Children's Bread

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

Mark 7:27-28

Give us this day our daily bread.

The way is already made. I have not brought you to a wilderness of death and bones. I have brought you to a battleground for souls. This is not a place of death and bones, but this is a place of tremendous victory. This victory on this place shall be for a memorial. I have allowed the things that have come that I might show myself strong on your behalf. Show forth fervent praises that this fragrance of praise will become a memory that you will not forget. Allow not the regretful things to become your memories, or there shall only be the remains from the stagnant fragrances of bitterness and resentment. I have allowed all the pains and hurts that you might be in fellowship with me. You have come to know me in the fellowship of alienation and rejection, yet the glory of God rests upon you and those who follow you. Be not filled with dismay in this time of discouragement, but rather, be encouraged that you are chosen to suffer with me. The spears and javelins of the enemy cannot prevent you from going through the barrier ahead. I have placed a door in the barriers before you. Keep moving forward, for the door is already opened for you. I have gone before you and established foundations in the house of your enemies. I shall build upon this point of rejection and cause my acceptance to be your springboard of grace. I have given more grace in the time of bewilderment. Remember, I have allowed all the things that have come to you. The day shall not pass before you become fully aware of the meanings behind what I have allowed. I will give you a confirmation of the things that are to come to pass shortly.
