[@j.bennette3390]

“I am unique and wonderful and I will go through.” Amen!!! - the wonderful words of Della Reese (Resting in Power)

[@Keonny77]

I like this... It's like listening to your grandmother. I love my seasoned black women! :) Only think better would've been if I were listening to it while choping on a piece of sweet potato pie! :)

[@NIOMI4U]

OMG...YEEEES!!!! LOL

[@alfredrrutherfordjr.3413]

Facts bro! or pound cake

[@cheenjoopearl]

Man! Wise elders are like an oxygen tank when this world gets so polluted that I don't think I'll be able to breathe again. I miss them being around and available when times are really tough.

[@poet82n]

My sentiments exactly! I've always been drawn to our elders since I was a child.

[@uriahblanks343]

You and I Both👂👀

[@Imissnormal]

Maybe we would be in a better place if our society listened to what older people say rather than young celebrities.

[@decemberdarling6058]

My goodness, this woman was a treasure. Wisdom defined. So heartbreaking that she is no longer with us. May God rest her soul. 🙏❤🙏.

[@sexyhair247]

She's so honest & wise; I take to heart what she says here

[@Revansmask17]

"God will help you hoan your talent" Said Ms. Reese. I can relate to that, one minute Im drawing like always did with my talents and the next thing I know Im drawing these rich detailed anime characters and then before I knew it, I drew at least a sixty page graphic novel and im this close to getting my graphic novel published and possibly relased into stores. God is awsome, he up my talent

[@dedrahopkins3798]

The Light Checking back in to make sure you're still pressing forward with your drawings!

[@uriahblanks343]

All Praises To Him☝🙌😊 Congrats & GOD Bless You!!!

[@zigzaggyp746]

This is Gold! So many of our people need to hear this and take it to heart. Trust in Christ and go forward in all God has set forth for your life. Let the haters and obstacles be stepping stones to the greatness God has for each of our lives.

[@poet82n]

Della Reese and Cicely Tyson, my two favorite actors, are now gone but their wisdom teaches me. Della is helping me right now with her words. I'm just in awe!

[@gs-xx8uv]

Smart lady. May she rest in peace.

[@81nitestan]

INTELLIGENT ,PROFOUND, POSITIVE, AMAZING ,TRUTHFUL . SINCERE etc.,,, I wish I could hug her!!!

[@sistersotrue28]

Amen. God Bless, no truer words have been spoken

[@MyTonyrobert]

Trust GOD

[@BURNS2011able]

Oh my such wisdom. So posed and straight forward with love.

[@tinamiller2325]

I pray that young people today would. Take this to heart.

[@62dorell0709]

This is good advice for all of us...

[@uriahblanks343]

Amen

[@davidverettemboob8433]

I'm so happy to hear her say this.

[@zakiahart3919]

Words of wisdom 🙌

[@bosslady1188]

Love it, love it, love it. I steady myself daily, to be a seasoned woman, just as my mother * r.i.h., and all of these greats here, that have gone on before me..* rest peacefully Mrs. Della Rease, gone but never forgotten ever... 💔 😢

[@mbyrd6713]

Well said, we all need to hear this ❤️

[@skylatoms145]

Spoken like a true queen

[@thelivinglegend1928]

I miss Della 😢❤️ 💐

[@AeliciaMechele]

I love her!

[@snobbypolitics7792]

I needed to hear this.

[@MadamKitt]

I absolutely Love this ....Trust God really trust him

[@bessieedington9271]

Amen, Della!!!you are so right!!!

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

It doesn't matter what place in the world your in or what people you come from. Every child can use some wisdom with love from someone like Della.I was lucky to have lots of older people that took time to help me through life. The thing is I was smart enough to slow down and take the time to listen. I'm white and my parents taught me learn good thing's from everyone and about everybody we never cared what color rich or poor. Just enjoy good people. If I saw her today just like when I was a kid I would want to hug her.

[@ketofitforlife2917]

Trust Him! AY GLORY!!! Yes m'am!

[@lamarrtownsendtarot]

Amen. I needed this video.

