Don’t Settle

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and when I was on my feet back in high school, I wanted to try out for my field hockey team. So, every day after school, I’d run home to get in shape. Now, there were two routes I could choose, one that was easy along Gwynn Oak Drive, and the other, a dirt path up a steep hill. Oh, my legs would burn on that hill. So on most afternoons I took the easy route. I was serious about working out, but, uh, not that serious. And, you know, it can be the same with my spiritual life. Too many times I’m satisfied with just a little repentance … just a little charity … just a little holiness. I say I want to be serious about growing in Christ, but the truth is, I don’t choose the steep and rugged path. And I think that’s why God often chooses it for me! So take it from me, the one whose life in this wheelchair is one, long spiritual climb. Don’t settle for just a little bit of the Spirit. Get training on that steep hill.
