Of Mess and Moxie: Wrangling Delight Out of This Wild and Glorious Life

by Jen Hatmaker

Someday is right now, in the life you already have.

Your name is not Ruined. It is not Helpless. It is not Victim. It is not Irresponsible.

God created us to triumph; we are made in the image of Jesus, who has overcome the world.

A Christian in tune with God’s whole character neither regards herself as too important or too unworthy to enjoy this life.

We are not just the distributors of God’s abundant mercies but also their recipients.

Isolation concentrates every struggle.

“It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

It is difficult for human beings to accept unearned mercy. It flies in the face of our merit-based system.

People may hate us because of Jesus, but they should never hate Jesus because of us.

If you want to make good friends, be a good friend.
