Whole quote from C.S. Lewis in "Mere Christianity"
"Give me all of you!!! I don't want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don't want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self---in my image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you Myself. My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart."
Reminds me of when Paul says: I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ who liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith if the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal.2:20)
WE belong to Jesus. We are bought with the price of His shed blood. He is sovereign of all creation, and so we ought to subject ourselves wholly to Hiim knowing He is altogether good and merciful.

Such a powerful quote.
