Mark 7:24-30 I love this Gentile woman! She reminds me how powerful a mother's intervention can be. She stood up to Jesus and said, "Look, I know you've got a lot going on. I know there are others who may be more deserving. But this is MY child whom I love and I want you to heal her - make her well!" And Christ honored her faith and her love for her daughter. He was impressed by her argument that even dogs deserve the crumbs and if that was all he had to give, well, she'd take it. Being Christ, he didn't give her crumbs - he gave her the "good stuff" and healed her daughter.
What faith this woman had! This story will strengthen my prayers for my children. I can feel the Mama Bear rising up in me already....
