on a God who chooses not to control
We need to get rid of the notion that God has a plan and God has everything under control. What happens is not God’s plan being unfurled. God does not have everything under control. If God had everything under control, we would not be hearing the stories we’re hearing about Penn State University today about children being abused - that is not God’s plan. That is not God’s will. God’s will is violated all the time. God chooses not to control. God chooses to let us be partners in what God is doing because what God wants is love. And love can’t manipulate. Love can’t control. - James Howell
This is quite interesting.
