[S] Matthew 15:27 --
27But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
[O] This statement always warms my heart. This mother's love and care for her daughter's well being as well as her belief on the feasibility of Jesus' healing allowed her to have a tremendous heart of gratitude for even an infinitesimally small amount of Jesus' grace and touch of love. She had already surrendered everything else and all she needed was just a drop of God's touch which she was ready to receive with utmost thanksgiving. There were no strings attached. Her motives were pure. And Jesus used that to bring forth God's glory. Or stating differently, her fully surrendered self was prepared to display the amazing grace of God.
[A] How is my scale of "thanksgiving" especially during this time of Thanksgiving? Am I still trying to reach a certain level before I can have a "thankful" heart? Or am I going to be thankful even if just a drop of God's grace skims by my life?
[P] Dear Father, I want to have a heart like this woman to be thankful even for crumbs of Your love and grace dropping into my life. And through that may Your glory be revealed as I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
