What is grace and how can it change your life? In this installment of Joni Eareckson Tada’s “Heart of the Founder” series, Joni shares how grace has flowed through her life in a transformational way.When Joni broke her neck in a diving accident and became paralyzed at age 17, she discovered grace like never before—as light piercing through the darkness of her despair and sin, bringing joy and healing to her life, and illuminating the path ahead. Now, decades later, Joni can personally attest to the mighty power of God’s grace—not only in her own life but in the kingdom work of Joni and Friends, which brings Gospel hope to people around the world. Joni invites you to lean on God’s grace, no matter what circumstances you face.Sign up to receive Joni’s daily devotional, which will encourage you to depend on God’s grace and take joy in his presence.Learn more about Joni and her story of God’s Amazing Grace in action.Get your copy of Joni’s book, Songs of Suffering, which will guide you through difficult times with the help of Scripture, beautiful hymns, and devotionals filled with grace. KEY QUESTIONS: When have you experienced God’s grace at work in your heart and life?How can you lean on grace today to step into God’s purposes?Who in your life needs a taste of God’s grace (and how can you give it to them)? KEY SCRIPTURES:Hebrews 4:16: “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”Ephesians 2:8–9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
