When "No Room" is a Gift - A Short Christmas Reflection
If you’ve ever prayed for something and watched the door close instead… this is for you.
The phrase rejection is Gods protection isn’t just comforting — it’s deeply biblical. And nowhere do we see it more clearly than in the Christmas story.
We often hear that there was “no room at the inn” as something sad or unfortunate. But what if it wasn’t rejection at all? What if it was protection? What if God wasn’t shutting Mary and Joseph out — but gently guiding them somewhere quieter, safer, and exactly right for what was about to unfold?
In this short Christmas reflection, we pause to reconsider closed doors, unmet expectations, and the possibility that what feels like rejection may actually be sacred provision.
