Healing Is the Children’s Bread

When a desperate mother begged Jesus to heal her daughter, His answer at first seemed harsh:
“Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread…”
Mark 7:27
But listen carefully:
He didn’t call healing “a reward,” “a blessing,” or “a miracle.”
He called it bread.
Bread is normal.
Bread is daily.
Bread belongs on the table.
Healing is not a rare event reserved for spiritual giants.
It is the children’s bread —
the simple, steady gift of a Father who loves His family.
The woman’s faith saw something even the disciples missed:
if bread is on the table, even crumbs carry power.
And Jesus answered that kind of faith with joy:
“For this saying… the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Mark 7:29
Healing doesn’t require spiritual heroism.
It requires simply coming to the table.
You don’t earn bread.
You just eat it.
And in God’s house, the table is always set.
