Christina Grimmie, a former contestant on "The Voice" who was fatally shot on Friday night as she signed autographs for fans, was a committed Christian who had previously spoken of her faith and how she sang for Jesus. The singer was a contestant on season 6 of "The Voice" in the US, having already made a name for herself on YouTube, with one of the videos she's shared being "In Christ alone." According to the Gospel Herald, Gimmie described herself as a "full-on Christian who loves Jesus and loved His Word, and sang for Jesus." She was signing autographs after performing at a concert with her band before you exit at the Plaza Live theater in Orlando, Floriida, when a man carrying two guns came up to her and shot her. Her brother tackled the suspect, who then fatally shot himself. Christina Grimmie, 22, was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition where she died a few hours later.

I just wanted us to take the time to remember her and her family, and the family of the perpetrator as well that God may use this to show Himself to many. How do you think this could impact society for God, despite its horrific waste of life.?

"Lord, I ask you to be with the families of both parties, and Lord help those people whom are suffering with ideas roaming in their head even, yet still, in society whom may feel like doing such a travesty. Help stop them from following thru with it, in Jesus name I pray Amen."

Thank God Her brother helped save others possibly, but this was a troubled mind, obviously, in Kevin James Loibl who committed the murder. May God be with all the survivors and families.

I don't often say that something is heartbreaking, but this is. It just isn't right. She definitely blessed those she was around. Praying for her family, that God may bring them peace.

This was the first video of her I've seen on YouTube. I've been a fan of her since.

My prayers are with her family. Comfort and strength through all of this.

But in addition to her family, I too wish the shame of his is graced with Gods love. His judgement has been rendered, but in the wake of his collaboration with Christina Sam Tsui sings another song that is apropos to both of their situations, dying young is a tragedy, unless dying has lost its sting. If death has lost its victory we all can honor each others lives regardless of the timeliness of our passings:

I don't think this is one of her more polished song covers, but it shows her vulnerability and simple joy of life in her personality. For anyone who is in the 22 year old arena of life it is a reminder that - "Today is the day of Salvation." Praise Our Father for giving mercy to us all....and to Christina, "Thank you for being you in Christ!" Amen:

I had never heard of this young woman till yesterday. Today, someone posted a video on FB of her singing "In Christ Alone." She had a beautiful voice with awesome range and colour. And she was on pitch the whole time. As a singer and professional musician in the past, I was so sad to see such an amazing young talent taken so early in life.

I know she is singing praises to God right now, but I mourn the loss of someone who I didn't know existed before yesterday. I will be praying for her family especially the brother at this time of grieving.
