More quotes by 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
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
Faint hearts are encouraged when they read about others who, despite amputation, spinal cord injury, or psychiatric disorders have a vibrant trust and confidence in God.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Anyone who takes the Bible seriously agrees that God hates suffering. Jesus spent most of his time relieving it. But when being healed becomes the only goal - 'I'm not letting go until I get what I want' - it's a problem.
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
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
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
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
Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.
Joni Eareckson Tada
He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.
Joni Eareckson Tada
A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
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
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 was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
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
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
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Real satisfaction comes not in understanding God's motives, but in understanding His character, in trusting in His promises, and in leaning on Him and resting in Him as the Sovereign who knows what He is doing and does all things well.
Joni Eareckson Tada
