GIVING UP?

Matthew 15:28
Then JESUS answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

There are a lot of lessons that we can learn from this Canaanite woman's encounter with JESUS.:
Her faith, humility, desperation, perseverance, determination, respect, tenacity, fervency, etc. Her vision and the tenacity to press on to attain results no matter what, is something we can learn from as Christians.
I will simply define vision as that which makes us see the future from now. This woman had only one vision, that her daughter would be made whole.

JESUS was sent to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24) and they deserved the bread (benefits of salvation) i.e salvation from sin, sickness, demons etc.
It was not good (Greek word kalos which means it was not proper) for this bread to be given to dogs but the woman was determined to press on to the vision.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize.... (Philippians 3:13-14).

The world will not give you what you deserve but what you fight for.
If you have any good vision, then press on to the end and fight for it till you see it established.You will see your vision fulfilled in the Name of JESUS.

Where there is no vision, the people perish... (Proverbs 29:18)
