Living Inspiration ………plz.....read ……………

.........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.

..........Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what

kind of life I'd be able to lead. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage

through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school.

.........The law in Australia didn't allow me to be integrated into

a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles

and gave my Mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was

one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.

..........I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else,

but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable

times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference.

It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents,

I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these

challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like

everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to

school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention.I was encouraged by

my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids.

Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God

kept on blessing me with new friends.

.........There were times when I felt depressed and angry because

I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went

to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you.

I understood that love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if

God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something

wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the

only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go,

the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age,

but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to

comfort me and give me strength.

.........Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying ,

self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my

story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they

have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing.

To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let

anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

.........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-one 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!

........."Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face

trials of many kinds."

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.
