Growth

A college class was graduating on a hot and humid day. As graduates walked across the platform and received their diplomas from the college president, he smiled, shook their hands, and said loudly, “Congratulations!” Then, in a much lower voice that could be heard only by the graduates, he would say, “keep moving.”

The president was only trying to keep the line moving across the stage, but his words are good advice for a lifetime — “keep moving.” After every achievement — growing up, graduation, marriage, job promotion, even retirement — the best advice is, “keep moving.” Don’t stop. Don’t stagnate. There is more to life than you have found thus far.

In the matter of your Christian Ministry, God is saying to you: “This is not the end; it is only the beginning. Keep moving.”
