Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room

A close friend confessed to me that she is feeling a great deal of anxiety as we draw closer to Christmas.  Her calendar is crowded, and she is not feeling “Merry and Bright.”

Can you relate?

I haven’t wrapped one single gift. I haven’t mailed any Christmas cards.  I confess that I put down the nativity without dusting the coffee table (Picture Baby Jesus among the dust bunnies.)

Maybe like me you want to push the pause button on Christmas.    I honestly wonder if being a busy bee is one of the reasons why many people back in the day missed out on  the news that their promised Messiah had come.  Perhaps even the citizens of Bethlehem needed to slow down and let go of their expectations.

I don’t want to miss Him.

Joy to the world.  The Lord is come.  Let every heart prepare Him room.

Lord, this Advent help me have the expectant heart of a pilgrim.

They asked around,

“Where can we find and pay homage to the newborn King of the Jews?

We observed a star in the eastern sky that signaled His birth.

We’re on pilgrimage to worship Him.”

Matthew 2:2
