The fact that love does not operate according to the rules of power may help explain why God sometimes seems shy to use his power.  He created us to love him, but his most impressive displays of miracle - the kind we may secretly long for - do nothing to foster that love.  

Gouglas Hall puts it, “God’s problem is not that God is not able to do certain things.  God’s problem is that God loves.  Love complicates the life of God as it complicates every life. “
