In Matthew 15.22 it is said: “And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” With this passage from the Holy Bible we can learn about the sweet feeling called love. When this mother approached Jesus Christ, we can see how much she loved that child, do you know why? That girl caused a lot of trouble, but even then she didn't stop loving and caring, but rather got the solution in Jesus Christ because she knew that the Master would expel all the demons and her daughter would be free from that evil. Can you figure out the situation that she lived? How much that daughter made her mother cry? How stressful it was under that ceiling? But with that love that her mother felt made her believe that at some point, her daughter would be free. Nobody likes getting alongside with people who cause problems, who is annoying, who disturbs, isn't it? Remember that the Bible tells about the story of job? At the time it was okay, his wife was by his side, but at the moment when everything changed, he became poor, dirty and sick, she turned away and even cursed the Lord.

But we must persist my dear, have this mother as your reference, she didn't throw it all away, but insisted on a solution to the problem, she went to the Savior to ask for help. Steady my dear, persevere in prayer for your husband, your wife, your kids, or that person who you have prayed, keep doing it my brother because our God can change this situation.

When you have love and faith you are able to fight until the end of it, never give up! “But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Matthew 15.24-27 Jesus Christ was testing that woman`s faith, He already knew the size of the love that mother had for her daughter because He knows all things, yet He tested again. And with love in her words, she won the heart of the master. " Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour." Matthew 15:28 Today, God calls you to change your life, but for this you need overflowing love and faith.
