He discusses in Matt 7 (and Luke 11) what kind of Father He is. If earthly dads would give bread, fish, and eggs (not rocks, snakes, and scorpions), what would He give? Well, you can't imagine it, and here's why: I'm convinced you/we don't know well enough what to ask for. Career? No, He will provide. Family? No, He is your family. Deliverance? No, He will undross you.
Then what? Intimacy. Closeness. If you ask it will be given. Ask for a walk. Ask for a breakfast alone. Ask for nearness that brings the trembles. He won't just give bread for bread, but something you cannot imagine: whole fields that make out your bread for what it is (plain slices). But the grandeur of all of Heaven awaits you for the trade.
