“God measures our entire existence by only two things: how we love Him and how we love people. If you get this right, you can get a million other things wrong.”
― Jen Hatmaker, For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

“nothing hurts worse or steals more joy than broken relationships. We can heal and hurt each other, and we do.”
― Jen Hatmaker, For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

“First, I hope you see them. This is harder than it sounds; you have to learn to see hurt people, because they figure out how to act invisible. Kindness needs recipients. The whole world is filled with lonely and left-out and humiliated and sad kids, and seeing them is the first step. Because they are just as precious as you. If you can learn this during the Family Years, it will change your life, because you’ll develop eyes for pain, which is exactly how Jesus walked around on this earth. If your mercy radar is strong now, God can do anything with you later.”
― Jen Hatmaker, For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

“If anyone has made you feel invisible or less-than, write a new narrative on your heart.”
― Jen Hatmaker, For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards
