A Canaanite woman who lived in that region came to him. “Son of David!” she cried out. “Have mercy on me, sir! My daughter has a demon and is in a terrible condition.” So Jesus answered her, “You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you.” And at that very moment her daughter was healed.
Matthew 15:22, 28 GNBDK
Reflection:
There is a lot that happens between the first cry of the Canonite woman and the healing of her daughter. This episode shows us God's love isn't limited by any social boundaries, it shows us how big a heart God has. And it also reveals to us that sometimes we ought to wrestle with God to get a yes from him through persistent prayer. Let's ponder on this and ask ourselves questions about our faith in God? Do we really know him, do we really approach him in full confidence? What is the size our faith? Can we be pertinent in our prayer till he actually blesses us?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to approach him in full confidence just as children reach out to their parents. May you emulate Jesus Christ his son as you fully believe in what God has planned for you. And may his Holy Spirit reveal to you the everyday miracles of life. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
