[:en]In playing chess, every move that one makes ends up serving the purpose of the master player. Likewise, God is the Grand Master. We are granted freedom to make our moves, but eventually, it ends up serving His eventual goal of restoration (Rom. 8:21)
Good things such as health, wealth and talent can be offered to Him to serve his purpose. Bad things such as poverty, disability, family dysfunction, failure can also be an instrument to drive him to God. So let us be opened to accept whatever is given to us or taken from us.[:]
