Free Will and Time

I believed that love was possible only in presence of Free Will, the possibility of the creature says NO to its creator. This reasoning has a time component:

  1. the creator asks something to the creature
  2. the creature answers anything that is completely unknown to the creator, as if the creature is a black box.
Today I strongly believe that the Lord is outside the time and space domain (because He is outside and inside the Universe), so this notion of Free Will as basis for love does not apply to Him. I mean, to the Lord, question and answer may happen at the same time or even in reverse time. Perhaps it would resemble a man writing a book: he may write his story in reverse order too. May the author of a book love some personage? The analogy is not perfect, but it seems clear to me that he may love some personage and hate another one. A human author can not create personages that will really gain life outside of the book; but the Lord creates personages that will love Him for his delight and in some way, gain life outside the book. I was called to transcend.
