A Can-Do Attitude
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Not long ago, I underwent thirty-five sessions of radiation to kill a reoccurring cancer. It was very hard, and the radiation made me so tired and weary. But through those weeks of rigorous treatment, I smiled and kept up a “We Can Do It!” spirit. I was like Rosie the Riveter, rolling up my sleeves to defeat the enemy! My radiologist noticed it and commented that I must have strong character. He had no idea how weak I felt, and so I told him that the “we” in we-can-do-it is me and Jesus. I lean hard on Jesus and He pours His strength into me. Like Paul says in Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” So, friend, let your hardships remind you of your need for Jesus. Let them drive you deep into the strength of your Savior. Because then and only then can you conquer with a “we can do it” spirit.
