I was privileged enough to hear Nick Vujicic speak last night. Nick is an amazing man from Australia. Twenty four years ago he was born without any arms or legs and now he travels the world speaking at churches and conferences, etc. spreading the word of Christ. He is probably the best speaker I have heard in a long time, if not ever.

A lot of times when you hear people speak who are faced with terrible circumstances the message is the same. I don’t know if it’s meant be the same, but most of the time you leave feeling a bit guilty, a “man, I’ve never going to complain again” guilty. Nick is different. His main message last night was how happy he was to be in the situation he is in. Not because he likes not having any arms or legs, but because he has been able to do so much to spread the word of God. He knows it is all for a purpose.

He said a lot of things last night that were pretty powerful, but my favorite was this: “There is no joy in the circumstance, but there is joy in the purpose of that circumstance.”

Here’s a video:

There are other videos of him speaking, etc on You Tube.
