Our paragraph topic is: (The Canaanite woman) Part 7.
And the Canaanite woman crawled up from the depths of her heart, admitted to her wrongs and begged Christ for crumbs. She begged for forgiveness and asked for crumbs. She begged for healing and asked for crumbs. She begged for understanding and asked for crumbs. She gave her heart and asked for crumbs. For Christ saw the faith in her. He saw the love in her. He saw the hope in her and he knew what was in her heart.
In her heart was a need. In her heart was a desire. In her heart was a hope. In her heart was the word that brought her out of the village into the wilderness to meet Christ. In her heart was the belief that Christ was the one who would save her daughter. She knew when he spoke to her. She knew in her heart that he had the power. She knew in her heart that he had the truth. She knew in her heart that what she had heard about him was true because of the words he spoke to her concerning the children. And yet she still believed.
For she had searched everywhere for a cure. She had asked everyone for help. She had sought the wisest and the knowledgeable and none could help. But when she came to Christ she knew that he was the one. For Christ saw beyond her need. Christ saw into her heart. Christ saw into her soul and knew the medicine that would help. But Christ did not just want to cure her daughter. He wanted to cure the Canaanite woman also.
So Christ posed a cure that would bring forth the deep seated beliefs from her soul and cleanse her of her wrongs. And the Canaanite woman opened herself and allowed her soul to be cleansed. She admitted her wrongs. She spoke forth the errors in her beliefs. And she humbled herself before Christ and asked for the crumbs from his table that she may be healed. And Christ saw her humility. Christ saw her desire. Christ saw her belief and opened the door for her prayers to be answered. Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is thy faith! Let it be done to thee as thou wilt." And her daughter was healed from that moment.
The Canaanite is an example to us today. She heard the word of Christ and set out to find him. She found him and she worshipped him. She praised him and he opened her heart. And she humbled herself and Christ healed her and her daughter. It was her belief in what she heard that drove her. It was her desire to know that led her. It was her hope in him that humbled her. And it was her faith in him that healed her. Many today hear the word but do not seek. Many find but do not worship him who gave. Many praise but do not open their hearts. And many have faith but do not humble themselves because they live in a world that holds them, a world of their bodies.
My own journey led me to him. My own path took me through many tricks and turns on the path to him. It was only as a last resort that I turned to him for help. And in seeking that help I gave up everything else. I released all ties to this world. I wanted to establish ties with him. What do you seek? What are your desires? Do you wish to know? Do you seek to find? Christ awaits you that you may receive your treasures. Christ awaits you that you may know the truth of who you are.
Come follow the path that I followed! Come read the truth that was given to me! Come seek the knowledge that has been before mankind for ages yet hidden by the world! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. And in that knowledge will come the Advocate who will teach, who will guide, who will protect, who will provide, and who will reveal the kingdom of heaven where Christ Jesus our lord awaits with loving arms.
