Joni Eareckson Tada Shares Her Heart on Chronic Pain
Welcome to this installment of Joni Eareckson Tada’s “Heart of the Founder” series where Joni shares a surprising truth: After more than 57 living with quadriplegia, paralysis is not the most difficult part of her life. No, what troubles Joni more than her visible disability is the chronic pain that often feels crushing. It robs her of sleep and sometimes takes her breath away. But over the years, she’s has learned to invite Jesus into her pain, and he has met her every time, speaking words of life over her, reminding her of promises from the Bible. Joni offers encouragement and wisdom to all of us who suffer in some ongoing, unrelenting way. Because she knows very well that, come what may, you can draw near to Jesus and find comfort, not only to endure but to find peace and joy in the midst of pain.