[@chantiaunique]

she was so beautiful when she was younger (still is)

[@missdaisy5736]

Deeply respect Della. She is telling the truth and I miss her not being here. But, can you just imagine Della in Heaven? I think it is an awe inspiring sight. And her service to God has to be unique and special, just like her! Love you Della! Help us here cause Trump is giving away our money to rich folks, and leaving the poor, sick and elderly in a very bad position.

[@tinytowz4471]

there's ever a Della Reese biopic, I think Tachina Arnold from "Ryan's Hope", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Martin", & "Everybody Hates Chris" could play her.🎬🎤🎼

[@nr30199]

Really why? Because they don't look, act, or sing alike.

[@bajaborracho9139]

Della Reese is nobody's victim. God will give you all the tools you need but its up to you to get it done! What an inspiration she is...

[@ninadancer88]

Wonderfully inspiring !!!! and truth total truth:)

[@786humaira1]

I love the spirit of this lady. What a monumental achievement and contribution to society by her. Great Humanitarian. Starting life with according to her own saying wearing shoes stuffed with newspaper so her feet will not get cold to mesmerising hundreds and thosands of her listeners to her songs, to studying to become a ordained minister.and to having her own church and guiding people from the pulpit. !!. Amazing grace. This is all a mother can do to a child. Della describes her mother to be religious person. Della became a great humanitarian herself. If a child develops to be good human being I give credit to the child but equally if not more so the parents.. She developed MARVELLOUS skills in her of singing , comedy and acting and she used it for common good.she showed how to be optimistic while being a reverend in Church and on the television show " Touched by an angel , she did preach again how to be an angel of help to your fellow human being. All praise is to God for creating a human of this Heart and Mind a CITIZEN of the world. Muslim Youth need to think and get benefitted from her example and advise. Muslims these days are treated as second class citizens many a times, but need to learn to kick the door open or windows open or both by the WILL of GOD.

[@starslite5679]

Love her

[@adrianlawuary9768]

Awesome

[@jodihertle5319]

I like Della. She loved the Lord and people too. She spoke truth!

[@phononut]

Rest in peace

[@DrewWasMe]

I AM A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD. That statement is our future. Its the only way. The best prophecy, Della, I am a citizen of the world.

[@powers1079]

[@lisaryherd4685]

Wow, she has a great opinion regarding her ethnicity !!!

[@AWinkandSmile]

Amen

[@ayonnazglam9050]

😍 Amen!!!

[@MrHonesttruth7]

This is one of my favorite clips on KZbin. Succinct, profound and inspirational. The part about trusting God says it all. I do have one critique though. At the 1:02 or 1:03 mark Della talks about "Oprah making enough money to feed the African children". I'm sure Oprah, like many millionaires and billionaires has given generously to SOME African children, but NOT all African children are starving with bloated bellies and flies swarming around them ( a stereotypical image of African children consistently shown by White media). Trust me, I've been to over 30 African countries. Out of the 1,810 billionaires in the world, 12 of them are black. 9 are AFRICAN and 3 are African American (Oprah Winfrey, Robert Smith and Michael Jordan). 5 are Nigerian. Nigerian cement tycoon Aliko Dangote is still the richest black person in the world by far with a fortune estimated at $14.4 billion, down from $15.7 billion last year. Even Aliko Dangote who is by far wealthier than Oprah Winfrey, Robert Smith and Michael Jordan combined, cannot "feed the African children" by himself; so we need to correct this image of Africa as a 'helpless' and 'dark' continent. Africa, with her 54 countries, is the RICHEST continent on the face of the planet and will inevitably overcome exploitation to become an economic powerhouse. Della's advise is still 'legit' though.

[@craigloomis20]

the thing about women like this is that don't have to say much to tell you a lot.

[@corneliuswhite5139]

Wow.

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

You are absolutely insane.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

Do you mean Obumma?

[@lighttheway4694]

No. YOU are hateful and YOU harbor anger, resentment and lies. YOU are the opposite of what Ms. Reese was talKing about. No doubt you are now a member of Cult45 and worship the Orange AntiChrist.
