No room in the inn. Luke 2:7

She gave birth to her first-born son; she wrapped him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2: 7


In the Sunday morning class our preschools were recently learning about the birth of Jesus and there being no room at the inn. I was thinking about times in my life when I didn't welcome God with open arms and He was secondary in my life. I was too involved in my career. I was too involved with my family. It was very easy to find excuses and justify putting Him 2nd to all other things. I had to make a living. I had to spend time with my family. I was providing for God's children, taking in foster children, and that took even more of my time. My life was full of other things/people, much like the Inn. There was no room.

Then things changed dramatically. All I know to say is how much our lives change when you make room for Jesus in your everyday life.
