Remember, God’s grace can sustain you.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And through the years, Susan has watched the way I’ve handled my wheelchair, my pain, and the cancer I battled. But one time, Susan told me, “Joni, the Bible says that we strengthen one another by the way we handle our trials, but to watch everything you go through doesn’t strengthen my faith; it weakens it! If God’s plan for someone like you involves so much hardship, then what might he do to me?” We Christians forget that God designed our lives to be hard. Acts 14 says that we must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of heaven. So, what makes us strong? Well, in all our weakness, we cast ourselves wholly on Christ. That’s when his strength comes shining through. So don’t be afraid when you see others suffer great hardship; watch and learn how God's grace sustains them: and remember, his grace can and will sustain you.
