Joni Eareckson Tada
God always seems bigger to those who need him most. And suffering is the tool he uses to help us need him more.
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
Americans are nervous Americans are restless and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.
Joni Eareckson Tada

God permits what He hates in order to accomplish something that He loves.
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
What an encouragement to realize that God has reserved you and me for a special task in His great work. In His hands we're not only useful, but priceless.
Joni Eareckson Tada
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
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
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The Bible isn't quick to give answers it mainly gives the Answer.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
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
My longings are best met when, in prayer, I simply let my heart beat in time with the Lord's.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering always prompts heart-wrenching questions: if God is good, why would He allow this pain in my life? Is God truly sovereign over accidents and birth anomalies, or does the devil set the world's agenda? How do I counsel people who are despairing of their condition?
Joni Eareckson Tada
Most of the verses written about praise in God’s Word were voiced by people who were faced with crushing heartaches, injustice, treachery, slander, and scores of other difficult situations.
