So, I just got blown away! I was looking through a hymnal just now trying to prepare for Sunday and ran across a song I’d never heard of before. It’s called “Have You Any Room for Jesus?”. It’s number 478 in the Celebration Hymnal. Anyway, I decided to read through it just because I’m sitting here in my office. Check these words out…

Verse 1

Have you any room for Jesus, He who bore you load of sin? As He knocks and asks admission, Sinner, will you let him in?

Verse 2

Room for pleasure, room for business, But for Christ the Crucified, Not a place that He can enter In the heart for which He died?

Verse 3

Room and time now give to Jesus; Soon will pass God’s day of grace. Soon your heart left cold and silent And your Savior’s pleading cease

MAN!!! Now, I know that may not hit everyone like it just hit me, but it hit me pretty hard. I’ve got so much stuff going on, and it’s easy for me to get sidetracked with all the things that this world puts in front of me. However, I think this is a good question to ask. Are we leaving room for Jesus in all of our busyness and daily lives? Do I spend too much time doing schoolwork instead of spending time with Jesus? Am I spending too much time doing ‘churchwork’ instead of spending time with Jesus?

Just something to think about today…
