Miracle of God

"I keep a pair of shoes in my closet because I believe in miracles”, said Nick Vujicic, a man born with no limbs. Nick is stronger than most people on earth. His faith is immeasurable, his will unbreakable. He is a great son, a caring husband and a good father.
Born on December 4, 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, Nick Vujicic was diagnosed with Tetra-Amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. Nick’s parents, Dushka Vujicic and Boris Vujicic, were in a shock when he was born. Their only concern was whether their son would ever be able to live a normal life. But little did they know that their baby boy would become a source of inspiration and guidance for many. Nick is also blessed with two younger siblings, Michelle and Aaron, who have supported him at every point in his life.
Nick’s childhood was filled with depression and anger. His parents did their best to keep their son in a mainstream school and they tried to give him every opportunity so that he can live his life to the fullest. But no one actually knew what pain Nick was going through. It was not easy for him to digest his parents' well-meaning words, “Everything is going to be ok”. Every Sunday Nick would go to the church and ask God, "Why did you make me like this?”, “What is your purpose?" By age 8, Nick was convinced that he had no future. At the age of 10, he tried a couple of suicide attempts by trying to drown himself in the bathtub. But soon he realized that he did not want to leave his family with a burden of guilt. So he started searching for the purpose.
One day, it all finally came through for Nick when he was reading in the Holy Bible - John, Chapter 9 where Jesus said of a blind man, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned that he is born this way. This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” After reading it Nick's purpose became clear. He felt a large amount of tangible faith and peace that someone understands his pain. He thanked God for giving him life and told him that he believed in Him. He put his trust in Almighty who, according to Nick, knows what He is doing.
Nick was encouraged by a janitor at his high school to speak about his faith and taming tribulation. For over two years Nick spoke to smaller group of people. Then he was given opportunity to face 300 school students at once. Nick was nervous as he was facing this big crowd for the first time. But, within the first three minute of his talk almost everybody was bursting through their eyes. A girl was sobbing pretty hard, she raised her hand, apologized for interrupting and asked if she come and hug him? The girl hugged him in front of everyone and said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you. No one has ever told me that they loved me and that I am beautiful the way I am”. Her gratitude inspired Nick to aspire others.
Today Nick is a successful man. He is an Evangelist, a preacher, a motivational speaker and the director of his own non-profit organization Life without Limbs. He once said, “My pain is real but my victory is real too”. He truly is a miracle of god.
"I keep a pair of shoes in my closet because I believe in miracles, but there is no greater miracle than seeing someone come to God. So pray for faith, and God will help you one day at a time”, said Nick Vujicic, the man who knows what life really is.
