You buy groceries and you have to find room for it in the fridge. What do you have to do if your fridge is full? You gotta get rid of some stuff.
You buy a few new shirts and the shirt drawer of your dresser is way too full. What do you have to do? You gotta get rid of some stuff.
A drawer of your desk is overflowing with papers but you need to put a book in there. What do you have to do? You gotta get rid of some stuff.
The song Joy to the World suggests to us that the Lord is come….. that it’s time for earth to receive her King…. and what needs to happen?
Your heart has to prepare room for him. You gotta get rid of some stuff.
So if your heart is full of anything that would not want to share space with Jesus, it’s time to get rid of some stuff. What about anger? Resentment? Impatience? Unforgiveness towards someone? Greed? Discontent? Pride? The list goes on and on.
I encourage you this Christmas season to check out your heart. It’s time to make room for Jesus. It’s time to get rid of some stuff.
Let’s make this commitment together this week to take a look and see what needs to go. And then we can sing, “O come to my heart Lord, Jesus, there is room my heart for thee."
