“Why must we give ourselves fully to God? Because God has given Himself to us. If God who owes nothing to us is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves? To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God Himself. I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way induce God to live for me. Therefore to possess God we must allow Him to possess our soul.”
“Ask Jesus not to allow me to refuse Him anything, however small. I rather die.”
~Mother Teresa
What does it mean for us to never say 'no' to God? Can we actually trust that God does love us and want what is best for us enough to (even preemptively, like Mama T) always say 'yes'?

Amen. Why does that seem so hard to do?
