Designed for a purpose
Mrs. Evangeline P Dhinakaran
There are two great moments in a person’s life - One is the moment when born as a babe in this world. Another one is, when one realizes the purpose of one’s birth in this world. Beloved, you are born in this world just to love the Lord with all your heart, soul and strength. Yes, you are His workmanship to fulfil His good purpose. He has crafted you very carefully to reveal Him in this world in a very special way. You are designed for a specific purpose. And His plans and purposes are always for your good. It can never misfit you! The Creator knows the purpose of His creation!
When I was newly married, I found that my whole family is serving the Lord and I was not confident within myself. I said, “How can I do ministry?” The days passed by. I just prayed with my father Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran for my studies, as I was doing my B.Com (third year) at that time and I was very weak. He began to pray and the Lord spoke to me, “From today, I will give you the strength to pass out in examination. But, My child, get up and go to serve Me.” From that very moment, I clung onto Him and said, “Yes Lord, I will go.” I understood His plans for me and began to focus on spiritual things. I am blessed with a godly mother, Mrs Stella Dhinakaran who encouraged me to share my testimony in the beginning days. I used to shiver and feel shy to even testify. But, after I received the Holy Spirit, His purposes started getting revealed in my life. Yes! When I begin to pray for the people, God would pour out his Holy Spirit upon all and delivers them from all their problems. I passed in my examination too. My weaknesses left me as I became strong in the Lord. Today, the Lord is using me mightily in His ministry as He had designed me for that very purpose!

Beloved, Jesus knows you even before you were formed in your mother’s womb. God conceived you in His mind at first. Then, He crafted every small detail of yours. The Bible too promises you “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand” (Ephesians 2:10). So today, decide to seek the Lord continually to slip in to your purpose designed by God Himself. You cannot have a better life from other than what has been designed for you by Him. As you seek, you will find.
