Make Room For Him

In the midst of our activities and preparations to celebrate Christmas, how often do we forget about the honored guest? We string our lights. We trim our trees. We talk about Christmas. We hear recorded songs mentioning the birth of Jesus. But how many people actually take time for Him? We run around the malls and buy things for everyone we know—and even some people we wish we didn't know. But we can forget to make room for Jesus.

All throughout His life there was never room for Jesus. The fact that there was no room for Him in the inn, and that He was sent to a stable, or cave to be born, was indicative of the treatment that He would receive throughout His entire earthly ministry, from the cradle to the cross.

Is there room for Jesus in your life right now? As you celebrate Thanksgiving, then enter into the Christmas season, and prepare to start a new year with new opportunities, I encourage you to make room in your life for Him.
