Christmas Thought for May








Make Room For Him


Before we can successfully undertake a personal search for Jesus, we must first prepare time for Him in our lives and room for Him in our hearts. In these busy days there are many who have time for golf, time for shopping, time for work, time for play but no time for Christ.

Lovely homes dot the land and provide rooms for eating, rooms for sleeping, playrooms, sewing rooms, television rooms but no rooms for Christ.

Do we get a pang of conscience as we recall His own words: "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head" (Matthew 8:20). Or do we flush with embarrassment when we remember, "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn" (Luke 2:7). No room. No room. No room. Ever has it been.
