God wants to participate in our lives, but he never forces himself upon us. He wants our consent; he wants to be invited into our hearts and lives. But much more than consent and invitation, he desires our loving cooperation.
God yearns for us to be coworkers with him in becoming the-best-version-of-ourselves. It is this dynamic collaboration between God and man that brings delight to God.
When you say yes to God, that is when the impossible becomes possible. Remember the words of Saint Francis from the beginning of Advent:
“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
