More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering is arguably God's choicest tool in shaping the character of Christ in us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight they just don't know where to look.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The best we can hope for in this life is a knothole peek at the shining realities ahead. Yet a glimpse is enough. It's enough to convince our hearts that whatever sufferings and sorrow currently assail us aren't worthy of comparison to that which waits over the horizon.
Joni Eareckson Tada
If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.
Joni Eareckson Tada
True, God hates Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, mental illness, autism, and the rest (these conditions are all symptoms of the Fall). Yet he permits these things to accomplish something far more precious in our lives: patience, endurance, compassion for others who hurt, and refined faith and trust in God, to name a few.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Americans are nervous Americans are restless and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
Joni Eareckson Tada
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
Joni Eareckson Tada
A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
Joni Eareckson Tada
When we hurt, God doesn't always give us lots of words he gives us the Word the Word made flesh who is intimately acquainted with our grief and suffering. That's what helps the most.
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
Thats what I love about serving God. In His eyes, there are no little people...because there are no big people. We are all on the same playing field
Joni Eareckson Tada
If churches around the world would grasp the revolutionary truth that Christ's transforming power always comes through sacrifice and weakness, it would dramatically alter the landscape of the global church.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I deal daily with chronic pain and, at times, my pain feels like a lemon that God squeezes, revealing my sour attitude, peevish spirit, and tendency to complain or grumble. Did not God use my pain to expose my sin, I might - like many of us - not be aware of the sin of which I'm capable.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
You better be very convinced, very sure, before you pull your plug or someone else's plug, that you know what's on the other side of the gravestone.
Joni Eareckson Tada
