More quotes by 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
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
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
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
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
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
Subdue your heart to match your circumstances.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I wished God were like He used to be, a few notches lower. I wanted Him to be lofty enough to help me but not so uncontrollable. I longed for His warm presence, times when He seemed more… safe.
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
The Christian faith is meant to be lived moment by moment. It isn't some broad, general outline--it's a long walk with a real Person. Details count: passing thoughts, small sacrifices, a few encouraging words, little acts of kindness, brief victories over nagging sins.
Joni Eareckson Tada
A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The Bible isn't quick to give answers it mainly gives the Answer.
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
There's a big difference between feeling thankful and giving thanks. One response involves emotions, the other, your will. Trusting God has nothing to do with trustful feelings.
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
...we will stand amazed to see the topside of the tapestry and how God beautifully embroidered each circumstance into a pattern for our good and His glory.
