21._ Respect

But, how He can save us without annihilating us? If His will imposes to us, ours is annulled. We believe, on the contrary, that God, to save us, proposes Himself to respect our personality, to preserve our will.
We know that we express ourselves clumsily because we speak only by intuition and analogy, but we think that God does not want to impose to us overwhelmingly, but that it looks for to engage in a dialog with us, to call us, to convince us, to seduce us smoothly, from you to you, so that we accept His gift of salvation freely.
He does not want to be a dominator, a monarch who demands submission and observance, but a loving father --or mother-- that offers understanding, pardon, consolation and happiness, to us, to all we, His least and ephemeral ancestors/sons.

Of course, God is at another level. In order to look for us and to engage in a dialog with us He must "lower" to our level. He, who is in our future, must appear in our time, in our history. He, who is the emergent one by antonomasia, must appear like one of us, and not only in appearance but in authenticity, in solidarity.

It is clear that all this is so extraordinary that us could not have think of it if it did not form part of the message who we have received. However, as well as we have heard it, now we recognize it like totally coherent with ours (modest) point of view.
