Whatever your background, God will use it for his glory.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and every year I travel across the country to various Christian colleges and universities. One time I was giving a message at Wheaton College. Afterward, I received a letter from a Jewish graduate student at Wheaton. She wrote, “Joni, when you spoke, I sat down next to a woman with a disability—she seemed a little hardened. When it was [all] over, she told me, ‘I am Jewish.’ And with that, I began to cry. You see, the town of Wheaton has very few Jewish families; in fact, I am only one of three Jewish students on a campus of 3,000. And can you believe it? God led me—a Jewish believer with the experience of having had a dad who was a quadriplegic—to sit right next to that disabled Jewish woman on a Christian campus of all places.” Oh, friend listening, God used this woman’s background for his glory, and you know what? He will do the same for you.
