If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Note 4 at Lu 11:11: The most loving father in the world cannot compare with the love our heavenly Father has for us. And yet many times we find it easier to believe in the willingness of a father or mother or mate to help us than in the willingness of God to use His power on our behalf. Relatively few of us really doubt God's ability. Rather, we doubt His willingness to use His ability on our behalf, and that causes most of us to do without. Jesus was assuring us that God's love and His willingness to demonstrate that love are far greater than we can ever experience in any human relationship.
