"God permits what He hates, to accomplish what He loves." What a great description of the reason why the good news, is good news, for rebellious, wrath deserving sinners, who turn from rebellion, to receiving & trusting Jesus.

I love Joni. God used her in our family’s life during one of the most difficult period of our lives, when my mom had cancer and died when we siblings were in our late teens and early twenties, AND we were all believers at that time (few months after becoming followers of Christ from being Buddhists since young). A Christian nurse gave us her music tape (pre-CD period) and we listened to it over and over again at the hospital. Her songs and story faith story really encouraged us to keep trusting Christ in the midst of our family’s ordeal and eventually the death of our mom just a few months later. Joni came to the Philippines that year for a music tour and I was privileged to watch her. After the show I went to the front and gave her assistant a Letter I’ve written her to Joni to tell her how her life and music has helped us). A few months later I was surprised to received a personal reply from her. That was almost 40 years ago. And I am glad to see her still faithfully following our savior and still serving the body of Christ through her life, message and songs. Thank you Joni.

Joni has been an inspiration to me for a long time. I suffer from chronic illness and chronic pain. I have for over 30 years. It is not easy and some days my pain and limitations have me crying out to the Lord for an end to it. When I was first dx'd I asked God, "Why me?!!" I had a off and on relationship with Jesus then. I went into a depression and almost gave up. But through the years my illness and pain have caused me to draw closer and closer to Him. My relationship with Him now is so joyful and it's because of my health issues that this is so. I wouldn't trade that for perfect health and no pain. I actually thank Him now for my infirmities. Just as Paul said, His strength is made perfect in my weakness. Joni has helped me realize this. I can't wait for my glorified body, but I really can't wait for Joni to receive hers. Bless you both ❤

I am the same age as Joni. I met the Lord when I was 18 and so I've been a Christian for 56 years. For me I've been in horrible spiritual, emotional, mental pain because of some sin in my life. The last time I made a decision on my feelings instead of God's Word, which is the sin in my life, the consequences from God have been so horrible. I prayed though at the start of this that God would make me a woman after His own Heart and now I am reading the Bible through. It has been good but I hate what I'm going through. I am glad that nothing can pluck me our of His hands and nothing can separate me from His Love, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come. Nothing in all creation can separate me from His Love. Thank you Joni for what you shared. A different kind of suffering.

Yes I spent many years in depression. I married at 23years old and I felt I had met my soul mate unfortunately after 2years married I realised I married a selfish narcissist..I suffered abuse sexual physical and mentally. I put up with it for 45years in a totally loveless marriage had 5 beautiful children my 1st were twins. I totally agree with this lady God permits what he hated to achieve where he wants you to be. I have come closer to God and I have had encounters with him . He has saved my life in three different times. I am so indebted to God. I was told many years ago I can not promise you happiness in this world but in the next. Yes giving thanks to God is very important.

In 1977/78 Joni came to the high school that I attended. Prior to her visit there was a missionary that had came to preach. He was a hell fire and brimstone style preacher. ....get right with God or receive His rath. I wanted no part of that type of god. Joni came shortly after that , probably the next week. She shared her story and drew a beautiful sketch of Jesus holding her pencil in her mouth. Joni shared the love of Christ. I wanted that God. After that chapel service I sought out a coach/ teacher. He used my Bible and led me to salvation through faith in Jesus. Because A very young Joni Erickson was willing to get up past her suffering and share , a very young freshman in high school received salvation. Thank you Joni for your service to the Lord.

Talk about humbling a person. After hearing Joni, I’m grateful for my sufferings and welcome it all with God’s love. My husband was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer a year ago, my 85 year old mother who lives with us was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago, I’m trying to run an environmental business, I pick up my 80 year old stepfather from his apartment every morning and take him to work with me. He works part time for us. I help my younger brother from time to time with groceries. I had to block my younger sister from my phone. She suffers mentally and emotionally and she has been physically abusive toward her father (my stepfather) with whom she depends on financially. They live together. She’s 50, never been married and had a master’s degree, but doesn’t use it. She’s addicted to Xanax. I can’t handle her abusive psychotic behavior. My husband has only 10 maybe 12 months to live. We don’t know. Suffering isn’t for nothing. Thank you for your podcast Allisa. Thank you Joni for your bravery and leadership. ❤❤

Dear Sweetest Joni! I've been gleaning the love of Jesus from your testimony for over 50 years! I know it's natural to your spirit to be humble; but know that you never need to apologize for the beautiful truth that you share! I thank the Lord for your beautiful light! I will be keeping you in prayer for your pain you are suffering thru! You are so genuinely loved!!!
