Great Faith

Matthew 15:21-28, the story of the Great Faith of the Canaanite woman. This woman was rebuked by Jesus when she asked him to remove the demons from her daughter.  But she was not deterred and challenged Jesus through her great faith in him, her compassion for her daughter and her persistence.  As Christians today, we often do not feel compassion for others as we should because the world is such a cruel place and we operate out of fear, rather than love and compassion.  This woman did not waver, even when Jesus did not respond to her.  How many times do we give up on God, thinking we are unworthy of his love.
