From today’s Scripture: “Then Jesus said to her in reply, ‘O woman, great is your faith!’ Let it be done for you as you wish.” — Matthew 15:28 

Jesus recognized the faith of a Canaanite woman who came to him to ask for healing for her daughter. How good am I at recognizing the faith of others around me? Sometimes I can judge others by their appearance rather than looking beyond the surface as Jesus does. In the missions, I frequently work with people from other churches or people who don’t belong to any church. I believe that recognizing someone’s faith can be done through a relationship that is better than my first judgement. Today I pray to listen to their story and see how God’s grace is working in their life. That relationship can bring us both closer to Christ and allow me to share my faith story with them.

Let us pray: Jesus, enlighten me today at those opportune moments to recognize the faith of those I meet, and give me the resoluteness to share mine as well so that they might see you.
