More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
Contentment ... has an internal quietness of heart that gladly submits to God in all circumstances.
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'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him.
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
...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
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
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
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
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
Suffering is arguably God's choicest tool in shaping the character of Christ in us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.
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
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
God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
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
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
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
He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
