I mean from my memory I think you pretty much nailed it. It’s funny, when I was growing up in church, the way they preached about these passages made me think they were very difficult- like so difficult it might actually be better to just focus on some of the other things the Bible says you should do. Now that I’m an adult I see these are actually the easiest and the most natural, it’s just the conservative society I was in made it seem like giving freely to others would be impossible. Or at least extremely complicated.
