Nick
Vujicic is a great example of someone who has joy despite the physical
challenges he faces daily. Nick was born
without arms or legs, and because of that he struggled and questioned God for
many years. He was angry at God for not giving him arms and legs, and he even wanted
to end his life.
Nick
finally surrendered his life to Christ at the age of 15 when he read John
chapter 9 about a man who was blind from birth. Jesus said that the man was
born blind, “so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.”
Through
knowing Christ Nick has found the truth of who he is and why he is here. He learned that God had a plan and a purpose
for his life, and he has found peace through knowing Christ. He has learned to
have great joy in being who God made him to be.
Nick
says, “I thank God that He didn’t answer my prayer when I was begging Him for
arms and legs at age 8… Because I have no arms and no legs He’s using me all
around the world. And we’ve seen so far approximately, now this is
conservative, 200,000 souls come to Jesus Christ for the very first time over
the last 6, 7 years… I’d rather have no arms and legs temporarily here on earth
to be able to reach someone else for Jesus Christ” (from an interview with Nick).
