God focussed work


God can use our broken dreams to build our future. I have always wanted to be a worship leader and sing praises to God. Being a literature student, I was expected to become an English teacher or professor. I followed that path because it was the easy option laid before me. God blessed me with a partner who loves books and was so proud that he married a literature person. People used to make fun of us, saying, "Your house is full of books more than anything else, and you should get rid of some." Amidst all this, I never imagined or dreamt of writing a book. But Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." God provided me with a salary to translate a book and publish it—something I would never have dreamt of in my wildest imaginations. God gave me a partner who understands the value of words when used for God and encouraged me to do so. Trust me, with my partner and my career, I always left my choices to God.

Yesterday, my junior spoke with me and said she was reading a book about Don Moen called "God Will Make a Way." She told me how God led Don Moen to realize his calling, and she added more light to my own calling to serve Him.


Hey friend, are you in a place where you are wondering, "What am I doing with my life?" Trust me, I have been through the same. But God has a great plan that is completely designed by Him for each of us, and it is greater than our dreams. We don't need to worry about anything as long as we commit ourselves to do His will. He is the God who made an evangelist out of a rebel like Paul. He is the God who brings out goodness where there seems to be no hope. I remember one of my professors who asked, "Do you even know English?" after reading my thesis. On that same day, God took me to my college chapel and said, "I think of you as a star, as a winner. Throw away the certificate the world gives you. March in your calling. Use what you have for God." God has led me to write His words, translate His words, and publish them as His literature, even though that one learned person considered me unworthy to write anything good. God writes history with what is broken in you. You are His masterpiece, says the Bible.


Stay hopeful, my friend—God will finish what He started in you, through you. Praise be to our God, who does as in 1 Corinthians 1:27-31:"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him.


You are worth every ounce of energy you invest in yourself says Preethi Daniel a renowned social worker. Put your energy in shaping your skills. Give it to the one who multiplies it to feed thousands.


Dear God,


Reveal Your calling for each of us. May we march in Your calling by holding Your loving hands. Be with us, Lord, and glorify Your name in us. Give us a life of testimony. Shape our lives in a way that glorifies You.


In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
