Freedom is a gift of God’s love.
God has deliberately exposed himself
to the perils of our rebelliousness.God’s love is constantly rejected
and yet God continues to love.God’s omnipotence has a self-imposed impotence.
God cannot force humans to love.
We can thwart the fulfilment of creation
by excluding God from it.
We have been given extraordinary freedom.God gives us the freedom to reject Him;
and it is that very freedom
which allows us to love God.
I have taken the liberty of posting this from Gerry Straub as part of my indefinite series on poverty… just seemed to fit so well with what I’ve been thinking!
