The question whether the measure of a Levy process starting from x>0 and "conditioned to stay positive" converges to the corresponding obiect for x=0 when x tends to 0 is rather delicate. I will describe work with Loic Chaumont which settles this question, essentially in all cases of interest. As an application, I will show how to use this result and excursion theory to give simpler proofs of some recent results about the exit problem for reflected processe derived from spectrally one-sided Levy processes due to Avram. Kyprianou and Pistorius.
