This story is about faith and a heart that is full of light, warmth and love. Nick Vujicic and a child who was also born without limbs, but believes that everything in this life is possible with God.
An adult man and a small child are sitting on a couch. A soft light is shining on them, both are smiling and have tenderness frozen on their faces. The two were born at different times, but the two have no arms and legs. In return, God has given them strength of spirit, tremendous faith, and an all-encompassing love. All this gives them the strength to break down the barriers that meet in their path.
Nick was born in 1982 in Australia. He was immediately diagnosed by doctors with tetraamelia syndrome. This is a rare genetic disorder, due to which a person is missing limbs. The boy’s parents were Christians, but still experienced shock after his birth. Despite this, they did not abandon their son, on the contrary, they made every effort to ensure that the boy got everything that other children get from life: education, career, love and, most importantly, faith in himself.
Yes, as a child Nick experienced misunderstanding from others and ridicule towards himself. At school he was teased by his classmates, and when the guy was 10 years old, he wanted to leave this world, but in time he realised that his life is full of meaning, it is he who can help other people.
Nowadays, not a lazy person has heard of Nick Vujicic. He is one of the best speakers on motivation. Nick has travelled to more than 70 countries around the world, where he spoke to people about his life, faith, love and how to overcome life’s challenges along the way. For millions of people from around the world, Nick’s phrase ‘No Limbs and No Boundaries’ has become a motto of sorts that they adhere to.
God has blessed Nick with a family. He has a beautiful wife who has borne her spouse four beautiful children. Nick is engaged in sports, inspires young people to new achievements and runs a charitable foundation. In 2012, a film was made with Nick in the main roles called ‘Butterfly Circus’, where he showed the world his inner strength.
Pictured alongside Nick is a little boy who was born just like Vujicic. The little boy symbolises not tragedy, but faith and hope. In those little eyes there is not an ounce of fear, only trust and curiosity. Photos like this are meant to help people change their perception of the world around them. Does the photo say that? ‘Life is very precious, no matter what direction you look in.’ The baby proves that it is possible to be born not a victim, but a real fighter.
Nick Vujcic is sure that God sent him to this world to show people how great the love of the Heavenly Father is. The man brings light where there is darkness, embraces people not with his hands, but with his heart and soul.
Recently, more and more children are born with certain peculiarities. For many parents it comes as a shock, but looking at Nick, they can gain faith that a child with a diagnosis can live a full life and will have a bright future.
Unfortunately, modern society increasingly values and pays attention to the outer shell, without giving the opportunity to consider the inner world of a person. Nick’s performances are aimed at showing the opposite. Each performance is an experience, tears from those in attendance, applause and laughter.
‘You don’t control the body at birth, but you are able to choose what your soul will be, what it will be filled with.’
Nick and Kanae’s family is an example of trust and great love. Her spouse confessed that she immediately saw strength and light in her future spouse. This is at the heart of their family, and the children are growing up in an atmosphere of respect and support.
We wish everyone to find their ‘why’ to be happy.
