An Ocean We're All Sinking In

Sometimes, when we're on this journey called Life, things become a little foggy. I woke up this morning feeling very out of focus, as if even though I was awake, I was in this dream-state, where I could almost stand outside of myself and just register what I was thinking and doing with each step, just like in a dream. I think at times we walk through life like that, not fully in a moment, but just registering what is going without really being part of what is going on. Why do we do that? (It occurs to me that it is because we either refuse to be on the journey we are on, or because we know we're not on the journey we're meant to be on.)
I've become disconnected like that lately, and what it has done is put me in danger of disconnecting from others. And in the space between us and others, a lot of junk can build up. Somehow, what's helping me to hold on is a phrase from the song "How He Loves Us", singing that "if Gods grace is an ocean, we're all sinking". All of us are connected by this invisible thread that is Gods grace. And really, it is all that ultimately keeps us connected, to each other and to Him and to LIFE. I came across the following song weeks ago, and it keeps coming to mind, and is something I'm slowly digesting:

Brother, let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too

We are pilgrims on a journey
We are brothers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load

I will hold the Christlight for you
In the night-time of your fear
I will hold my hand out to you
Speak the peace you long to hear

I will weep when you are weeping
When you laugh I'll laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we've seen this journey through

When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony

Brother, let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too
(The Servant Song, by Richard Gillard)

Eph.4
v.3-6 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
v.16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

Its time to move ahead in the ocean of Gods grace, to FORGIVE, and let go of anger, bitterness, regrets, worry, fears, and all the nasty crap that is our human nature.
We easily become like seeds scattered on the footpath, picked of by birds on the sky because we are not UNDERSTANDING the message of the Kingdom of God, not letting it take root in our hearts (Matt. 13:4).
