Yes, Jesus Loves Me

 For about the third time, somebody keeps taking down the gospel of Whitney. One of the songs is Yes, Jesus Loves me. When I want to come to my blog and listen as I write, sometimes I want to hear it or see Whitney perform it. The devil is busy. Whitney is gone and she’s still got him walking up and down to and fro. For some reason, though she’s gone, he ain’t satisfied. He still mad. 😏

Whitney and Her Family Brought Some Hope

YouTube

 The night I saw Whitney singing Wonderful Counselor with her mom and brother, I'll never forget the happy spirit my mom had. My mom would shout, "Sing Y'all!" My mom loved gospel music, and she knew what the songs were all about. We both watched Whitney and her family sing. My mom would say something like, " Look at them people out there in the audience. They are enjoying that." My mom said some other things. She had me thinking about me, my brother, and her doing things together, and what was it about Whitney and her mom that seemed so much like me and my mom? And because of Whitney's mom being  a lady in the church, I felt that Whitney was a winner. She looked like she had a good mother behind her. Whitney's family appeared to love the church. They brought some hope. I had never seen anyone in the music business like Whitney. 

I know that Whitney is gone. I know for sure that my mom is gone because I saw her die. But why do I feel from God that it's not over yet? He doesn't like for me to say that my mom is gone. He didn't want me to worry about the death of Whitney. Well, all I can say that in God there is always hope. We've got to trust and believe in him. We don't know what God might do. He's got all power. People make mistakes but that doesn't always mean we fail. 

Whitney and Dottie Rambo

From YouTube

Whitney won a Dove Gospel Award for singing, I Go To The Rock. The Lady standing beside her (Dottie) in the picture wrote the song and she also sung it. Dottie said, "I thank God for a voice like Whitney Houston."

I believe that Whitney was made for Gospel. I believe that God allowed her to sing decent love songs too without taking away her gift to make great hits and albums. People loved Whitney's Gospel even though she sung pop or R&B. I think it was accepted more from her than other singers like Sam Cook. People just loved Whitney no matter what she sung. She was allowed to do both. I may be wrong, but it seemed like the gospel audiences were harder and strict in Sam Cook's day on whether you sung gospel or rock-n-roll. The Gospel audience as well as the rock-n-roll audience accepted Whitney.
