The Story of a Man Named Nick

There is a man I know by the name of Nick. And Nick is a man that as soon as you meet him you come to realize that this is a guy with true joy in his heart and when he smiles you see that his smile is true he truly is a man that is completely happy with everything God has given him and everything that he has in this world. You see Nick is a special guy for his career he travels the world to spread the message of Jesus Christ he goes from university to university to spread the good news this is a man that is truly being the hands and feet of God!!!! Except there is a problem with nick you see it’s not that he is addicted to drugs and it’s not that secretly he has a problem with sexual purity you see Nick was born with a rare medical condition for no apparent reason and it has left him with No fingers and No toes with No wrist and No ankles No forearm and No shin as a matter of fact he has No arms and No legs what so ever … but the thing here is that I’m not trying to get you to look at him and say “Wow I’m lucky I don’t have that maybe I should be thankful for what I have” that’s not it at all what I want you to see here is that A MAN WITH NO ARMS AND NO LEGS IS BEING THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS CHRIST and we people that have nothing wrong with us are doing the complete opposite of that to be honest most of the people that call themselves Christians are “Nothing but extra weight on the back of Jesus weighing him down”  we often come up with EXCUSES for why we can’t do something for the body of Christ well Nick gave me a very good definition of the word EXCUSE he said to me  “ A EXCUSE is a skin of reason stuffed with LIES!”  He also said “If you think I have a disability, the biggest disability is FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) but FAITH (Full Assurance in the Heart) of knowing 3 things 1. Who you are 2. Why you’re here and 4. Where you are going when you are not here if you don’t know 100% the answers to those 3 questions I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE MORE PARALIZED THAN ME YOU ARE MORE DISABLED THAN ME! You see the word Disable means unable to do something but with God all things are possible!”  you know I have a lot of respect for this man and if you ever have the chance to meet him I strongly suggest you make an effort to go hear him his message is powerful! I guess the only I want to say tonight is that with God all things are possible so just because you think you can’t do something doesn’t mean you can’t you Can with God on your side!
I hope you take Nicks story and try to feel encouraged by it God Bless you all!!
MUCH LOVE -LDW
