    Faith is an amazing thing, because it is faith that draws us to Christ and the redemption of God. The Syrophonecian woman who came to Christ to ask for her daughter to be healed had such faith. In faith, she came to Christ boldly, and even when He tested her, her faith gave her the words to say. Because of that faith, her daughter was healed.
    Our faith is the same faith that brought this Greek woman to kneel before Christ and patiently petition Him for her daughter’s wellbeing. It is that faith that allows us to go boldly before God in prayer, asking Him for His Kingdom and His Righteousness, and expecting that we will be given what we need when we need it in the pursuit of those things.
    Our faith is a powerful thing. Even the smallest faith guarantees us a place in Heaven, and by such a faith, we can spread the Gospel in its purity and truth, fearless and expectant that the Lord will do His will among us.
