Ocean of Grace
Jeff Wilson wrote, "for as long as we live, no matter what our circumstances, we are floating on the ocean of grace." He was speaking of the Other Power that is always supporting us and drawing us toward the Realm of Bliss.
Judy told me about a dream she had. In her dream, she was in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. The boat capsized and she was left treading water. As she struggled to keep afloat, God said to her, "You can fight Me if you want."
This week, when I did a reading for myself, it was suggested that I "become one with the ocean."
When I think of the ocean of grace, I see Judy's decision to stop struggling. I feel the grace of life itself buoying me up,. I remember that I arise out of grace, I am supported by grace, I am a part of grace while grace is a part of me, and I am being led towards grace.
