As Christmas draws near, Advent invites us to prepare room for Christ, not by doing more, but by making space in our hearts. Just as there was no room for Jesus in Bethlehem, our own lives can become crowded with hurry, distraction, and striving. But when we pause, release control, and allow the Spirit to reorder our priorities, we discover that even a manger-sized space is enough for His presence to dwell.
