I will make room for you.

 I Will Make Room for You

A Reflection on Revelation 3:20, John 14:23, and Luke 1:38

I will make room for You—not a corner, not a shelf,

But the wide and open welcome of a heart that’s given itself.

Not a dusty, hidden chamber where You might barely fit,

But the throne room of my spirit, cleansed and swept and lit.

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me.” (Revelation 3:20)

I will make room in my mornings—before the day takes flight,

To sit in silence, to seek Your face, to let Your word be light.

I will make room in my labors—in the busy and the strain,

To pause and whisper Your name, to remember that You reign.

I will make room for Your Spirit—not a visitor, but King,

To fill the empty spaces where only You can bring

True peace, true joy, true purpose, true love that never ends.

I will make room for You, my Lord, my Savior, and my Friend.

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.” (John 14:23)

I will make room for Your presence in the ordinary hours,

In the kitchen, in the car, among the thorny flowers.

No more crowded out by noise, no more pushed to the side.

I will make room for You, O God—in me, come and abide.

So here I clear the clutter—the idols and the fears,

The frantic pace, the wasted years.

I will make room for You. Not just today, but always.

Come, Lord Jesus, fill this house. I give You all my days.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” (Luke 1:38)

Amen.
