Whitney Houston’s ‘Come-Through’

quoture

Whitney Houston appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show this week, giving her first tell-all interview in seven years. Over the course of two episodes, the singer, whom Oprah describes simply as “the voice,” explained how she let God’s gift slip away and how she got it back.

“I had done it all [...] I wasn’t remembering the gift that God had given me. I had the money. I had the cars. I had the house. I had the husband. I had the kid. And none of it was really that fulfilling. There was time [when] I was happy, but I needed my joy back–that peace that passeth all understanding. I needed that moment when I was three years old–that church thing; that thing that my mother gave me that I was born into. And I had thought it had gone…”

When Oprah asked Houston who she loved, the singer responded, saying

“The LORD. I do. I am so humbled and so thankful for His grace and His goodness. And for never giving up on me.”
