It is no small thing to raise the stature of the recipient. There are people who are not naturally recipients. Never having been impoverished and suddenly finding himself to be a taker, his self-image is not very low and it is easy to raise his spirits.
But another person may have been poor his entire life and can't remember one good day since he was born. This person may have a completely broken spirit and feels that his very foundations are collapsing. It is not easy to raise his spirits. It is very difficult to lift up such a person until he truly believes that we really love him. Like a clumsy child who has never had success it is hard to convince him that Hashem loves him. This is what the Kabbalists call מלכות (Malchus) which has nothing of its own in its essence.
Therefore it is needed for the donor to repeatedly renew his statements that are meant to lift the spirits of the recipient. Superficial statements and ones that go deeper, about every aspect of the recipient until they are fully connected. Until his stature is raised fully.
