‘Ask and it will be given to you! Search and you will find! Knock and the door will be opened for you! Everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened. Don’t you see? Supposing your son asks you for bread – which of you is going to give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish – which of you is going to give him a serpent? Well then: if you know how to give good gifts to your children, evil as you are, how much more will your father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
‘So whatever you want people to do to you, do just that to them. Yes; this is what the law and the prophets are all about.’
Matthew 7:7-12, New Testament for Everyone
