I know for certain that God does not make mistakes, but he does make miracles. I am one. You are, too.
Nick VujicicRead
One thing I gained in my life is just the need for more Jesus in my life. You never come to a place in your walk with Jesus where you feel like you've had enough. That's a dangerous feeling to have.
Interpretation
The quote emphasizes the importance of an ongoing relationship with Jesus, suggesting that spiritual growth is a continual process.
Nick Vujicic expresses the idea that one can never have too much of Jesus in their life. He implies that a feeling of being satisfied with one's spiritual journey can lead to complacency, and that active and ongoing engagement in one's faith is essential for personal growth and fulfillment.
In practice
In a sermon on faith, I would quote this to emphasize our need for continuous spiritual connection.
I know for certain that God does not make mistakes, but he does make miracles. I am one. You are, too.
Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.
The biggest temptation I believe is to feel comfortable, to feel like you've worked through all of that here on Earth, and are satisfied with this life.
I love my life, because I’ve seen my purpose.
The greatest news that I could ever say is that Jesus is Lord and Savior of my life. He is my friend. He is with me wherever I go. I'm so delighted to continue to grow in my relationship to Jesus.
At my funeral, if one said, 'Nick was a generous person,' trust me I won't be doing cartwheels in my coffin. Recognition from people is never and never will be a goal. Some people strive for that respect or honor. Living a life to just reach for the position and status is vanity and sin.
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him.
It is for us to do those things which the Lord requires at our hands, and leave the result with him.
The truth is that the Spirit of the living God is guaranteed to ask you to go somewhere or do something you wouldn't normally want or choose to do. The Spirit will lead you into the way of the cross, as He led Jesus to the cross, and that is definitely not a safe or pretty or comfortable place to be. The Holy Spirit of God will mold you into the person you were made to be.
And although I see few results, future missionaries will see conversions following every sermon. May they not forget the pioneers who worked in the thick gloom with few rays to cheer, except such as flow from faith in the precious promises of God's Word.
Have faith. The Lord can magnify the words you speak and make them mighty. God doesn’t ask you to convert but rather to open your mouths.
