how much money I give to charity,
or how often I attend church.
Are those things--church, giving, and the Word--important to my relationship with Christ? Most definitely. But those things are not the means to measure my faith.
Rather, my faith is built upon redemption and grace.
I am made in His image. He knew me before I was born, and has a plan for me. He loves me for who I am.
It's not about the things I do or don't do. It's about what He did for me.
About the Edits:
Wow - I'm really off this week!! Obviously, I had to up the exposure on both of my SOOCs - thank goodness for RAW! And here are the details of the specific edits:
On the Bible - I did a tilt and crop, ctrl-j/adjusted to overlay, and placed Kristy's Aging Estate texture/soft light 100%
On the Hands - I warmed up WB, ran CoffeeShop's perfect portrait, using color pop, brighten, urban grit on coins, skin smoother, and vignette

I really like each of your edits - especially that last one.
Gorgeous shots! Love your edits, and LOVE your post. :)
These are really lovely shots and great message, too! Grace, it is all about grace.
Amazing differences, good work...and message :-)
Love this post! Great job!
some how i missed you first time around...absolutely love the message you have on here...it's not about how much we put in the offering plate or how many times we attend church(though the Bible talks about them and how we MUST be obedient in these areas), for those who don't know Jesus as their Personal Lord and Savior can and do those same things..it's all about Who you know and what your FAITH is in!!
OK, so I might just be in a sentimental place but your photos and words today brought sweet tears of praise to my eyes!
AMEN! Love your edits! good to WOW!

It's definitely all about grace.
