It's easy to become focused on shopping and decorating and preparing food for the CHRISTMAS holiday. It's easy to be so consumed with the celebration of the birth of CHRIST that we forget about CHRIST HIMSELF!
We've all done it to some degree, and in so doing, we have robbed ourselves of the true joy that is proclaimed in the old carol, "JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD IS COME."
If we do not have that joy in full measure, if the world is swallowed into a pit of hatred and cruelty and violence and wretchedness of every sort, it is not because the LORD IS COME, but because Earth has failed to "RECEIVE HER KING; because EVERY HEART HAS NOT PREPARED HIM ROOM."
Have you received your KING?
Have you made room for JESUS in your heart?
Have you made room for JESUS in your heart?
Seasons come and seasons go, but our instruction remains the same—be ready in season and out.
