Whitney Houston!!! The Gifted!

By now, not only has a Pop Queen Super Star passed away but at this time has been laid to rest.  I was talking to my wife this afternoon, that with all of the negative things that have transpired in Whitney Houston's life I am not sure I want to know what the cause of her death was.

Whitney, was a beautiful and very gifted singer who like many stars was being pulled in good and bad directions.  She made some very good career decisions while many of us would not agree with some very serious and public, personal life decisions.  What happened?  What caused her death?  If its part of the same narrative many of us are probably assuming, I don't think I want to know!

Proverbs 18:16 (KJV)
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

A man or a woman's talent is definitely from God and Whitney knew at a young age what her gift was and it made room for her.  It put her in front of very great people and powerful people that could change her life and it did.  The sad part of Whitney Houston is that her gift had so much more in store including acting.  Though she has been buried, she didn't bury her gift in the earth.

Where is your gift?  Do you even know what it is? Has it made room for you?  Has it brought you before great men?  If you don't know the answers to these questions, this is actually a whole lot sadder than Whitney's story.  At least she lived in her gift and didn't bury it!
