What Does Deuteronomy 15:10 Mean?
The law reaches into the emotional life: 'thine heart shall not be grieved.' It is not enough to give if the giver does so grudgingly or with bitterness. True obedience includes a willing spirit, a heart at peace with the gift.
God's blessing is the answer to generous giving. The one who loans with an open heart and joyful spirit will find God's hand upon all their work. This is not transactional greed but a promise: faithfulness is rewarded.
