A Fear of Being Too Happy?

This quote reminds me of my study this year on loving God with all your mind...

"Those who are wholly God's are always happy...Happy are they who give themselves to God...Happy are they who throw themselves with bowed head and closed eyes into the arms of the "Father of mercies" and the "God of all consolation"....Those who are God's are always glad, when they are not divided, because they only want what God wants and want to do for him all that he wishes....The more one loves God, the more one is content...What folly to fear to be too entirely God's! It is to fear to be too happy."
