The first time I ever heard Nick speak about his relationship with Christ, I was moved to tears by his humility, and he changed my way of thinking.
I was always angry and stressed because I took care of my parents when they were in their elder years, with no help from my siblings. My Mom was blind for nine of those years which caused a lot more stress and anger in me, that her going blind was so unfair to such a beautiful, caring soul. In her younger years she helped anybody, and gave out of her many talents and loving heart. I was angry with God, that she had been allowed to go blind from optic nerve atrophy, but I stayed strong in taking care of her and her daily needs.
After watching Nick tell his testimony, I was so humbled and ashamed that I had been angry with our loving, merciful Father. I learned that there is a reason for everything, of which some things we don’t understand why these challenges happen to people who love God with all their heart.
A passage from God’s word comes to my mind, Proverbs 3 verses 5 to 6, Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Nick learned to trust in the Lord with all his heart, and through my humility I learned to trust Him too.
