I think the innkeeper in the Christmas story gets a bad rap. He has been portrayed as the bitter villain who refuses to put up a pregnant lady and is so rude as to say, "No room!" (Would it freak you to out to know that the innkeeper isn't mentioned anywhere in scripture and that we just made him up?) For some reason, it's so easy to point out the bitterness in someone else's life and to completely overlook the lack of forgiveness in our own. What if it was possible to do without bitterness and unforgiveness this Christmas? I am so excited because of the freedom that God wants to offer those who are willing to forgive. I can't wait to see what God does!
