With Jesus Impossibilities become Possible!
Living in Australia, he was taunted constantly by bullies because of his Tetra-amelia syndrome, which left him without arms and legs.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Vujicic suffered from humiliation almost by the hour, with young boys picking him up against his will around eight to nine times a day.
“By the time I was 10 years old, I concluded there was no hope,” he told a crowd of 2,900 students during his recent visit to Orlando’s Boone High School. “I would never have a job. I would never be married.” Thankfully, Vujicic found salvation in Jesus Christ. He learned to develop an optimistic attitude, and he turned his life around. “Sometimes you fall down,” he said. “But you don’t know what you can achieve until you try.”
He asked the students if any of them feel like they “have no hope in your life,” and surprisingly, around 150 fists shot up in the air.
For those also suffering from bullying, Vujicic encouraged them not to give up hope because there will always be people who can offer help and care. “I want you to know if you are going through something, talk to a guidance counselor. Talk to a teacher… Tell a parent… Tell somebody,”Tell Jesus, he said. He also appealed to the bullies to be more understanding of the plights faced by those they torment.
“I want them to understand the impact that their words, deeds and actions have on others,” said Vujicic. “I don’t think anybody gets it until it happens to them. The suicide rate is 4,300 students a year in this country — and 400 of those are in Florida. Forty percent of the kids who have attempted suicide say it’s because of bullying at school.”
Feel like there is no hope? Are you being bullied? You don’t have to suffer alone, Jesus Christ cares and wants to help you! Do you want or need His help? If so, Invite Him in your life so that He help you like He helped Nick to be able to turn his life around. Say this prayer, “Dear Jesus, I invite you in my life to become my personal Lord and Savior. Come into my life and my circumstances and take control. Give me hope where I am hopeless, help me become a happy person full of joy and God’s love where I am sad and discouraged. Control and change the bullies that are trying to torment me, my life and my peace, I humbly ask and pray, I do not want to fall prey to the demons of discouragement and wallow in self pity, Help me Dear Jesus, I humbly ask and pray! Amen!
