If you’re confronted with obstacles that feel overwhelming, stay positive and be biblical. Think of all the great and wonderful things that God has done for you, and joy just may overtake you by surprise.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. When challenges come your way, it is hard to stay positive. But it is in those moments I like to think of my friend Robin who has Down syndrome. She has one of the best perspectives around when it comes to facing hard knocks. When Robin comes across challenges, she remembers the good in her life [which is such a biblical thing to do]. And her famous saying is, “Maybe I can’t add or subtract or read big books, but I have friends and I love Jesus.” Psalm 126 declares, “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Robin’s cup overflows with joy because she understands all the good things God has done for her. So today, if you’re confronted with obstacles that feel overwhelming, stay positive friend; be biblical. Think of all the great and wonderful things that God has done for you, and joy just may overtake you by surprise.
