Making Room


Before we can successfully undertake a personal search for Jesus, we must first prepare time for Him in our lives and room for Him in our hearts. In these busy days there are many who have time for golf, shopping, work,or play—but no time for Christ.


Lovely homes dot the land and provide rooms for eating, rooms for sleeping, playrooms, sewing rooms, television rooms, but no room for Christ.


  “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them inthe inn” (Luke 2:7). No room. No room.  No room. Ever has it been.


From "The Search for Jesus" by President Thomas S. Monson

“Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!”—ElderNeal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (“‘Settle This in Your Hearts,’” Ensign, November 1992, 66)

May we all make room for Jesus this holiday season.
