Months ago I signed up with a website to receive inspirational emails daily. They are short “thoughts for the day”. These are two that I have received in the past couple of days. I benefited from them. Maybe others here will, too.

I believe God wants you to know...

...that nothing is ever solved, or created, by standing still.

Movement is the process of the Universe. So move. Do something. Anything. But do not stand still. Do not remain "on the horns of a dilemma." Do not fence sit.

Put your foot down on one side or the other, swing the opposite leg over and start walking. You'll know before you take ten steps if you're going in the right direction. Not to decide is to decide. Try to not make choices by default.

And…

...that this is not the end, but the beginning.

All endings start something better. It is inevitable.

Here is God's promise: Life proceeds, it never recedes.
Life progresses, it never regresses. Not even death
ends anything, so how much can this particular event
matter?

It is true. When one door closes, another does open.
The movement of life is ever upward. Six months from
today you will know this. For now, trust it.

Do you think God does not know what He is doing?
