“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9.) NIV 1984
One
evangelical pastor had a three-year-old daughter who certainly believed that
verse. Here is how her mother recounted the story:
My
husband is a minister who conducts an expanded altar call at the end of his
sermon. He asks those who wish to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord
and Savior, as well as those with prayers or other requests, to come forward.
To
the surprise and delight of the congregation our three-year-old daughter,
without a word to me, got up and made her way forward. She waited patiently
while the others ahead of her made a request.
When
her turn came, my husband leaned down to ask for her request. She whispered,
"Can we go to the restaurant after church?"
