We like to think that if we know something for certain we will be okay. It presents an element of safety we believe we need to function well. What gets us stuck is when we seek certainty in something outside ourselves. The only certainty is change. The more we hold expectations of precisely how things or people need to be for us to have a sense of certainty the more we set ourselves up for disappointment. Connecting to the truth of who we are is an unchanging factor that gives us the strongest sense of certainty. It reminds us that no matter what happens, even if we change and grow in the process we will always be able to pause and connect within. In the space of our core, we can take whatever uncertain reality is taking place outside ourselves and determine who we are in the midst of it. It is not faulty of us to think an outside level of certainty will make us okay, it is simply what the world tells us is true. What we do not realize until we are faced with all the uncertainty that exists, is the world tells us that because it is trying to convince itself of the same thing. God invites us to connect to the ever-flowing life force within us which guides us on this river of life through whatever uncertainty to the place of certain love always abiding in our hearts.
