The discipleship series was continued by Joy Talavera tonight
She talked about "Expectations" with so much energy and delight
The passage was Luke chapter five, seventeen to twenty six
In the story, some people resorted to "Miyagi moves" or tricks
Joy said that this links to the concept of "raising the roof"
For Jesus, seeing the effort made sufficed as solid proof
From all of Galilee, rabbis came to hear Jesus, the real deal
Due to the power of God in Him, Jesus had the ability to heal
A paralytic's friends could not find a way through the crowd
But giving up on their task was not something to be allowed
At times, we might feel paralyzed physically or emotionally
Not having control over events brings despair, not glee
Carrying him to the roof, the friends did all persevere
Then lowered him so in front of Jesus he did appear
Sometimes the crowd prohibits us from a breakthrough
Even ones close to us that we would normally go to
The roof represents hindrances in our lives, Joy did say
Getting others to help raise the roof may be the only way
Nonetheless, we should remember that people will fail us
And the only one who is perfect and never fails is Jesus
To get help and to improve our walk, we need community
As in Hebrews ten verses twenty four and five we do see
When Jesus saw their faith, the paralytic's sins He forgave
The paralytic walked home; praise the onlookers then gave
When a miracle occurs, we should make sure to share
This can also encourage others to go to God in prayer
The raise the roof sign is also a sign of surrender, Joy did say
This is something we can do whether it is a good or a bad day
We should also look to help raise the roof for others
Whether they be Christian or not, sisters or brothers
