All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
PLEASE MEET MY FRIEND NICK HERE
This is truly an amazing story with great pictures!
Makes one realize how fortunate we are and how we should never complain about our own physical ailments! Truly, an amazing young man!
This touched me to the depth of my heart & soul.
Reaching out with unseen hands going with unseen feet...
My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the
world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was
faced with many challenges and obstacles.
"....To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy" As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor
of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia),
the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There
were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors were shocked and had no answers at all! There is still
no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.
The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God
of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad
thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.
"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him." That verse spoke to my heart and convicted
me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen
in our life.
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all.
I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born
blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be
a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if
it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.
I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used. I am now twenty-three
years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a
motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available.
I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also
a speaker in the corporate sector.
I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He
leads, I follow.
I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love
and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian
venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for
me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the " Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books
has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs,
No Worries!"
I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time.
As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can
do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something
for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and
we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely
on? God's!
"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be UNDERSTOOD!"
Amen!
