Refreshes the recipient’s connection with God by stirring up appreciation in his/her heart for the way He has been “God with us” in times past. 

Helps the recipient establish a living, interactive connection in the present from which God can continue to speak - strengthen, encourage, and comfort.  

Sets up the safety-net of “home base” in an inner healing session for dealing with painful, traumatic memories. That is, if issues with the painful memory are still unresolved near the end of the session, you will still end with a positive connection. The “positive” encounter at the beginning and at the end of a session is like the two outer breads of a sandwich properly encasing and protecting the fragile inside stuff.

Prioritizes and facilitates intimacy with the Lord, helping model to the recipient a spiritual practice that feeds into deepening our intimacy with God. This is the spiritual practice of recalling a positive memory and appreciating God in it.
