Any "percieved limitation" is not a limitation of God Himself per se, but rather a limitation God imposes on himself. Let me explain, everything in this creation exists in 4 dimensions as discrete units that move through time in one direction only. God only followed the rules that He had made in the first place, besides I don't think a God that just "exists" can fit into any sort of discrete unit anywhere. Thus the need for Christ. Jesus was the temporal answer of how to be totally God, but exist as a discrete unit moving through time in one direction. What is interesting is that since God always is, even though He existed as a discrete unit, He also had to existed outside of time at the same time. I think when explained like this, the Trinity can at least be understood in an, albeit, abstract way.

This I know God does all the time. Otherwise, no one should die, because He doesn't want them to. But He has limited Himself from interfering in our world; that is not to say there are no miracles, or that He stands by and idly watches, or that He even ignores us.
