The One Space He Desires
A Christmas Poem
Darkness overwhelmed me,
it blocked your existence
in my empty and futile life,
until one day,
The day
I made space
for you.
That day you said,
“Let there be light”,
and there was light
piercing the darkness
within me.
The darkness began
to dissipate in the light
growing inside me
one day at a time.
One day at a time
I continued to

and the light continued

and day after day,
as I make space
for you.
You are my source
of life and light,
Jesus,
You are the
Light of the world.
Thousands of years ago
someone made space
so you may be born
into this dark world.
What a glorious day!
The day that
glory entered earth,
in flesh and blood,
to make room
for us in heaven.
Thank You,
Almighty God,
Son of God,
Light of the world,
for one day
being born,
for another day
giving your life,
and for an eternity
of your unparallel love.
You are Immanuel,
always in my present,
You are the author
of my ongoing story,
You are the light
shining through me
today.
Today,
I make space
For you,
King of kings.
The day Jesus was born there was no close room for Mary to give birth to him, and the picture of him in a humble manger inspired me to write the poem you just read. Jesus was born for everyone to have access to him, the Savior of the world, but every person must make space for him to be born, grow, and plant eternity in our hearts. It is our hearts, our souls, the space where Jesus desires the most.
Are you making space for Christ this Christmas Day?
