Un-roofing roof

The doors are normally crowded out. Crowded out either by the abled pushing their way in, not giving way to the slow of gait and unable to walk, urgent pushing out the important, the reactive responses giving way to reflective ones, and many competing priorities.

Doors are kept for entry, roofs are kept for protection. Doors are kept to open and close at will, prevent when you do not want one to enter, or provide a welcome entry when you want to. But roofs are kept to protect at all times – you cannot open or close. You have no control over the roof, whereas doors one have.

But what do you do when doors are crowded out for the ones who should be allowed in as priority, for whatever reason it may be. That is when you un-roof the roof.

To come through the door, you do not need help, only ability or support to push the crowd away. Pushing and shoving is not a good way to enter into where you are coming or bringing people who are in need of healing and restoration. Un-roofing the roof is a better way. But for this, you need a team. A team which will work together to un-roof, deliver the person and then re-roof and quietly leave.

This will leave the team a bit exhausted, the owner a bit hassled, and the crowd a bit irritated, but the Master rejoicing and the person who was brought celebrating. Is it worth it? Definitely so, because one restored life is worthy enough to ignore the irritation of the crowd, or ally the disturbance of the owner. Not to forget the joy which one gave to the Master.

So the question is –what crowds my doors out? Which roof have I to un-roof, to bring the most in the fringes to the Master…or to get things of eternal value done in the midst of all the temporal ones which crowd my door….or get the important things done in the midst of the urgent crowding priorities….I need a team to keep me on track, to un-roof and re-roof….

The purpose of all these being, a life of one who is most at need restored.
