Joni hopes you can say with her that you’d rather be in the storm with Christ than in calm waters alone.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and perhaps, when you were younger, you saw the Joni movie many years ago. Well, there was one line in that movie that was definitely not scripted. Because I had spoken it time and again before there was even an idea for a movie. What I said was, “I would rather be in this wheelchair knowing Jesus, than on my feet without him.” And that’s so true. The joy, hope and peace that I experience [not in spite of] but because of my paralysis is so much more fulfilling and satisfying than having feet that walk and run. And Romans 11:36 describes it best: “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever.” Friend, all things – even walking or not walking – find their end in Christ.
