God Plays Chess Backwards

What is "God Plays Chess Backwards"?

God Plays Chess Backwards is:

When God works in your life's days, months or years in advance so that later when something happens God has already prepared you for the situation.

When a friend who helped you through something years later needs your help.

When the Lord builds a relationship years in advance of when it's needed.

When you run into someone that just happens to have already gone through the very thing you are just starting to go through.

When the right people are in place before you need them.

When you get referred to someone for support, and then they become a lifelong friend.

When God tells you to do something, and then sometime later you see the fruits of that action impacting people in ways you didn't see coming.

Everything, the good and the bad has a purpose because the Lord knew in advance and planned accordingly. He knows our good and bad decisions and still works them to amazing good things.

Dedication

Every single Oxford Comma's on this site is a dedication to my best friend who's love and tenacity for the Oxford Comma is mirrored in her inspiring ability to rise above the crap life can deal you.

Who me!?

Well I would just say I am just a guy trying to navigate through life like everyone else. Though others (you know who you are...) would argue that with me. Because they expect me to practice what I preach.

Everyone has a purpose, whether it is great or small. Everyone is created by The Lord, which means you have purpose, you have value. Else why would He spend both the time and energy to make you?!

Oh, You Wanted A Real Answer?

While I started out life in much the same environment as many Americans. A mixture of Atheism and Christianity. I chose my own path entering into my teens and walked myself into pagan beliefs and the occult for the better part of a decade.

That only served me so long. So long as my life was not in ruins that is... I hit my knees when believing I was in control cost me everything I cared most about. And in that moment, when the lenses of arrogance and selfishness fell away, I saw plainly who had been walking alongside me the entire time.

He had been there the entire time, my entire life. I knew it, I had just refused to admit it, because I refused to serve anyone but myself.
