Here is today's communion meditation.

 In Matthew 7:14 Jesus said that the path or road that leads to life is narrow. Some versions translate it as being hard, difficult, or constricted but the original Greek word used for narrow means to be compressed. The road that leads to life is compressed. Life tries to put pressure on us to quit and conform to the pattern of the world.

One of the hardest parts of the path is learning to give ourselves and others the same grace God has given us. When people wrong us, it takes putting aside our ways to do continually good for them. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help understand the road that leads to life and to persevere and keep making adjustments to stay on the path. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

In our health and fitness, the road can also feel compressed at times. Life has a way of trying to disrupt our rhythm. A big key is learning to make adjustments to stay in rhythm. 

 I am praying for you.
