The uncertainty of life surrounds us constantly, leaving us questioning the true unseen certainty. We live in a world of constant change and what might be acceptable in one moment isn't quite acceptable in another. Out of the uncertainty of this world, there is a creativity that is born from within ourselves that motivates our personal courage and enables us to release the certainties that we cherish.
Releasing these certainties, what we know to be true, allows our creativity to spin cycles in life, challenging us to proceed with faith and courage. When we embrace the creativity in our personal souls, and cling to the courage in our hearts, the two converge and what seemed to be an uncertainty of life, has truly been just a glimpse of how to let our certainties go.
For Christians, the certainty in life is Creation: knowing that we are created in the image of God. However, with this notion we are human, and our nature, at times fails. We must have courage and faith to keep pursuing the life of certainty among the uncertain world. The motivation of Faith for a Christian is usually stemmed from the uncertainties of life, to allow our personal faith to strengthen. During these times of strife we are forced to let go of our certainties and cling to that we know to be true; faith, courage, hope, love, and salvation. Eventually, there comes a time where we must release the certainties in this life and cling to an unseen certainty.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
~Erich Fromm
