Joni Eareckson Tada Giving Quotations

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!

When we hurt, God doesn't always give us lots of words; he gives us the Word; the Word made flesh who is intimately acquainted with our grief and suffering. That's what helps the most.

God doesn't just give us grace; He gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.

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.

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.

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.

The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.

When we honestly ask God the 'why' question, He doesn't give us answers as much as He gives us Himself.
