Is there A room for me?

“And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son… because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7)

Church, more than two thousand years ago our Lord Jesus entered this world in humility.

He was born not in comfort, but in a manger because there was no room for Him.

Bethlehem was full, yet the Savior found no place to rest.

This is not merely a story of the past; it is a reflection of our hearts today.

Jesus still longs to dwell within us, yet often He finds hearts crowded with worry,

fear, ambition, and the pursuit of worldly things, leaving no space for Him.

The problem is not ignorance, but priority.

We may know who Jesus is and still keep Him waiting at the door.

Today is our moment to respond.

We cannot change Bethlehem, but we can prepare our hearts now.

“A heart that makes room for Christ will never lack peace, purpose, or hope.”

Beloved, clear the clutter, open your heart, and say with faith,

“Lord Jesus, there is room for You here.”

STRENGTH THAT BEGINS WITH SURRENDER

Faith calls us to build our lives on God,

yet pride often convinces us that we can stand on our own.

When we rely only on personal strength,

we slowly lose our sense of direction not because God withdraws,

but because we stop depending on Him.

Israel’s exile was a painful reminder of what happens when self-reliance replaces obedience.

Still, it was never the end of the story.

God remained present, patient, and ready to be found.

Through Isaiah, He invited His people to open their hearts,

recognize His nearness, and return to Him as their true foundation.

Pride leads to exhaustion, but humility opens the door to renewal.

When we acknowledge our limits and trust God,

hope is restored and strength is renewed.

God never closes His heart to those who return to Him.

“True strength is not proven by how much we can carry alone,

but by how willingly we place our weakness in God’s hands.”

Choose humility.

Choose trust.

In God, we find strength that never fails.

RESPONDING TO THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS

Luke 2:16:“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.”

As Christmas draws near, I often reflect on the celebrations and sacred moments of past years. From childhood Sunday School lessons to adult faith, two figures consistently stand at the heart of the Christmas story: the shepherds and the wise men. Though worlds apart, they shared one powerful response to the news of Jesus’ birth immediate obedience. When the shepherds heard the angel proclaim that a Savior, Christ the Lord, had been born, they did not hesitate. They rushed to Bethlehem and found exactly what God had promised: Mary, Joseph, and the child lying in a manger. The wise men responded with the same fierce devotion. Guided by a star, they journeyed from the East, searching relentlessly for the newborn King. When they found Him, they fell to their knees in worship and offered their finest treasures gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Christmas message confronts us with a sobering question: How do we respond to Christ today? Jesus is no longer a baby in a manger He is Lord of our lives. Do we still seek Him daily through prayer, Scripture, and quiet devotion? Or have we grown distant? Christmas calls us to rise, pursue, and worship without delay.
