Humility and Faith at Jesus' Table

SUMMARY

This reflection focuses on how God works through judgment, mercy, and patient testing to draw hearts closer to Him. Tim traces that theme from Isaiah and Romans to the Gospel scene of the Canaanite woman, showing how both Israel's struggles and this mother's plea reveal a God who never abandons His people. He explains why apparent silence from heaven is often not rejection, but a deeper invitation to humility and trust. The woman's persistence becomes a powerful example of faith that refuses to let go, even when she seems to be turned away. Along the way, Tim connects the mystery of grace and free will to everyday spiritual life. It is a reminder that, whatever our circumstances, the right response is to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and cry out, "Lord, help me."
