The Heart of Giving
Commentators emphasize that God is concerned not just with the act of giving, but with the giver's heart. The command that one's heart 'shall not be grieved' means giving should be done cheerfully and willingly, not grudgingly. As Matthew Henry and John Gill note, this reflects the spiritual nature of the law and anticipates the New Testament principle that 'God loves a cheerful giver' (2 Corinthians 9:7).
