In his anguish, man cries, "If there was God, there wouldn't have prevailed such utter lawlessnes!" Indeed the Lord of this Universe has stood aside from our self. He has not shadowed our self with His throne. He has left us free. He seeks His manifestation in the will of man. As far as nature is related, man has to acknowledge the rule of God but in his self, he is free to disown Him. There our Lord must gain His admittance. There He comes not as a King but as a caller, thus, He has to wait until He is invited. God does not command our self, there He comes to seek our love. Indeed He stands away from us, where His watchful forbearance knows no bondage, and where He never tries to coerce the gate open if it's closed against Him. Our soul has to reach its ultimate destiny, not through the Lord's compelling power, but through love.
