As explained by Nick, the
title “Limitless” refers to God’s limitless love and power. This is a powerful
devotional because it is a collection of his personal testimonies of his faith walk
with God despite the challenges of having no arms and legs.
The struggle he has faced
would resonate with readers of his books. For example, this is his take on unanswered
prayer: “I prayed to God that I would
wake up with arms and legs. Those prayers were not answered. I grew angry and
then depressed. Thoughts of suicide drove me to make an attempt on my own life,
but I stopped short when I realized my death would burden my loved ones with
guilt and grief. Over time, I came to understand that God has not brought me
into the world without limbs to punish me. Instead, He had a plan for me, an
incredible plan to serve Him by inspiring and leading others to lives of
Christian faith.”
There are 50 chapters in this
163 pages devotional and I think it would be really useful to read 1 chapter
several times for a week before moving on to the next chapter. Through repetition
and constant renewal of our mind based on the same chapter over a week, I think
readers could potentially assimilate the truth and wisdom of God’s Word
concerning, inter alia, our faith in Him, and receive a greater insight / revelation
of God as God in His limitless love and power.
At the end of each chapter
there is a useful recapitulation which summarizes the lessons learnt and comes forth
as apples of gold in setting of silver. Consider chapter 3, for example, where
Nick wrote: “Whatever circumstances you face, God will use you for His
purposes. It may be years before you understand what that purpose might be. In
some cases, you may never know the full extent of His plans or why He allows
some things to happen to you. That’s why it is necessary to put your faith in
action by knowing God is with you and by knowing that even though bad things
may happen, they do not change the fact that He loves you.”
This devotional is a great
help for us to overcome personal limitations by deepening our faith in and walk
with our limitless God. After reading it, you may, well, wanna bless someone
else with a copy of “Limitless”. Happy reading!
