Imagine an ocean. Beautiful weather. Freeze frame, zoom out a thousand miles and see everything from the sky to the black ocean 2000 miles under. Imagine me in the middle of the ocean. Imagine me, chained to boulders. I've been desperately trying to swim upwards, but as each day passes by, my surroundings get darker. My strength wanes. I'm sinking. I'm done swimming.
The only way to live... to survive... to break off these chains. Swim to the open air, breathe. Live.
-DK, over and out.
Now, imagine this same ocean with you still in the middle of it. But rather than you being chained to boulders you're free. Also, the ocean isn't your prison but it's a sea of grace. You're immersed in grace and you can't fall out of it. In your struggles, suffering, sin and shame, you'll always be swimming in an ocean of grace.
