Let's Risk the Ocean

It’s Your love that we adore.
It’s like a sea without a shore.
We're lost in you.
We're lost in you.
It’s Your love that we adore.
It’s like a sea without a shore.Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be afraid.
Just set your sail.
And risk the ocean there’s only grace.
Let’s risk the ocean there’s only grace.
Let’s risk the ocean there’s only grace.
Where you go we will follow.
I'm on my knees.
Where you go we will follow.
Oh God send me.
(Sometimes - David Crowder Band)

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it."
Matthew 16:24-25

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 8:12

It's easy to declare that I am following Christ. It's another thing to deny myself daily in order to truly follow Him. To genuinely follow Christ means to leave myself behind, move forward, and follow His lead. Leave all my insecurities, mean thoughts, guilt, selfish motives, and pride in the past. I'm taking on only the things of God. I think of how many times I fail at this, but that's the beauty of it. Every time I fail, God is there with endless grace. That is why I never have to be afraid. The risk of leaving my thoughts and ambitions behind to strive for a fruit-filled life is completely worth it when I'm sinking in an ocean of His grace everyday.
