Hey there,
I think that really Jesus was trying to see how much faith this lady had, when she said yes, but even the dogs lick from their masters table. We have to look at our condition sometimes and say or cry out to Jesus and say Lord I know I am not where I need to be with you BUT I NEED YOU LORD!! I need your grace and mercy and LOVE, I need you to help me and fix my situation. When the friends of the man on the bad came and broke open the roof to get to Jesus that was a test of their faith! Jesus calls our hand sometimes and says, Look at your heart, where is it? What are your motives, are you really willing to seek me to get your needs met, do you realize I came to the Jew first then to the Greek, ( and we all know that we Gentiles were at one time considered dogs to the Jew because we did not adhere to the strict customs that they do. Where is our heart? she was willing to swallow her pride for her child and say YES! I understand I am not where I should be with you Lord but I still want my child to be whole and well. We have to swallow our pride and realize who we are dealing with, He knows who he is, HE IS the Son of the Living God! We can't come to him any old kind of way, unless we submit to him.
