Gone too soon, But yet alive!
To my dearest sister Oluwaseni Olarenwaju Sarah Reis, I remember the day she was born and i held her in my arms, I was only 13, but I was so excited to finally have a younger sister. I remember the days we played together, Enter bus together along with David. Those little experiences thrilled you so much. I remember the little moments we shared here in Nigeria before she relocated to the UK. I hoped and prayed that one day, we would be reunited again.
That hope of reuniting with Oluwaseni is not shattered. Because I know that Seni though gone from this sinful world, is alive resting in a better place with our Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm particularly happy and challenged by the quality of life my sister lived. The testimonies I have heard as challenged and made me rethink my walk with God. Seni spoke and wrote to God Every day in the most simple and amazing way and there wasn't a day that passed by that She did not write to God. She talked to God about everything even the tiniest details of her life. Though She applied for a job here on earth, my darling sister got the role in heaven! Amazing right? Can you beat that?
She lived a fulfilled and quality life. The kind of life that was spent serving and honoring God. she served God with everything....her very being! Her life as simply challenged me and it should challenge everyone sitted here.
I would like everyone of us sitted here including myself to look in wards and examine our lives side by side as with that of Seni. Think about it, how many of us here have a dairy dedicated to God alone. How many of us serve whole heartedly? How many of us truly do bring Glory to God just by The way we live? This is the kind of life my sister lived. She really did live 22 fulfilling years. Perhaps her passing is another reminder that it is not how long, but how well. Perhaps some of us are still alive today simply because God is giving us a 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance.
I will employ us all to wipe the tears off our eyes, take out all the weight of this world that easily beseech us, and let's start living for God.
I charge us all to take a cue from Oluwaseni and follow her well laid example. May the Lord grant us wisdom and be with us all in Jesus name Amen.
Oluwaseni Sarah, I say thank you. You will forever remain in my heart. I know our Lord Jesus Christ is listening to this message and will deliver this to you.
Till we meet again, I love you.
Thank you
Oluwaseun Helen Reis
