God's mercy is available to all who seek Him, regardless of their background, as demonstrated by the Syrophoenician woman who received healing for her daughter.
In the account of the Syrophoenician woman in Matthew 15, we see a powerful example of God's mercy being extended beyond the traditional boundaries of Israel. Despite her being a Gentile, she approached Jesus with deep humility and faith, crying out for mercy. Jesus initially points out that His mission was primarily to the lost sheep of Israel, yet her persistence and faith ultimately led to her receiving the help she sought. This story underscores the inclusive nature of God’s grace, illustrating that anyone who earnestly seeks Him can find mercy and healing. Likewise, John 6:37 assures us that 'all that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.' This clearly indicates that God's mercy is available to all who come to Him in faith.
