Make Room for God in Your Heart

I was greatly touched recently by a song that I wasn’t familiar with, called, “Make Room for God in your Heart.” One of the verses was, “Is there room in your heart for God to write His story, and trade your dreams for His glory?” The song kept asking that question, is there room in your heart?

I thought that any growth I’ve had in Science has been because I needed to make room in my heart for Christ to come. We all need to change our dreams, our willful planning, or our sense of what life is, to God’s will in our lives, and the true divine spiritual sense of what life is.

Even in the beginning, if you only think you have maybe just a little room in your heart, as you grow and take in those truths, you find that your heart just expands more and more, and soon that Love of God is just flooding through you, and you have made room in your heart for Him. All those past material dreams are now all for His Glory.

I read something so lovely recently about Handel, who wrote the beautiful Messiah, that so many of us listen to at this time of year. He wrote it in a very short time, and it was absolutely divine inspiration. He said it just came through him. He was given these beautiful verses to write music to. He said he wept when he wrote the “Hallelujah” Chorus, because he felt as if he’d seen the face of God, and then had experienced a touch of heaven with that beautiful music. Handel’s Messiah has gone out to reach so many people. Even people who have never believed in God and when they hear that holy music and those sacred words, find it is so uplifting and powerful. When Handel was praised for what he did, he said, “to God I give all the glory.” It is such a beautiful story.

We are all here to make room for God in our hearts. There couldn’t be a more glorious purpose!
