Have you ever asked God for something and felt like you got shot down? Did it ever feel like God was telling you, "It's not right to give the children's food to the dogs..."? What did you do? Did you give up? The lady in today's Gospel did not give up. She said, "even the dogs get to eat from the scraps of the master's table." This lady had it figured out! She knew what she wanted: Her daughter's healing. And she had compelling reasons to go for it: She loved her daughter like crazy! I bet she never would have begged so fiercely for herself. But for her daughter, she was ready to move the world... And anyone who's that committed will find a way. Jesus rejects her. Jesus doesn't reject anybody. He rejected her. He even justified it. And yet she kept coming. What was her reward? She got her daughter back healthy... and she was immortalized in the Gospel... What could you insist with God about that could change your life or better, the life of someone you know? Are you ready to grovel like a dog to make it happen? If you really played all out, do you think God could say no to you? Why not go for it, you've got nothing to lose anyway right?
God bless,
Live from your heart,
Scott
