More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
Joni Eareckson Tada
If churches around the world would grasp the revolutionary truth that Christ's transforming power always comes through sacrifice and weakness, it would dramatically alter the landscape of the global church.

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
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.

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
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
He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.
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
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.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Contentment ... has an internal quietness of heart that gladly submits to God in all circumstances.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.

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
When we honestly ask God the 'why' question, He doesn't give us answers as much as He gives us Himself.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Well, painting is the one thing I do, that is just me. It's me and easels, and the pencils. And as long as I don't drool too much over the canvas, the colors come out pretty good. And it's a chance to express all that I've got inside, that I sometimes keep hidden. And I think that's why I paint big broad, wide open landscapes.
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
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
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
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
Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight they just don't know where to look.
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.
