Listen in as Joni tells a story about her friend Ionila from Romania. She went from experiencing hardship in an orphanage to feeling like God’s princess on a throne. God can lift you too from a lowly seat to one of royalty.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada with a story from Romania. It was there that we met young Ionila. As a child who lives in an orphanage, Ionila grew up with few resources, not to mention that she had never owned a wheelchair. Well, all that changed when our Wheels for the World team fitted Ionila into her first, very own wheelchair. Admiring her new wheels, Ionila exclaimed, “I feel like God’s princess on a throne.” And she was right, after all 1 Samuel says God raises the poor and needy to seat them with princes, placing them in seats of honor. And he did that for Ionila, and he does it for you. Sure, you may not need a wheelchair, but how many times has the Lord raised you from the ashes of worry, or from the pits of despair? Revelation 1 says he’s made us kings and priests to God. So, rejoice! And as you do, visit joniandfriends.org to learn more about Wheels for the World.
