Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room!

It is almost Christmas. I think it is going to be a very quiet Christmas. I hope so!

Last night,I sat and reflected on what Advent means to me.  What does it look like to prepare for Jesus coming as a baby? Is there room in my hear for Jesus! What does the Incarnation to me?

I have been reading Organic God by Margaret Feinberg. It sprung the idea that incarnation means that he is living in me.

This heart with Him living in me wants to make room for others. My heart is breaking with the plight of women throughout the world who die in childbirth from infections or from fistulas. My heart breaks for the orphan who needs a family.

What do I do about this? Do I go? Do I sponsor? Do I think about adoption or foster care?

I want Jesus to break my heart for all these things!

Joy to the World the Lord is come let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare him room and Heaven and Nature Sing.

Lord I'm singing!

Merry Christmas!!
