More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My longings are best met when, in prayer, I simply let my heart beat in time with the Lord's.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.
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
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 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
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
Believers are never told to become one we already are one and are expected to act like it.
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
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay, the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love never thinks in terms of how little, but always in terms of how much. Love gives, love knows, and love lasts.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Only God is capable of telling us what our rights and needs are. You have to surrender that right to Him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Like all good citizens, the elderly and people with disabilities want to eradicate waste and fraud from government, but helping people with special needs meet their basic needs doesn’t fit this description.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Even at the cross, God permitted what he hated - the unjust and agonizing death of his own precious Son - in order to accomplish something he prized above his own Son's cruel death that is, salvation for a world of sinners. So the world's worst murder becomes the world's only salvation.
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
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Christianity isn't all that complicated ... it's Jesus.
