The Light Of An Angel: a Tribute to Christina Grimmie

                             The Light Of An Angel:
         A Tribute To Christiana Grimmie
Dear Friends,
     This is a tribute to a young woman who didn't let fame diminish the light of Jesus in her life.  Christina  Grimmie grew in her faith and the Light of Jesus radiated from her not only to the people she met, but to all who heard her voice, read her blog, or had any other contact with her.  I heard that even a momentary contact with her left people with something special that couldn't be forgotten.  Her death at age 22 is tragic to say the least.  
     Christina said that the song "In Christ Alone" was her favorite song.  She overcame her shyness and was bold in her faith.  In the secular music world she was a Light in the darkness.  Christina  had the authentic Jesus.  The Light of Jesus in her drew people to listen.   She had found the unique qualities that God created in her. She used those gifts for His glory. 
    Christina lived up to the meaning of her name; anointed, follower of Christ.  The Light that she had in her life will live on.  
     The lyrics to the song, "Fly" by Celine Dion are very fitting in our thoughts of Christina. 
  Fly, fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love

Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this

Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me

Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

    Christina gave her life for being a follower of Jesus.  The Light from her life will not be hidden.

John 8:12

"Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, 'I am the Light of the world.  If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.'"

Matthew 5:14

"You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden."
