Nick Vujicic - No arms, no legs, no worries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxOClVJP59MIf you can't get a miracle, become one.
If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If YOU fail, are you going to try again? The human spirit can handle much worse than we realize. It matters HOW you are going to FINISH. Are you going to finish strong?
It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything.
Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling estates worth millions. Why is that? You'll find contentment when your talents and passion are completely engaged, in full force. Recognise instant self-gratification for what it is. Resist the temptation to grab for material objects like the perfect house, the coolest clothes or the hottest car. Then if I just had X, I would be happy syndrome is a mass delusion. When you look for happiness in mere objects, they are never enough. Look around. Look within.
I never met a bitter person who was thankful. Or a thankful person who was bitter.
I encourage you to accept that you may not be able to see a path right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.
In life you have a choice: Bitter or Better? Choose better, forget bitter.
The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over.
We can't, and we should not, compare sufferings. We come together as a family of God, hand in hand. And then together coming and standing upon the promises of God, knowing that no matter who you are, no matter what you're going through, that God knows it, He is with you, He is going to pull you through.
...God's love is so real that He created you to prove it.
I have the choice to be angry at God for what I don't have, or be thankful for what I do have
Life without limbs? Or life without limits?
Some injuries heal more quickly if you keep moving.
Don't put your life on hold so that you can dwell on the unfairness of past hurts.
... for every disability you have, you are blessed with more than enough abilities to overcome your challenges.
If I fail, I try again, and again, and again
... God gave you just one mouth but He gave you two ears, so you should listen twice as much as you speak
... FAITH: ... Full Assurance in the Heart.
Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don't have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else's day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.
You can't even stand without risking to fall.
.. Fear is often described as False Evidence Appearing Real.
Have you ever felt trapped in circumstances, then discovered that the only trap was your own lack of vision, lack of courage, or failure to see that you had better options?
The greater the struggle the more glorious the triumph
Sometimes you may feel like you are just about to realize your goal only to fall short. That is no reason to quit. Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again.
...trade the life of self-pity that I was living, for a life of purpose!
Pain is Pain. Broken is Broken. FEAR is the Biggest Disability of all. And will PARALYZE you More Than Being in a Wheelchair.
Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place. It's the high-anxiety zone, but it's also where you discover who you are.
We easily become trapped in the 'someday' mentality. Someday I'll have all the money I need to enjoy life. Someday I'll be able to spend more time with my family. Someday I'll have time to relax and do what I love doing.
... to keep moving up ... , you have to abandon the security of that ledge and reach for another hold. Letting go of that sense of security.. is the challenge. ... think of yourself as climbing a ladder. To move to the next rung, you must give up your grip and reach for the next one.
Prayers from Nick Vujicic - Limbless Preacher
God, please give me arms and legs. But if you don't give me arms and legs, change my heart, renew my mind because I'm an ambassador of Yourself, O' the Creator and no weapon formed against me shall prosper (is an excellent reason to be encouraged).
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8vLhNGT/Inspirational speaker said he spent eight years asking God, "Why? Why was I born this way? I don't understand how can You say You love me when You allow me to stay in this pain." Nick got the answer to his desperate prayers.
John 9:1-3 spoke to him in a special way. The New Testament portion reads: "As he (Jesus) went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?' 'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.'"
The Life Without Limbs author described his feelings after reading these verses. "I got goosebumps on my skin I don't even have," he told the congregants. "And I had faith because I understood something. You see, all I wanted to know was that God knew what He was doing with me."
By the age of 19, Nick started to fulfil 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.
The desire to have arms and legs has remained, Vujicic admitted. Initially, he thought, "Lord, if you give me arms and legs, I'll go around the world and share your power with the world." He said he still has ups and downs in life. "I am just like you."
Vujicic said he has failed God every single day, but has relies on Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Vujicic recalled he and dozens of his Christian friends once prayed for 90 minutes for his arms and legs in a farm in a jungle in India. They made arms and legs with clay, and prayed it turn into flesh and bone. It didn't happen, but he had peace in his heart as he saw an eagle soaring in the sky throughout those 90 minutes. He said it was as if God was smiling, and was happy he had the faith to pray.
"Please give me arms and legs. But if You don't give me arms and legs, I trust You." This has been Vujicic's prayer. He said his commitment to Jesus is "to want His plan, and not my plan ... even when I don't understand."
You are praying for something, but what if God says "no" to that? he asked. "Is He still God? Yes. Will He waste your pain? No." He quoted Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Vujicic, who has travelled around the world, sharing his story with millions of people, said he's grateful to God for saving him from the two biggest disabilities: sin and death.
He said when he was 10 he wanted to commit suicide, and wanted to see someone like him so that he wouldn't be alone. Five years ago in California, he finally met a baby named Daniel, who too was born without arms and legs ... "exactly like me." "Not getting a miracle, I can be a miracle to Daniel ... an older brother of Daniel his whole life ... encourage him."
Nick said if he truly lived without arms and legs throughout his life "just so I can hug Daniel in heaven, it's all worth it."
"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," he says on his ministry's website. "If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!"
