Really good text, thank you.

I also tried to help her discover in God’s will a wonderful freedom and fun, arguing that God allows us a spacious space in which to exercise a real creativity that positively contributes novelty to his plan. I said, “God is a Father, not a dictator; a lover, not a puppet master. He doesn’t give us freedom only to render it irrelevant. Yes, he wants us to have the heart of the child, but also the mind of an adult [1 Cor. 13:11].”

From text quoting St Augustine: "Once for all, then, a short precept is given unto you: Love God, and do what you will. Whether you hold your peace, through love hold your peace; whether you cry out, through love cry out; whether you correct, through love correct; whether you spare, through love do you spare. In all things, let the root of love be within, for of this root can nothing spring but what is good."
