God's grace has no borders, and the story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 makes that beautifully clear. Despite every cultural, ethnic, and religious barrier stacked against her, this outsider approached Jesus with bold, persistent faith and received exactly what she came for. Psalm 67 reminds us that God blesses people not so they can hold onto that blessing, but so it can flow outward to the whole world. Like the Sea of Galilee, we are designed to be pipelines, not cisterns. When God seems silent, silence is never absence and delay is never disinterest. Even a crumb from God's table carries more power than anything the world can offer. The question is not whether God's grace can reach the outsider. The question is whether we are willing to carry it there.
