زندگي شگفت انگيز الهام بخش
در زندگي به سمت مستقيم و راست پيش برو ... هميشه و در هر راهي.
من نيك ژوويسك هستم . گواه خداوند هستم براي لمس هزاران قلب در دنيا!بدون هيچ دست و پاي
متولد شدم در حالي كه پزشكان هيچ تجربه پزشكي براي اين " نقص مادرزادي " نداشنتد، همانطور
كه تصور مي كنيد با موانع و چالشهاي بسياري روبه رو بوده ام.
" هر زمان با ناملايمات متعدد روبه رو مي شويد ، با مسرت رفتار كنيد "
( آيه اي در انجيل)
در شمارش دردها و سختي هايم آيا جايي براي شادي و مسرت مي ماند ؟زماني كه پدر و مادرم مسيحي
بودندو پدرم كشيش كليسايمان ، آنها اين آيه را خوب مي شناختند . اگر چه ، در يك روز صبح 4 دسامبر
1982 در ملبورن( استراليا) " پروردگارا تو را سپاس" تنها كلماتي بود كه مي توان از آنها شنيد .
اولين فرزند پسري آنها بدون دست و پا متولد شد ! هيچ هشداري كه آمادگي آنها را در برداشته باشد
وجود نداشت .پزشكان از اينكه هيچ پاسخي براي آن نداشتند در حيرت بودند!! هنوز هيچ دليل پزشكي
دال بر چرايي اين اتفاق وجود ندارد و نيك در حال حاضر برادر و خواهري دارد كه مانند هر نوزاد
معمولي ديگري بدنيا آمدند.
تمام عالم مسيحيت از تولد من افسوس مي خوردند و والدينم كه بسيار گيج و مبهوت از من بودند .
هر كسي مي پرسيد " اگر خداوند ، خداي عشق است " ، پس چرا خدا مي بايستي اجازه دهد
چنين اتفاق بدي نه براي هر كس ديگر ، بلكه براي مسيحيان ايثار گر افتد ؟ پدرم تصور
مي كرد من براي ساليان طولاني زنده نخواهم ماند ، ولي آزمايشها نشان مي داد كه من
يك نوزاد كاملاً سالم هستم تنها با نقص عضو دست و پا.
همانطور كه قابل فهم است ، والدين من نگراني عميق و ترس آشكاري داشته اند ، از آن نوع زندگي كه من
به دنبال خواهم داشت .خداوند به آنها استقامت ، دانش، و شجاعت عطا كرده بود ، در سالهاي اول زندگي و
سالهاي بعد وقتي كه آنقدر بزرگ شدم كه بتوانم به مدرسه بروم . قانون استراليا به دليل معلوليت جسماني ،
اجازه رفتن به مدرسه عمومي را نمي داد .خداوند معجزه اي كرد و قدرتي به مادرم تا در برابر آن قانون
مبارزه كند و سرانجام آن را تغيير دهد . من يكي از اولين دانش آموز معلولي بودم كه در آن مدرسه به
تحصيل پرداختم. رفتن به مدسه را دوست داشتم و تمام تلاشم اين بود كه كه مانند هر فرد عادي زندگي كنم ،
ولي اين مربوط به سالهاي اوليه مدرسه بود تا زماني كه به دليل تفاوت فيزيكي با احساس طرد شدگي و غير –
طبيعي بودن مواجه نشده بودم . عادت به آن شرايط بسيار برايم مشكل بود ، ولي با حمايت والدينم ،
شروع به رشد نگرشها و ارزشهايم كردم كه براي روبه رو شدن با موقعيتهاي چالش بردار بسيار مفيد بود.
من بر اين مسئله واقف بودم كه تفاوت دارم وليكن از سوي ديگر من شبيه هر فرد ديگر بودم . بارها اتفاق افتاد
كه من احساس حقارت داشتم به طوري كه نمي توانستم به مدرسه برم ، فقط به اين دليل كه نمي توانستم به
توجه هاي منفي آنها روبه رو شوم .با كمك والدينم تلاش مي كردم آنها را ناديده تصور كنم و بتوانم براي خود
دوستاني بيابم.
به محض اينكه دانش اموزان متوجه مي شدند من هم دقيقاً مثل انها هستم موهبت الهي شامل حالم مي شد و با
آنها دوست مي شدم .
بارها شده كه من احساس افسردگي و عصبانيت داشتم ، چرا كه من نمي توانستم راهي را كه در آن قرار داشتم
تغيير دهم، و يا هر كسي را به خاطر آن سرزنش مي كردم . من به مدرسه يكشنبه ( براي آموزش ) مي رفتم .
