Every life will entail some sort of setback, failure, or disappointment. It can be big or small, physical or emotional, conspicuous or unnoticeable.As you read this, your great tragedy or hardship is likely coming to mind. It might be a physical problem that is bothersome everyday. Or an injustice that has robbed you of something precious. It could be an opportunity that was squandered and left you wondering what might have been. Or, as I've mentioned here recently, a childhood trauma that still has an impact on you.
How true it is that our response is the key to our contentment.
Nick Vujicic is a living illustration for us. Born without arms and legs, Nick exudes a love for life. He does not focus on what he does not have, but what he does have. Watching his videos I see a joyful man. He speaks of his gratitude to God for His love for him, for his salvation and eternal hope, and for other gifts.
You can see more of Nick in this Youtube video.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
