Who will liberate God's heart ?

So many times, I hear people say "Do not worry,God is in control"

If we look around, see the evil in the world for one day or throughout history, how can anyone say God is in control.

I am sure He could be in control if He wanted to but then we would just be His puppets.

True Love requires free will and makes itself vulnerable to the other to respond in kind.

God wants to experience true love with us. It takes two for love to manifest. There has to be an object to God's love.

Consequently as we read in Gen 6:6 God's heart is in great pain.

As our Heavenly Parent, God suffers when he see the situation of humanity, the suffering of his children.
 
GId in control...suffering...with a heart...

I believe G!d is principle, and don't attribute human organs or ego issues or failings to this entity.

I believe G!d isn't loving, but G!d IS love.

I did not mean God's heart is an organ.

Pray but move your feet.
We are the instruments of G!ds good works.
Did Mother Theresa just sit back and make a wish list or did she take action, do you not believe G!d worked through her?

Ok so you mean faith in actions.
I do agree with that, sure

Like I say to my kids: See it. Be it

I see that you like to superimposed the image of man over your idea of God.
God is not a man (or woman either).
So this kind of reads like a Walt Disney version of reality.
All anthropomorphic and such.

Actually, it is the opposite. It is because God created us in His image that we are able to relate to Him as our parent.
We are the resultant beings. God is the causal being
How can we know the nature of God, who is invisible ?
We can know it through observing the Creation. Just as the work of an artist is a visible manifestation of its maker's invisible nature, every being in the Creation is a substantial manifestation of the invisible nature of God, its creator
For this reason, Paul said: "Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made" (Rom 1:20)

Walt Disney became so successful because he gave different human characters to the stars he created for his movies.
 
IMO it is inappropriate to try to understand God by making comparisons with ourselves.
We can draw a lot of understanding from the well of the natural world when we are working at spiritual comprehension. But God IMO, is more a Force of Nature and IT than a He.
Besides we do not know really anything in detail about our creation.
All we have are very sketchy mythologies.
I am more partial to the idea of Panspermia.
But nobody really knows for certain how that went down.

What you are describing here is what I call the Universal Prime Force. It is the fundamental force of God, the force of creation that endows every being as God's substancial object

Well, I do not know much about the concept of Panspermia. I will need to learn what it means.
I do think that we know a lot about what God's nature is like by finding the characteristics which are common to all entities in his creation.
 
God is principle, the thought behind the action.
We people are like the arm of action which is moved by the Principle.
And we have the power of choice, but are we moved from selfish egotistical motives or by something higher?
This is where discernment comes into play and it is a skill which must be developed.
(*As in, can the individual discern the difference between what is selfish motive and what is higher motive?)
It (discernment) works in conjunction with wisdom, which is based in turn on knowledge.
Knowledge can be either true or false, so one must study and experiment to verify.
