Now a Canaanite woman is begging for healing for her daughter. What will You do this time? Thank You Lord for […]

He (Jesus) answered, (His disciples) “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24 Thank You Lord that even though You were sent to the Jewish people You included us that are not Jewish. Thank You for dying for my sin. Thank You for loving me. We are Your […]
