Dear God,
I know that You are merciful and kind. Truly a God
of love and grace. It was so horrible before. I had an evil spirit in my and it
practically controlled me. It was horrible suffering. Mom had heard about this
Jesus guy. Even though he is a Jew and we don't really talk to Jews and they
don't talk to us she knew he was my only hope. So she went in search of him and
when she found him she cried out to him, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy
on me!" and then she told him how I was suffering from demon-possession (Matt
15:22). This is where our different nationalities came into the picture and he
didn't listen to her. The guys with him told him to send Mom away, but instead
she knelt at his feet and begged him to help. He compared us to dogs and said
he was there for the Jews and not for us, because we are not the chosen people,
but my Mom was brave and she reminded him that even the dogs get the crumbs
that fall from the children (Mark 7:28). Jesus was surprised by her faith in
him, and he granted her request. By the time she got home I was already
healed.
I think some of the guys that Jesus normally talks
to want him to do things for them, but they aren't willing to admit that they
cannot do it without him. Mom was quick to agree that we are just like dogs,
but begged for mercy in spite of that. And Jesus responded to her faith with
grace. What a guy!
