Here is a thought that I think very few Pentecostals thought of this morning. Not every one can prophecy or give a public message in tongues. Not all of you will ever walk on water or heal the sick. Not all of you will pastor a large or leadership church. Not all of you will be the head of anything or be a big success in business. Not all of you will earn advanced university degrees. But all of you will have someone or something that you love die or be taken away from you. All of you will grieve over something you no longer have; whether a dream, or a person, or a career.
Why then do we try to hide from death and refuse to understand the grieving person? If you are born again Heaven is your eternal home. But for us who are left here after someone dies the hope of Heaven carries little solace or comfort.
Maturity is the ability to properly process the events of life; the good, the bad, and the unwanted. It is childish to hide behind clichés and verses and to ignore what is happening to you and to those who you love.
