Life isn’t supposed to be normal – it’s filled with ups and downs; but troubles are so key in a Christian’s growth. Today, let go of the normal because God wants to do a big change in your life.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And when April broke her neck and was told she would live the rest of her life in a wheelchair, she was desperate. I remember once sitting by her as she wept. Slumped in her wheelchair, April looked at me and through her tears kept saying, “Oh Joni, when am I ever going to be normal again?!” Well, April’s story is so much like ours, isn’t it? We receive a bad medical report, or our marriage turns sour, or there’s an unexpected death in the family, and we cry and wonder when things will ever be normal again. We want to go back; we can’t seem to absorb the fact that things have changed. Well, I have news for April and for you. Life isn’t supposed to be normal. Jesus said in this world you will have trouble. And friend, trouble always brings change. But it’s so key in a Christian’s growth, so today let go of the normal; God wants do a big change in your life.
