“I don’t demand mortification from you, but obedience. By obedience you give great glory to Me and gain merit for yourself.” Divine Mercy in my Soul # 28
The only thing God seeks from us is our obedience. He wants us to stop saying no (sin) and start saying yes to Him in all we do.
Sin came into the world through one man’s disobedience. Adam and Eve were given one rule, not to eat from the tree. Their disobedience broke sin into the world.
Start saying yes to God now. It doesn’t have to be a big yes. He will take the small yes that you are capable to give today. If He can multiply the fish and loaves to feed 5,000 with leftovers, He can certainly multiply your little yes.
First, turn from your previous no’s by going to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Wipe out the history of No from your spiritual life.
Then, start saying yes, Lord. Don’t worry, it’s not not the difficult and God will set you up for success. Tell Him that starting today, you give your yes to the Father. And, the Father will start setting events to allow you to learn to live that yes. Little by little and step by step, He will give you a heart of yes.
Are you prone more to be defiant against God or obedient? Start with a yes and take one step forward.