آموختم كه خدا ما را بسيار دوست دارد و مراقب ماست . فهميدم كه بچه ها را بسيار دوست دارد . ولي اين را
نفهميدم كه خدا اگر مرا دوست دارد چرا مرا اينگونه آفريد ؟ آيا دليلش ان بود كه از من اشتباهي سر زده است؟
انديشيدم كه بايستي اين گونه باشم زيرا در مدرسه ، من تنها فرد غير طبيعي بودم . سرباري بودم براي همه افرادي كه در كنارشان بودم . سر انجام بايستي مي رفتم اين بهترين كاري بود كه بايد انجام مي دادم . مي خواستم به همه دردهايم و به زندگي ام در سن جواني پايان دهم . اما دوباره شكر گزار والدين و خانواده ام هستم
كه هميشه براي آرامش من بوده اند و به من شجاعت داده اند .
خداوند شرح مصيبت هاي عيسي را در زندگي من نهاد تا ازآن تجربيات براي ارشاد ديگران استفاده كنم براي
آنكه بر مشكلات فائق آيند و همواره شكرگزار خدا باشند .نيروي خداوند الهام بخش زندگي شان باشد و اجازه
ندهند هيچ مسئله اي بر سر برآورده شدن آرزو ها و رؤياهايشان قرار گيرد .
و" همه ما بر اين امر واقفيم كه خداوند بهترين ها را انجام ميدهد براي كساني كه او را دوست دارند "
اين ايه با قلب من صحبت مي كند و مرا به اين نقطه مي رساند كه من مي دانم اتفاق هاي بد در برابر
خوشبختي ، شانس يا توافق هيچ است . من به نهايت آرامش رسيدم، همينكه آگاه شدم از اينكه خداوند
اجازه نخواهد داد ، هيچ چيزي اتفاق افتد در زندگي مان مگر اينكه او هدف خوبي در آن قرار داده باشد
در سن 15 سالگي زندگيم را كاملاً وقف كليسا كردم بعد از اين كه در انجيل خواندم عيسي فرمود:
دليل آنكه فرد نابينايي به دنيا مي آيد آن است كه " خداوند از طريق آنها قدرتش را اشكار مي كند "
من به راستي اعتقاد دارم خداوند به من سلامتي خواهدبخشيد ، چه بسا كه من بتوانم گواه عظيم
او باشم از قدرت بهت انگيز او .
بعد ها بنابر درايتم متوجه شدم كه اگر ما براي خواسته اي به درگاه خداوند دعا كنيم، اگر او بخواهد
اجابت خواهد شد . و اگر او نخواهد كه اجابت شود ، مطمئناً امر بهتري در آن بوده است .مي دانم
شگرفي خدا در اين است كه مرا به كار گيرد فقط در ايت هيأت و نه در شكل ديگر .
در حال حاضر 21 ساله هستم. كارشناس بازرگاني در رشته حسابداري و برنامه ريزي امور مالي .يك
سخنور قابل هستم و اميد آن دارم كه به خارج بروم و داستانم را براي ديگران تعريف كنم . مباحثم را
به سمت تشويق دانش آموزان و جوانان امروزي سوق دهم .همچنين در گروه هاي جمعي سخنراني
مي كنم . من شرح حال مصيبت هاي عيسي هستم براي جوانان . و خودم را براي مشيت الهي و آنچه كه
او مي خواهد و آنچه كه به او منجر مي شود قرار داده ام .
رؤيا ها و اهدافي كه در سر دارم را دنبال مي كنم . مي خواهم بهترين گواه عشق و اميد خداوند باشم.
ويك سخنور الهام بخش در خدمت مسيحيان و غير مسيحيان .
در صدد هستم كه در سن 25 سالگي به استقلال مالي برسم و با سرمايه گذاري هاي جدي به توليد
ماشيني بپردازم كه بتوانم با آن رانندگي كنم . نوشتن چندين كتاب پر فروش از ديگر رؤيا هاي من است و
اميدوارم در پايان امسال اولين نوشته ام را با عنوان " بدون دست ، بدون پا، بدون دلهره "
به اتمام برسانم.
In life, go straight and turn right.. always and in all ways
My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.
"Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."
....To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.
The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing
Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life I'd be able to lead. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school.
The law in Australia didn't allow me to be integrated into a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles and gave my Mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.
I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention. I was encouraged by my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids. Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing me with new friends.
There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. I understood that love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.
Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying, self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.
One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted
"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him."
That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life.
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.
I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-one years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector
I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.
I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries
I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!
Something's never change
But something's do
