“She came and worshiped him and pleaded again, ‘Lord, help me!’ ”
Matthew 15:25
• I was no stranger to pain; heartache had been my companion for years. With each rebuff and each failure, my self-esteem shriveled—and I edged closer and closer to self-destruction. Yes, I had made some bad choices, but finally God said, “Enough.” One Sunday morning, while randomly channel surfing the television, I once again heard the familiar Gospel mes- sage. This time, it was as though Jesus Himself were standing before me, the presence of the message was so strong. My old self crumbled and, reaching out, I surrendered. “I do not under- stand, but I do believe You, Lord. If You will have me, I am Yours.” That was over twenty years ago, and just like the woman of Canaan, I am still fed by the Lord. I do not dine on crumbs, though, but on the riches of His love. I only wish I’d asked sooner. Time and again, Jesus has told us, you only have to ask.
