God is Love

[Old_Joe]

If God is love and as Mother Theresa once said, "We are called to little things with great love." wouldn't that make each of those little things an act of God?

yes, insofar as it is only through his grace that we are able to perform any charitable or meritorious work. that is why, when someone does something good for us, we are inclined to say, "thank you God." he is at the source of every good thing in this world.

however, while we acknowledge this, we must be careful not to discredit the role of man's free will. the Lord forces us to do nothing. so, when i do a good thing, it is neither God entirely working or me entirely working. instead it is God and man working together to bring good into the world.
