The Bible passage encourages cheerful giving without reluctance or compulsion as God loves generous donors. Mother Teresa advised helping one person if unable to help many. For some, happiness comes from others showing they care. Giving can cheer one's own heart and life.

2. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:7.

3. Mother Teresa said “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” What makes you happy? A million pounds? A new car? A great holiday?
