:20 describes someone who reaches out to the poor, showing a compassionate, generous posture toward those in need. It signals an inner mercy that seeks to help the less fortunate.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 31:20 speaks to a consciousness that reaches out in mercy. In Neville's language, the 'stretched hand' is an inner posture, not a mere act of charity. Assume the I AM as your ruling awareness and let that awareness notice need without reacting from lack. When you imagine yourself as the giver—already possessed of all you could ever give—the feeling of generosity arises as a natural expression of that self. The poor and the needy are not separate from you; they are the appearance of your inner attitude toward lack. By feeling yourself in possession and extending that presence, you convert scarcity into abundance and make mercy tangible in your life. This comes not from striving, but from revision: you revise your sense of self from one who lacks to one who embodies the answer to need. Sit with this truth, and your external scenes will begin to reflect the inner mercy you have chosen to be.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the feeling of abundance as the I AM, and visualize yourself reaching out to someone in need; soften the sense of separation with a firm revision: 'I am the provision that meets every need.'
