When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to them that followed, “Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” – Matthew 8:10

“O woman, great is thy faith…” – Matthew 15:28

Faith is exceedingly delightful to Christ. What He said to this woman began with an exclamation, as if He were struck with something in her that delighted Him. He said, “O woman, great is thy faith!” Notice that He spoke of her faith, and of that alone. He knew about her love; He knew about her earnestness; He knew about her humility; but He said nothing at all about them; His one word of commendation was for her faith. “O woman, great is thy faith!” That is what my Lord is looking for now. He comes round and looks at you to see whether you have faith in Him…He will see it, and He will accept it. If thou hast only now begun to believe that Jesus is the Christ, and to trust Him, though thy faith be feeble as a babe that cannot stand, but can only cling to its mother’s breast, Jesus will see the beginnings of it. He is the “Author” as well as “the Finisher” of our faith. Be thou comforted, then, concerning that tiny trust thou hast in Him. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
