Liebnitz's God is "the God who chose the best of all possible worlds".

'Nor can I approve of the opinion of some moderns who maintain boldly that what God has made is not of the highest
perfection and that he could have done much better. For it seems to me that the consequences of this opinion are wholly contrary to the glory of God'.

'it is appropriate to remark that there are several entirely different perfections in nature, that God possesses
all of them together, and that each of them belongs to him in the highest degree'...'Whence it follows that God, possessing supreme and infinite wisdom, acts in the most perfect manner, not only metaphysically, but also morally speaking'

Gottfried von Liebnitz--Discourse on Metaphysics


Liebnitz maintains that God's choice is free, therefore outside of the patterns.
