December

Pastor Scott greets Margirita Romo on her 74th birthday party at Resurrection House in Dade City.
They knocked at the door, hoping to find a room inside. They were cold and tired, their bodies ached, their stomachs growled for food, and the mother-to-be worried that that the baby might be coming any minute. “Sorry, no room,” they were told. No room for weary travelers, no room for a man returning to his hometown after many years, no room for a baby to be born…
When people come to our doors, we can always find room for them. When people show up with hearts that are tired, souls aching and lives hungry for love — we will make room for them. When the world has told them they have no place, we show them how Jesus makes a place for everybody.
God has come into our world and into our lives. He will be born in the humblest place, in the tiniest corner of our hearts. In the end, though, He wants it all — all your love and laughter, all your sorrow and anger, your pain and sin. He will take it all to make His kingdom, where, with all the children of our weary world, we find our place.

Peace, Pastor Scott
