The woman came and knelt before him. “Please, help me!” she said. The Great man replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes it is, Sir,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Then JESUS said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.(Math 15-vs-21-28) It is about winning souls and being wise in doing so, SPREAD THE LOVE<3 and WEALTH (Pray for someone on today).

This address the woman of Canaan to Christ, she was a Gentile a stranger to the common wealth of Israel, God will have his remnant out of all nations, chosen vessels in all coasts, even the most unlikely. If Christ would not have made the visit to those parts the woman probably would have not come to seek Jesus. It is the excitement of having faith and zeal to have the opportunity and acquaintance with Jesus brought to our doors, her address was very urgent as she cried out to Jesus very earnestly, she related her misery by telling Jesus her daughter was grievously vexed with a devil, the vexation of the child was her parents trouble, because she was still her mother daughter. It was the trouble and distress of her family that brought her to Jesus any way, because she came in faith Jesus did not reject her, she requested mercy, mercy for her child and mercy for herself. It is the duty of the parents to pray for their children and to be earnestly in prayer for them, bringing them to Christ by faith and prayer, he alone is able to heal them. When the woman cried after him he did not answer not one word, it was like he turned a death ear, the disciples was trying to turn the woman away as to say she brought shame to the by doing what she did because she was not Jewish. Jesus answer was he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel, it was not meant to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs, because gentiles were looked upon by the Jews with contempt and were counted and called dogs. The woman said truth Lord, I can't deny that I am a dog and do not have a right to eat the children's bread, but dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table, her faith expected her to receive those crumbs, the Canaanite woman proved herself a true daughter of Israel who like a prince had power with God, and prevailed, Jesus said O woman great is thy faith and he cured her daughter, great believers get what they seek after, her daughter was made whole from that hour, the mother faith prevailed for her daughter's cure, Jesus said it is done.
You have to be sensitive to other. One of the greatest saying; don't forget where you came from. We are some of those same people. I know for me, I was that dog and for awhile no one could or should I say would hear me. I know what it is like to be kicked when your already down. God has prepared me for this, to have an sensitive ear for those who feel the way I once felt. Lord I will never forget Amen...........
I enjoyed ALL of the remarks every last one of them . Mother learns so much from each one of you.. Thank You Daughters I Thank you so much......BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, THERE GO I. If it had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be?.. On one occasion Jesus was asked what commandment is the most important. He replied, Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must Love the Lord God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength" The second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29-31). If we trully love God we will want to do what pleases Him. In the same way if we truly love others as much as we love ourselves, we will be concerned for their welfare and will treat them accordingly. Before we can effectively love God, We must first realize how much He loves us.God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners, who had no relationship with Him (Romans 5:8). The more we realize this wonderful truth, The more our love will grow for God, Jesus Christ set the standard. Our love for others should model Christ's love for us. God has given us the greatest example: Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior. He knew that the best way to teach us how to love was to show us how it was done. And through the Gospels we can see Jesus love in action. The greatest display of His love for us was when He took the punishment for us by dying on the cross. Because of His tremendous sacrafice, we are obligated to love others. Scriptures say "Owe nothing to anyone, except for your obligation to love another (Rom.13:8). Because we will never match the depth of love God has for us, we will never be able to fully repay the depth of love we owe Him. That is why we have to keep giving out that same kind of love to other's. When Jesus Christ becomes the standard of our love, we will understand what the Apostle Paul meant when he said Christ's love controls us (2 Corth. 5:14). God saved us for a purpose. (Eph.2:10) That purpose as His child is to do good works by helping others.The amazinz and wonderful truth abou God's purpose for our lives is that He had plans for us to do good works long before we ever existed. He has already scheduled the days and events of our lives with opportunities to tangibly share His love with others "Hallelujah" "Hallelujah"(Psalms 139:16:, Jeremiah 29:11). The next time you see a neighbor in trouble, hear about a friend struggling, notice a coworker in distress, or see a stranger who genuinely needs a helping hand, take hold of this opportunity God has placed in your path. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify Your FATHER which is in HEAVEN. Let your good deeds SHINE. Because you are His child.Amen Mother Love you ALL so much, but not merely as much as Jesus. "Be blessed in the Lord, And it is so". In the name of Jesus" Hallelujah, Hallelujah Thank you Jesus.
Amen Jenifer, I totally agree with you when you stated that, WWJD is what we should ask ourselves and think first. You are correct; when you said the person that we turn away might as been the one God want to heal, deliver, and set free. We have to know that the person we pushing away might be the next, Apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. We have to be spirit led and know that God is in control of our paths. NOW FAITH is the substance things hope for, Glory to God!!!

Yes we do have to be wise to win souls. Thats why we need to stay prayed up and fasted up. Because whe we have a relationship with God the hoy spirit will lead us and guide us on what to do. People are use tobeing turned down, talked about let down. But when we show a act of kindness it blows them away because they are not looking for the good. Others around you will try to cox you into turning your back on people or doing a good deed, but you have to know that you know that this is my resonible service. They use to have a saying out WWJD, ask yourself that. That one person you just turned away might have been the very one Jesus was about to deliver, or it just might have been Jesus himself testing us. (Hebrews 13:2) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. This woman had a great faith she went there knwing that she was going to be fed. We need to get some of that NOW FAITH.
