More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
God wrote a book on suffering, and its name is Jesus.
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
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
Joni Eareckson Tada
One of the most wonderful things about knowing God is that there’s always so much more to know, so much more to discover. Just when we least expect it, He intrudes into our neat and tidy notions about who He is and how He works.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.
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
Only God is capable of telling us what our rights and needs are. You have to surrender that right to Him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
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 Bible isn't quick to give answers it mainly gives the Answer.
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
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
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
Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
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.
