And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.—Matthew 15:27.

My sins are many, but oh! it is nothing to Jesus to take them all away. “It will be but a small thing for Him to give me full remission, although it will be an infinite blessing for me to receive it.” The woman opens her soul wide, expecting great things of Jesus, and He fills it with His love. Dear reader, do the same. She laid fast hold upon him, drew arguments even out of His words; she believed great things of Him, and she thus overcame Him. She won the victory by believing in Him. Her case is an instance of prevailing faith; and if we would conquer like her, we must imitate her.
