It’s Christmas Eve . . .
Don’t be the innkeeper.
Make room for him, my friends.
Don’t tell him no and don’t shut him out and don’t send him away.
Open the door to your heart and let him in.
He just wants to come, like any baby
waiting so long inside a mother’s womb.
He simply longs to enter your world, to stay with you always, to be present in every moment of your life.
His light is shining all over the world
tonight and it is too bright to ignore. Hear
him knocking on your soul and understand that He is enough for you. His
forgiveness overshadows every failure.
His grace overcomes all guilt. His glory abounds forever. He alone provides hope and peace and comfort and salvation, and his great, unfailing love for us KNOWS NO END.
So please, don’t be the innkeeper.
Let that baby king come in. Draw him close to you, place him on your
heart as you would any other tiny child, and breathe in the incredible goodness
of him, our Emmanuel.
Our Savior.
Our Jesus.
