I recollect very well what my mother revealed to me others were advising her—that no good thing could actually originate from me, that it was not justified, despite any potential benefits to carry me to the school only for me to stay there and tune in. I became ill when I was 18 months old. The specialists advised my folks to leave me at the emergency clinic since I could be nothing. Be that as it may, my folks were courageous and they didn't do it. For that, I will consistently be thankful to them!
At school there were some who said I could be nothing. I particularly recall one kid from grade school who giggled at the manner in which I looked and strolled, and furthermore about my wheelchair. As a result of him I had days when I would not like to go to class. Despite the fact that I didn't know to whom, I would supplicate that our vehicle would stall so my mother couldn't carry me to class. Not frequently, yet some of the time my supplications were replied! Those were upbeat days, since I didn't have to hear the prodding. I jumped at the chance to learn, however it was difficult to hear others giggling at me, despite the fact that I told my folks (and myself) that I was solid and the snickering didn't make a difference. In any case, it did make a difference. The inclination that I was nothing just kept on developing.
After grade school we moved to Riga. I moved on from secondary school and went to college. Furthermore, I was a decent understudy. That was the manner in which my folks and I could to demonstrate to the world that I resembled every other person—I could be in a wheelchair and still examination effectively. Yet, the inclination that I could be nothing didn't disappear. One reason why I was considering was on the grounds that I needed to stifle this inclination and demonstrate to the world that I could do it.
During my first year at the college, I met a person who began asking me various inquiries about the significance of life and my convictions. By then I didn't know about what I had faith in, and I was not even sure I trusted myself. At that point he enlightened me concerning Christ and carried me to chapel. The minister discussed God, who acknowledges me unequivocally. It contacted my heart profoundly. I comprehended that God adored me for the individual I was, that He passed on account of my wrongdoings and took care of the punishment in my place not on the grounds that I had accomplished anything, however basically on the grounds that I was His kid and valuable in His eyes the manner in which I was. It is written in the Bible in Psalm 139: 13 – 14, "For you made my deepest being; you weave me together in my mom's belly… " and in John 3:16, "For God so cherished the world that he gave his unrivaled Son, that whoever has confidence in him will not die however have unceasing life." I cried from bliss! At last, someone acknowledged me as I was and I didn't need to demonstrate anything to Him!
Outwardly nothing huge changed. I kept on contemplating. Yet, changes occurred within me and in my disposition. I began to make an incredible most, studies and myself more. Afterward, I engaged in a Christian understudy bunch called „Agape Students". There my excursion from "you will be nothing" to "you as of now are somebody – dear and important" began. I am still on this excursion. Consistently I have to decide to accept and live with the mindfulness that I am valuable to God, not with the sentiment of "you will be nothing." But now I know reality and I realize the correct decision despite the fact that I have to help myself to remember it. Obviously there are days when all that feels like the past times, when it was difficult to live. In any case, presently I realize how to battle these sentiments. I am not all that frail and defenseless any longer, since I have the One who invigorates me. A security and certainty that I never knew has come into my life.
