Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him

Mark 2:1-12

She is searching with her eyes closed

When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.  Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.  They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.  Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him.  After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.  When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."  Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, "Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming.  Who but God alone can forgive sins?"  Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?  Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk?'  But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth" -he said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home."  He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone.  They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this."

Lord,
They did whatever they could to reach you.  they were creative and did not care what others would think of them.  They had faith in you, your word and your divinity.

Lord, as I look around in this chapel today, I see many people who are not the fancy rich people coming here  to be close to you.  I see the regular, the ones who may not have been blessed with material things.  Yet they know who you are and what you've given them.  Of course, I am assuming by outward appearance.  But I see a faith and devotion here, among these people that I do not see in the pews.  Lord, Help me to reflect you in may actions.  Help me to be the example you desire me to be.  Lord, the one person I desire the most to come to you, is so far from you.

Your example and faithfulness and dedication and consistent continued love and devotion will be with her and show her I am real.  She is lost but not for good.  She is watching and even though she does not agree or understand, she respects you and your dedication that will bring her back.  She will need 'the rock' the true rock, me and I will be here when she does and so will you. right now she is searching for me out thee.  She doesn't know it but it is me she longs for and searches for and I am right in front of her eyes.  She will open them one day and know that I have been faithful to her and patient.  Don't worry, have faith and know she is mine.
