Have you ever hear about Mr.Nick vujic. A Man without any limbs. http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/about-nick Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend ; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch ; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be if you were living without arms and hands? Or what about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life? Meet Nick Vujicic, pronounced 'Vooy-cheech'. Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first-born brand new baby boy for the first time, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal. A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Boris Vujicic had been expecting. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with such a massive disability? Little did they or anyone else know that this beautiful limbless baby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life. God uses Nick to touch lives and bring the hope of Jesus Christ to people across the globe. Throughout his childhood, Nick dealt not only with the typical challenges of school and adolescence such as bullying and self-esteem issues; but also struggled with depression and loneliness. He constantly questioned why he was different than all the other kids surrounding him; why he was the one born without arms and legs. He wondered what the purpose behind his life was, or if he even had a purpose. According to Nick, the victory over his struggles throughout his journey, as well as the strength and passion he has for life can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and the many people he has encountered along the way have also encouraged him. After school, Nick went on with further study and obtained a double Bachelor's degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning from Griffith University in Logan, Australia. By the age of 19, Nick started to fulfill his dream of being able to encourage other people and bring them the gospel of Jesus through motivational speaking and sharing his testimony about how God changed his life and gave him a future and a hope. "I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There's a purpose for why you're in the fire." Nick wholeheartedly believes that there is a purpose in each of the struggles we each encounter in our lives, and that our attitude towards those struggles, along with our faith and trust in the Lord can be the keys to overcoming the challenges we face. Now at 27 years old, this limbless young man has accomplished more than most people accomplish in a lifetime. Nick recently made the massive move from Brisbane, Australia to California, USA, where he is the President of an international non-profit organization; Life Without Limbs, and also has his own motivational speaking company; Attitude Is Altitude. Since his first speaking engagement back when he was 19, Nick has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions of people, speaking to a range of different groups such as students, teachers, youth, businessmen and women, entrepreneurs, and church congregations of all sizes. He has also told his story and been interviewed on various televised programs worldwide. "If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!" --- On Sun, 8/8/10, Priya Gopal <priyagopal.s@gmail.com> wrote: From: Priya Gopal <priyagopal.s@gmail.com> Subject: [www.keralites.net] Why god created a handicapped living entity???

Everyone knows that "All are equal before god", but why God created the living entities with so much difference. Someone gets a nice body, someone gets a diseased body. Someone gets some wealthy life or little struggle he can get some wealth, but someone even though very hard working still getting a small portion. Why God treats like that? First of why God does anything only he can reply, I can give you my opinion but its simply that my opinion, no one is Gods mouth piece. A handicapped life is not a lesser life. There are many handicapped people who are happy with who they are and have many gift and talents to offer the world. There is no life born with no value, from the smallest baby alive for only moments to 400 lb guy to a beauty queen to a pauper with no legs in Bangladesh. All there lives have purpose and meaning all are learning different lessons and teaching a variety of things to the people and world around them. A wealthy lifestyle is no key to happiness or fulfillment only to buying more stuff. God only gives you what you can handle, yes some people lives are a larger challenge than others but happiness is not measured in things and wealth. If it was how can you justify the happiness of children in third world countries, they still experience Joy and love and laughter without ever having any monitory wealth there wealth comes in a different form. God creates us in all colours, creeds, races, abilities and capabilities we learn from each other differences and see the heart of people its our differences that unite us not our similarities. How boring and colorless the world would be if we all looked the same, earned the same, went after the same things, where is the learning in that. No surprises, no lessons, no heartbreaks, no joys in discovering something new. I like the world just the way it is (alot more peace would be good ) apart from that I see the world and people in it as beautiful all shapes, all sizes, all colours, all denominations. |
