"... and she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7
No room for them in the inn... so where can we find Him? Where is the manger?
Wherever it is the manger scene sings of love, joy, peace, forgiveness, kindness, Truth, hope, fulfillment.
Yet, we can easily lose our focus by allowing our preparations and expectations of CHRISTmas crowd out what is most important. The distraction can set us up for frustration, sadness, exhaustion and disappointment. What all we add to CHRISTmas has the potential to rip away our JOY.
Lord, may it not be. I want to be where You are; i want to meet You at the manger first. There is nothing we can do or say to compare to the glorious gift of eternal life -- made possible only by the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, for the forgiveness of our sins. Thank You.
Let's keep room in our hearts for Him each day and be filled with His Peace.
