Dec.19.03: Light For The Day - "Room For God?" -- Revelation 3:20,21 (NKJV) 20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,  I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." --------------------- Some of the saddest words on earth are:  "We don't have room for you." Jesus knew the sound of those words. He was still in Mary's womb when the innkeeper said, "We don't have room for you."... And when He was hung on the cross, wasn't the message one of utter rejection? "We don't have room for you in this world." Even today Jesus is given the same treatment. He goes from heart to heart, asking if He might enter... Every so often, He is welcomed. Someone throws open the door of his or her heart and invites Him to stay. And to that person Jesus gives this great promise: "In my father's house are many rooms. ..." (John 14:2) What a delightful promise He makes us! We make room for Him in our hearts, and He makes room for us in His house. -- Max Lucado ---------------------- -- John 3:16-18 (NKJV) 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." -- Luke 2:7  "And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
