I sat at the hospital with a sick friend today. She was having her third hysterectomy. How could she be having a third hysterectomy you ask? Well, I suppose stranger things have happened. It all comes down to certainty. If you have a hysterectomy, it would stand to reason why you might feel fairly certain that you would never have the procedure again…and again. And after what my friend has gone through, it’s easy to see that what we might view as certain may not be the case.
There is one thing, however, that is always certain, and that is the promises of God. In 1 John 3:1-2, the Bible says, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
I’m sure glad that we have a Heavenly Father that is a sure thing. We never have to worry about that. What He says that He is, He is. What He says that we are, we are. What He says that He’s going to do, He does. There are no uncertainties with God.
As for my friend, the doctor said she thinks she got it all this time…but she can’t be certain.
