33._ Humility

Nothing farther from God that the concept of a dominating, prepotent, overwhelming rescuer, who "saves you, if you want or you do not want", by the force, like so many "providentials rescuers", dictators in fact, and tyrants, of history.

On the contrary, as it was shown in Jesus, God is "meek and humble of heart", pacific and kind, like a father --or a mother-- comprehensive, loving and indulgent, who respects the freedom of His human creatures, whom He loves, to save them requesting their consent, convincing them, seducing them, putting Himself at their level, engaging in a dialog with them, supporting sincerely with them.

The power and the Majesty of God are beyond our capacity of understanding or imagination; we can perhaps watch it in the moving immensity of the Universe, or in the wonderful complexity of the Life. All human power and majesty are derisory before Him. Nevertheless, His benevolence is so great that He was arranged to humiliate Himself being made one of us to request us "from you to you" that we accept Him.
