No Vacancy

In Thursday's post I talked about making room for Jesus in your schedule. What about making room for Him in your heart? There are so many things taking up room in our hearts that we tend to fill it up with junk and then when Jesus comes knocking, we put up the "No Vacancy" sign. We fill up our hearts with worldly things  such as lust, jealousy, anger, bitterness, hatred etc. Soon, there is no room for good things.

                  

We have to take down the no vacancy sign, open the door and let love in. When we do this, there will no longer be room for hatred, anger, bitterness and lust. It all as to go when God enters the picture.
                                         

If you are are filled with anger, bitterness and hatred, take down the "No Vacancy" sign, let love come in and you will never be the same again. I did it and it completely changed me. I know He can do it for you.

                                                         GOD IS LOVE

Is There Room for Jesus?

I have a very busy schedule, especially during the school year. I try to fit in all 7 of my classes, chores, babysitting, church, God, ASL, friends, exercise and sleep into 24 hours. Often times, God is at the bottom of my to-do list. He gets acknowledged after I get all my schoolwork done, maybe get a little exercise and maybe text my friends for a while. I do this A LOT. God should be the first person I acknowledge in the morning and the last person I talk to at night. I often make the excuse "I don't have time to sit down and read my Bible." But time really isn't the issue, here. Its how we use it. You can choose to text a friend first thing in the morning or you can choose to read God's Word. You can choose to read a book or you can choose to talk to God. In the midst of the hectic schedule of summer and especially the school year, do you have room for God in that schedule? Do you have a time set aside just for you and God? No I-pod, no phone, no computer. Just you and God. I often have a hard time finding time for God and His Word in my busy schedule and even if a do have a certain time set aside, I tend to skip it for something more "important." But nothing is more important than spending time with Jesus. So get out your schedule and make room for Jesus to today!
