If you’re going through hardships today, choose to be the kind of sufferer that honors God.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. I received an email from a woman named Jessica. She is only 25 years old, but for five years Jessica has been living with terrible nasal and breathing problems. She’s constantly battling serious colds and chronic shortness of breath. Jessica said, “Joni, sometimes I wish I could run like I used to; I wish I could cook more, and just do more. But I am learning to be a better sick person.” Did you get that? Jessica chooses what kind of a sick person she’ll be. Will she be a rude person? Will she be a demanding person? Will she complain and grumble about her illness? Well, the Apostle Paul had to make that decision when he was in prison. He chose to be a prisoner that encouraged others. So, if you are going through hardships today, choose to be the kind of sufferer that honors God. Please visit us today at joniandfriends.org.
