More quotes by 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
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
God permits what He hates in order to accomplish something that He loves.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God points to the peaceful attitude of suffering people to teach others about Himself.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering is arguably God's choicest tool in shaping the character of Christ in us.
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
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
AS a matter of fact, God isn't asking you to be thankful. He's asking you to give thanks. There's a big difference. One response involves emotions, the other your choices, your decisions about a situation, your intent, your 'step of faith.
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
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
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
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
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My wheelchair was the key to seeing all this happen—especially since God’s power always shows up best in weakness. So here I sit … glad that I have not been healed on the outside, but glad that I have been healed on the inside. Healed from my own self-centered wants and wishes.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
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
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
...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.
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.
