God is not a control freak!

I was watching the “Nativity movie” some days ago. At its end is the birth of Jesus, the Word made flesh. As I look at the baby Jesus, I realized that God is not a control freak as many of us think. It’s His way or the highway is how many of us perceive God, the almighty became a helpless baby! I was looking at the Christ child and was amazed how small and vulnerable he was, and this was GOD!? No control freak will trust his very life to anyone. But Jesus did. He entrusted the safety of his human life to Mary and Joseph. Few of us really realize that God gave us “free will” and he respects it. If he was a control freak He should have just made us like robots. But that is not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible wants his creatures to cooperate with him, from Adam to the new Adam, Jesus. He has given us freedom to choose him and participate in His plan of salvation. Like Mary and Joseph, whom God entrusted to participate in His plan of salvation, we too are given the same privilege to participate in His plan of the salvation of souls. We all have a role to play in the Divine Drama. We are free to choose to partake or not, for our God is not a control freak!

Practical Suggestion: What have we done to participate in the salvation of souls? Have we told our friends, family, specially children about Jesus and his great love for us? We don’t need to be preachy. We can do it in small ways like praying before meals, thanking God in front of them with a blessing receive. We can do little things to put God in the consciousness of those people around us.
