Here is today's communion meditation.
As we get closer to the end of the year it's a good reminder to look back at how far you've come. We often get focused on the struggles of today or looking at the ideal of where we want to be in the future, and this can make us feel frustrated and discouraged. But, looking back at the progress you've already made and how far you've already come builds gratitude and encouragement, which leads to the courage you need for today.
The other important part of looking back at our progress is understanding that God is progressive and wants to do more in the future than he has already done. This builds expectation so that we wake up excited for the day. A good practice to get into is looking back at each day, week, month, and year at the progress that was made and the things that went well.
In today's communion it is a time gratitude for all God has already done in our lives and that he wants to do even more moving forward. And we are asking for his help to wake up every day with higher level of expectation for what he is going to do today, this week, this month, and this year.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
