The Law of Overcompensation
Glenn Cunningham survived severe burns on his legs as a young boy. He was told by doctors that he would never be able to walk again, but to everyone's surprise he not only began to walk, he decided to run. He saw a trophy in a store window that was given to those that won in track and field and it was at that moment a dream come into the heart of this young boy. The doctors told him that it was a miracle that he could even walk, but running, that was out of the question.
Glenn began to run and run, and during his career he set three World records. He set one for the 800 meter and two for the mile. He came in second for the 1500 meter in Berlin Germany in 1936. His nickname was the Kansas Ironman.
Here is the real question, how fast could Glenn Cunningham have been able to run if the accident had never happened? The answer might surprise you. I believe it would not have been near as fast. When we face opposition but a dream remains in our hearts, it causes the Law of Overcompensation to kick in. It is from deep within us that God pulls out of us an amazing ability and will to achieve. Don't let problems or set backs hold you back but allow them to push you forward.
