matthew 15:21-28

the story of the canaanite woman 

who asks Jesus for the cure of her possessed daughter.

when Jesus signs a cold shoulder with 

"I was sent to the lost sheep of Israel"

and

"it is not right to take the children's and toss it to the dogs",

the woman, 

with humble wisdom and faith,

replies

"even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."



she had the humble faith of

knowing that we do not deserve anything

and grateful that despite that,

God will give us everything that is good for us.
