Yesterday, we had a man who had prospered in society throwing himself down before Jesus. Here we have a woman who is on the other end of the societal spectrum, and she is in the same place, throwing herself before Jesus.
What's amazing to me is that Jesus notices. We so often feel so insignificant, and we wonder if God would care about us... but Jesus knows us and knows our needs and attends to us, even in the midst of the chaotic busy-ness of life. I cannot promise you that Jesus will fix everything about you in a moment like this... but Jesus does promise that he will be with us, that he loves us, and that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we need not fear.
The disciples wondered if Jesus could notice such things, given the crowds. But the Good Shepherd knows his flock, and pursues every lost sheep with love and patience.
