The Heart of Charity
Commentators emphasize that to "draw out your soul" is more than the physical act of giving. It involves a deep, heartfelt empathy for those in need. John Calvin explains it as feeling their distress as if it were your own. True charity, therefore, is not just giving from your substance, but giving from your heart with genuine affection and sympathy.
