We make lists.
We hang lights.
We wrap gifts.
We bake cookies.
We try to make Christmas magical.
But in all the doing,
sometimes our hearts can forget the most important preparation of all:
Making room.
Not just space in our homes—but in our souls.
The Risen Savior declared in Revelation 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (NIV)
What if this Christmas was less about control and more about surrender?
Less about stuff in our lives and more about space in our hearts to live in the love of God?
What if we let go of the pressure to get it all “just right” and simply make room for Jesus to come close?
Lift your eyes, friend.
Open the door of your heart wide and enjoy the light of His love on you.
The King of glory is waiting.
