NO ROOM

"No Room" is the title of a song sung in church this morning.
Actually it was a solo sung by my husband. I'm not biased or anything, but he sang it very well.

The song was written by John Peterson. John is a modern day writer of spiritual songs that speak to the heart.

Some of the lyrics are: No room - only a manger of hay. No room - He is a stranger today. No room - here in this world turned away. No room - here in the hearts of mankind. No room - surely the world is blind.

You might think it is all about the glorious night, our Saviour, Jesus was born.

But think about those words. They are very relevant to today.

There is no room for Him in public places. Why, because a few say He offends them.

What is so sad is that He died for them as well as those who accept Him.

Those who shun Him celebrate the holiday known the world over as "CHRISTMAS". Do you see what the first six letters spell?
Those same people that don't want Him in public places, profit from the holiday either with a paid day off or in their business.

Polls say that somewhere between 75-80 % of Americans claim they are Christians.
Imagine if all those Christians made room in their lives for the Christ of Christmas.

Perhaps if they did, He might notice, and our country would turn back to the basic values upon which it was founded.

What about your life? Do you have room for Him? Can you find a few minutes in your harried day to give Him some thought?

Take some quiet time, get to know Him again. Your life may take on a peace you don't have now.

Think about this -- if you don't make room for Him -- will He make room for you when you need Him?

God bless all of you.
