Do you have room for Jesus?

There are now 20 days until we celebrate Jesus' birthday!  As I've been reading my bible lately, over and over again I'm reminded of the lowly place where He was born.  I'm sure Mary and Joseph were exhausted from the journey and then to find out there was no place for Him to be born?

Here in America this time of year we have our Christmas lists, grocery lists, and to-do lists.  I would like to pose a question today?  Do you have room for Jesus?  Are your lists so full that He has no place?  I would like to encourage you to make a room in your home where you and He can meet.  I meet with Jesus in my bedroom.  I close the door, hop on my bed, and pray, read the Bible and spend time with Him.  You see, when your heart and Home have room for Jesus your lists suddenly seem to get taken care of.  They seem less insurmountable.

You might say, well, if I start having a quiet time, I wouldn't know where to begin.  Here are just a few resources that I use almost daily in my quiet time:

1)  www.girlfriendsingod.com (devotional)
2)  www.margaretfeinberg.com (blog/devotion)

Another good one is:  www.crosswalk.com

Starting is the important part!  Do you have room for Jesus?!!
