Mark,
You said:

First of all, there is not one passage in Scripture that saids God ‘chose’ to limit himself when he created the world.

There are two parts to the equation. If God gives free will and free choice without making the choice for us, then God allows us within limits to act with freedom as He acts. The only way that He can give free choice is to accept our choice otherwise it really isn’t a choice but an ultimate decision made by Him.
