"Life without limbs" is an amazing true to life story of one who is physically challenged, Nick Vujivic. It is one of the most encouraging life story that I have ever seen.
All of us have our own individual "disabilities." And all of us want to think that our own "disability/ies" are beyond compare and that no one can understand our discouragement, our own frustration, our own self-pity, our own tantrums perhaps even to the degree that we blame God or that we feel that God has forgotten us or hate us.
Nick Vujivic, I am sure can definitely say the same things about his own disability. Yet look at his countenance. He is every bit of composure, peace and confidence. In fact, he does not blame God instead He gives Him praise and thanks. And as a result, by God's abiding love and grace, He has given Nick the strength and courage to brave his disability and that today, he lives an abunant life that most of us who do not have such degree of disability can even dream to have. And not only that he lives and abundant and joyful life, he lives a purposeful and meaningful life not only here on earth but also with reference to his life in all eternity. It is a matter of perspective truly. It is the kind of perspective that Nick Vujivic is banking on that is making the difference. In his chosen perspective, he factored God in it. And that is the decided the difference. Thus, as a direct consequence, he lives for God and others. He had decided a long time ago to fill his life with the things of God and not self-pity nor self-indulgence, nor self-comfort. And by doing such, he is unerringly very well on his way to the kingdom of God where there will no longer be "disabilities", no more hurt, no more tears, no more difficulties. The bible says that the normal life span of man today is 70 years but on account of good health, 80 years (Psalm 90:10). How old are you today?..50? (then you have only 20 years left). Nick by his decided perspective, delibertely set aside in his imaginings and desires of temporary happiness on earth, the temporary comfort on earth (yet those are the bonuses that God afforded him). He turned to God and live for HIm thus secured well and good his eternal destiny. He had chosen the best part. For there is no real justification for 70 to 80 years of temporary happiness and physical comfort on this earth at the sacrifice of ending up in hell versus ending in heaven to live for all eternity with Jesus Christ. How long is eternity? I say these for there are only two choices in this world. Live for God regardless of "disabilities" thus serve Him (and let Him by His grace lift you up) or live for your self, capitalizing on your disabilities as your justification to desire more of what the world can give you for your self indulgence which untimately mean serving Satan which is the other choice. Which perspective would you choose? Certainly, your life and disability/ies can't be so much more down than Nick's. Watch and listen to Nick Vujivic and be inspried that maybe, you'd choose the perspective that he had chosen. And if there is anything I can do to help, please make your thoughts known via the comments section of my channel and by God's grace, I shall endevour to serve you as best as I can. God bless you (GBU). Disclaimer: The video is not actually mine origianlly. I borrowed it from one of our YouTube posters.

@RohitKapali Sufferings on this earth can never be compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us in time (Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."
