Why Won't He Let Me Find My Biological Father?

"God can do anything..."
"If He can't do it, it can't be done..."
"Ask in sincerity..."
"Believe..."

Sometimes in church I have to fight bitterness. The preacher says something, everyone amens it, but it's been a long time and I used to be encouraged when reminded that God can and God will...

Fighting cynicism on the church pew.

It's not about why won't He do XYZ. Or why did He allow XYZ.

In everything give thanks, and all things work to the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. My wife has friends who are Amish. She spoke extensively with a relative of the little girls who were murdered at a Amish school house. Their act of forgiveness is memorable in a time when people don't forgive. Now keep in mind that their religion dictates that they forgive. Meaning it is a Church rule. Therefore there isn't a question whether you want to or not. You must forgive. Yet, the Bible is clear on forgiveness, we must forgive because we are forgiven. Yet, you can't legalistically forgive and expect it to be worth anything. Time proves all things and we must allow Jesus to work on us.

come on Jermyn, you can do it!

Ephesians 6 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Hebrews 12 run the race with patience

Sadly it sometimes causes them not to be a father figure to others.
