Divine grace Quote by Cathleen Falsani

“Some theologians argue that one kind of grace is better than another, and that some people think they're experiencing “divine” grace when it's actually just “common.” To me, that's like bickering about what color God's eyes are. (They're hazel, in case you were wondering.)” quote by Cathleen Falsani — Download Open image
