Nick Vujicic on Why God Made Him Limbless
Evangelist Nick Vujicic, who spoke at Saddleback Church
in Calif. on Sunday, was born with neither arms nor legs, and questioned
God for eight years why it was so. The answer changed his life, and
through him that of tens of thousands of others.
For the now 30-year-old Nick, founding president and CEO of the nonprofit organization Life Without Limbs, the most important thing in life was to understand why God made him without arms and legs.
Speaking
at Pastor Rick Warren's church in Lake Forest on Sunday evening, the
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."
Vujicic, who has been living in California
since 2007, was born in Brisbane, Australia. His parents – Pastor Boris
Vujicic and nurse Dushka Vujicic – were not given any medical
explanation or warning about his birth with neither arms nor legs. But
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.'"
