“None of us ever fully utilizes the people-opportunities
allocated to us within our circles of friendship. You and I may call these
intersectings coincidence. This word is understandable for mortals to use, but
coincidence is not an appropriate word to describe the workings of an
omniscient God. He does not do things by coincidence but by divine design. Our
lives are like a chessboard and the Lord moves us from one place to another if
we are responsive to spiritual promptings. Looking back, we can see His hand in
our lives. Think of those times when the Lord has acted in your life. Treasure
them as moments the Lord has shown confidence in you. But allow Him to make
more of you than you can make of yourself on your own. Treasure His
involvement. Sometimes we consider changes in our plans as missteps on our
journey. Think of them more as first steps to being on the Lord’s errand.” - Elder
Neal A. Maxwell
