Joni Eareckson Tada
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
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
God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!
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
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
The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.
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
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
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
Subdue your heart to match your circumstances.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God turns on its head one form of evil - suffering - in order to defeat another form of evil - that is, our transgressions. It happened at the cross, and it occurs in the lives of followers of Christ every day.
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
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
There is nothing that moves a loving father's soul quite like his child's cry.
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
Christianity isn't all that complicated ... it's Jesus.
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
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
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
