There is room.
There is room, for you.
There is a space in the world, for you.
There's a place in God's story, for you.
Love actually is all around, in the glistening lights, the warmth of the fire on winter nights.
The 'here-ness' of you, and you, and you.
Of course there is room.
How could there not be when the music is playing, the people are praying and all of the universe is saying 'you are loved'.
This is where the story starts.
The story that God is not apart. She's here, right here.
Whether you're a wise man or a shepherd, feeling like an angel or holding a story that's hopeful or shameful.
This is the time when we welcome the stranger, like Mary welcoming men to the manger and discovering that these strangers, are angels.
With messages of love for you and me, messages to hang on the Christmas trees of our hearts.
This story is yours, because God is here, not there; near, not far, because Christmas is coming and of course, there is room.
