My Fathers Creation | Joni Eareckson Tada's Art Series

On a camping trip with Ken and her parents in the early 1980s, Joni Eareckson Tada noticed as her dad picked up a piece of driftwood and began carving it. Ken snapped a photo of the scene, and it sparked Joni's creativity.
The photo inspired Joni to render a line drawing of the image, titling it, "My Father's Creation" as a testament to the way God carves away the sin in our lives with the "knife" of his Word.
Her reference verse was Hebrews 4:12, "For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

Just watching and listening to Joni has made me a better person and a better servent for God. My next step is learning where to donate to her Wheelchair Ministry! I pray that God softens the pain she has in her body everyday because I can't imagine living in constant pain like she does.

[@JoniandFriendsVideo]

Debbie, thank you so much for your kind words and your prayers for alleviation of Joni's pain! She is certainly strengthened by your prayers!
We have a few ways that you can donate a wheelchair to the ministry. Please visit the website that we've shared here to find out all of the specifics. If you live nearby a local office, you can drop off your wheelchair there or contact one of our Wheelchair Collection Volunteers. You can find the details here: joniandfriends.org/wheels-for-the-world/donate-a-wheelchair/#_drop-off. If you're looking to make a monetary donation, just hit the blue "Donate" button at the top right corner of your screen on our website.
If you have any further questions, please contact our Response team at [e-mail]. God bless you!

I never saw this one! I thank my God for His cleansing power of His Word. Cutting away what is of self, what doesn’t belong there. Then He builds & makes me more like Him.

I often think of Simeon saying to Mary: A sword will go through your own soul also. We like to think of wielding the sword of the Spirit, but forget that He wields that sword into our own souls to penetrate and divide between darkness and light in us.

[@aienamukanova6930]

Oh, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this with us. The message and your beautiful artwork. You must get your talents from both Father's. Have a wonderful weekend.😊

[@EdwardPrah]

Glory be to God! That is so beautiful. When I get my own house, I would love to purchase this and your other works. Thanks Joni!

[@johndoe-fd4ev]

I admire your trust in God, and the good that you aspire towards. Currently, many Palestinians have been disabled due to the satanic attacks on them. Even Palestinian Christians haven't been spared. I think you should use your platform to support them in some way.

[@ann8831]

This is so beautiful and so epicts our Heavenly Father's handiwork as He prunes and forms us more and more into the likeness of His Son. Thank you so much Joni for the beauty of your work and your testimoney, it is all such precious treasure. Xx
