All life, no matter how difficult, is a merciful gift from God.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and there are so many Christians who have problems comparing themselves with others who seem to have it better. They aren’t happy with their lot in life and they feel restless. They think that life should be better. But you know what? The bigger lie is thinking that they deserve better. Look, if we deserve anything, it’s hell, so how can we complain? So, please, would you, drop any sense of entitlement and do not interpret God’s will as a personal attack on you. No; all life, no matter how difficult, is a merciful gift. It’s all about mercy. God has mercifully given us all things, even Jesus and his gift of eternal life. So, join the lady in the wheelchair who has learned to quietly submit to a hard lot in life. Because believe me, trusting Jesus Christ is the pathway to real, deep contentment.
