Cover photo of today, a bunny a butterfly can be seen, happy as they can play, eat, and enjoy. But; there are animals which are not loved be it a pet dog.
Lately a news on Friday morning, of a
gruesome act done to an unspeakable animal. This, brutal and horrific news made
me to have goose bumps. A dog, was tied to the boot of a moving car, and was
dragged along the road; in one of the place in Kerala on 12/12/2020, and the
news went viral.
After which, I started thinking about
the fall of a man. Not only is the human doing nuisance to the human but;
animals as well. For all such instance and wickedness does Rom 1:18 says "The wrath of God is being revealed from
heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth
by their wickedness." Though the man got his punishment, it is a
reminder for everyone to be kind.
Away from the headlines let's move to
this month. December is in it's full bloom, reminding us of Christmas. We can
read in the scripture during the birth of Jesus, when Mary and Joseph, went to
search for a room, they could not find a
single room. How, desperate the situation might had been to Mary and Joseph,
when they wandered from place to place for a room! Some of us, will surely
guess why a miracle didn't happen. But, the scripture had to be fulfilled that
the King of Kings had to be born in a stable. In Luke 2:7 " and she gave birth to her first born, a son. She
wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn". Jesus,
left the Heaven and came to the earth to find
a room to live. But, did not find
any.
I, am not asking to make a space in your
house. Let's use, this opportunity to make a room for Him. Your heart which
doesn't need decorations or white washing, or new linens. An, empty space to accommodate
your Savior in your heart.
If, we see in the life of 'Jesus';
there was no room for Him. From, the
time of birth, we can see the innkeepers did
not have a room, some of His close friends who doubted didn't accept Him.
Judas, to whom money was important, He, was despised and rejected by all men,
even the one who ate with Him. He, was nailed to cross, and everyone shouted we don't need Him. Everyone, was full
as they all had miracles, blessings, teachings, healings etc. But; no room for Him. He; came into the world to save the lost, to bring light from darkness,
to seek the lost, to mend the broken hearted.
Our Savior
showed us how to live
With charity,
faith and service.
It makes the
holiday a joy,
More peaceful
and less nervous."

What do you feel? Do you have a room for Him. Invite Him in your heart today. This, is the true message of Christmas. He sacrificed His life for us, so this Christmas let's sacrifice for Him our time, our energy, our effort. He, wants you and me to stay with Him.
Thanks
