Your attitude should be the same as Jesus Christ’s.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and we all have a story – some chapters in our lives are long, some are cut far too short; and others are restful interludes between pages of discouragement, danger, or drama. But we only see the meaning of our story when it fits into the context of a bigger, far greater story; that of Jesus Christ himself. For me, the most meaningful chapters of my life were not those easy, breezy, bright days when I was on my feet; no, the most meaningful chapters, the deepest, were when I suffered and when I let that suffering push and drive me into the arms of Christ. Then, I was able to see my little story in the context of a far greater story – and it felt so good to fit into God's plan of redemption. Friend, have this same attitude about your suffering. It’s the perspective of Philippians 2, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” Because he’s got quite the story.
