More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
God is more concerned with conforming me to the likeness of His Son than leaving me in my comfort zones. God is more interested in inward qualities than outward circumstances - things like refining my faith, humbling my heart, cleaning up my thought life and strengthening my character.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My wheelchair was the key to seeing all this happen—especially since God’s power always shows up best in weakness. So here I sit … glad that I have not been healed on the outside, but glad that I have been healed on the inside. Healed from my own self-centered wants and wishes.
Joni Eareckson Tada
We dare not think that God is absent or daydreaming. The do nothing God...He's not tucked away in some far corner of the universe, uncaring, unfeeling, unthinking, uninvolved. Count on it, God intrudes in glorious and myriad ways.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.
Joni Eareckson Tada

My weakness, that is, my quadriplegia, is my greatest asset because it forces me into the arms of Christ every single morning when I get up.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.
Joni Eareckson Tada

Joni Eareckson Tada
Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Americans are nervous Americans are restless and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I have an interesting perspective on depending on others. I think it gives people a chance to serve. And I'm not so much big on independence, as I am on interdependence. I'm not talking about co-dependency, I'm talking about giving people the opportunity to practicing love with its sleeves rolled up.
Joni Eareckson Tada
When we honestly ask God the 'why' question, He doesn't give us answers as much as He gives us Himself.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
Joni Eareckson Tada
AS a matter of fact, God isn't asking you to be thankful. He's asking you to give thanks. There's a big difference. One response involves emotions, the other your choices, your decisions about a situation, your intent, your 'step of faith.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Like art, like music, like so many other disciplines, prayer can only be appreciated when you actually spend time in it. Spending time with the Master will elevate your thinking. The more you pray, the more will be revealed. You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God turns on its head one form of evil - suffering - in order to defeat another form of evil - that is, our transgressions. It happened at the cross, and it occurs in the lives of followers of Christ every day.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
