But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." Matthew 15:27
This Canaanites woman was on a mission to get help for daughter. Jesus ignored her, the apostles wanted to get rid of her, but she kept coming back begging for help. Jesus brushed her off saying He was sent to house of Israel, it would not be good to give the children's bread to the dogs. She came again saying she would be glad to have dog crumbs. She won the day and healing for her daughter. I was shocked at first. Now I''m impressed. I wish we all could have her faith and persistence.
