Chidinma - To live is Christ, To die, great gain!

A sister went home. She walked out of this world straight into eternity. I have been trying to wrap my head around her death but haven't succeeded. I have tried to move on past it but every picture, every status update and even the thought of the Worship Team without her causes me to weep. I've been so affected because of the kind of person Chidinma Stella Logo Maxwell was. So full of love and smiles. Hardly heard her shout or saw her upset or angry. And what hurts the most, is that she died after bringing life. Her death was unnecessary and shouldn't have happened.

At the end of the day, no matter how much pain I feel, or any of us who knew Chidinma feels, there is no questioning God or His ways. Now, God didn't kill her, He allowed her death for a reason none of us can fathom. It'll only become clear when we all get to heaven, where she is. If you're not a born again Christian, that hope doesn't exist for you. Sad and harsh, but true. the bible says, "The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; and merciful and devout men are taken away, with no one considering that the uncompromisingly upright and godly person is taken away from the calamity and evil to come [even through wickedness]. He [in death]enters into peace; the rest in their beds, each one who walks straight and in his uprightness." Isaiah 57:1-2 AMP

So, for us who mourn, our hope is that we will see you again, Chidinma. While here, we will love your son, and make sure that he doesn't miss you. He will have mothers in Family Worship Center to shame the devil. And when we meet, it will be a joyous reunion! Sleep Chimlo, till we meet to part no more!  


Hear what she had to say shortly before leaving..
.
The devil is constantly looking for ways to destroy and get souls into his kingdom, the devil does this because it obviously works for him. Then why is it that as christians we think we can take time off (even if just for a second) from being right and doing right, may God help us all and open our eyes to the truth that being Christ like has and needs no year/month/week/day/hour/minute or second off. It's a per second affair. #staytruetoGodandHisWord#GodsGraceisavailable#
