- Go to CAN KINDNESS-THAT BOWS AND GOES AWAY- BE A WEAKNESS EVEN TO GOD?
You leave me here with things to think about. I do speak the
truth as I see it but sometimes I try to use a gentle feather rather than a stick....unless remarks made to me are very unfair..... Not often happening I thank God for.

Ah yes, I have prayed with this scripture in mind many a time - and the best interpretation I have found of this particular verse(s) is from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary :
7:24-30 Christ never put any from him that fell at his feet, which a poor trembling soul may do. As she was a good woman, so a good mother. This sent her to Christ. His saying, Let the children first be filled, shows that there was mercy for the Gentiles, and not far off. She spoke, not as making light of the mercy, but magnifying the abundance of miraculous cures among the Jews, in comparison with which a single cure was but as a crumb. Thus, while proud Pharisees are left by the blessed Saviour, he manifests his compassion to poor humbled sinners, who look to him for children's bread. He still goes about to seek and save the lost.
