\u201cDraw near to God, and He will draw near to you\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u2014 James 4:8<\/p>\n

There is a stirring, a deep and holy call\u2014an invitation from the heart of God. It is not just a whisper; it is a longing. He is calling His people to come closer, to step away from the noise, the clutter, the distractions, and to make room<\/strong> for Him.<\/p>\n

In the busyness of life, we find space for what we treasure. We make time for what we truly desire. We structure our days around our priorities, whether we acknowledge them or not. But the question remains: Have we made room for Jesus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Call to Lay It Down<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cBut seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Matthew 6:33<\/p>\n

There is an urgency in His call today:
\u201cLay it down.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cMove it over.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cCome away and be with Me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What is taking up the space meant for Him? Is it the endless scroll through social media? The relentless chase for career success? The emotional baggage we refuse to release? Our habits, our plans, our egos?<\/p>\n

Whatever it is, if it\u2019s crowding Jesus out, it must move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating Space for His Presence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cBe still, and know that I am God.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Psalm 46:10<\/p>\n

When Jesus was born, there was no room for Him in the inn (Luke 2:7). Today, He still searches for hearts that will prepare a place for Him\u2014not as an occasional guest, but as Lord and King.<\/p>\n

Making room for Jesus is an act of surrender. It is a realignment of our hearts and priorities. It means intentionally:<\/p>\n
