This morning I read a beautiful quote by Dannah Gresh: “Your hardest day with Jesus by your side is always better than your best day without Him.”
I immediately remembered Joni Eareckson Tada’s words (spoken at a conference) to a similar effect: “I’d rather be seated in this wheelchair knowing Jesus than be given the chance to walk without Him.”
I think about my best day and how, without Jesus, it wouldn’t compare to the worst day with Him. I find myself comforted, strengthened, and full of hope.
