Eternal is a British R&B group that started in 1992. The original members were sisters Easther and Vernie Bennett, along with Kéllé Bryan and Louise Nurding, who was later known as Louise Redknapp. They were brought together by a record label. The group became famous worldwide, selling about 10 million records. Nurding left to focus on her solo career, and Bryan left for reasons that were not explained in 1998. After that, only the Bennett sisters remained, and the group broke up in 2000. They briefly reunited in 2013 with Bryan returning, but broke up again in 2014. Some people saw them as the British version of the American girl group En Vogue.

[@leenieledejo6849]

Even before I was born again, I remember hearing this when I was young and when BeBe (who I didn't know at the time comes from a Christian Gospel family) comes in, it made me think he was speaking the words of God. YEARS later, I read the New Testament and some of the words mirror what's written eg. Psalm 34:8, Luke 4:18, John 3:16, 10:10, .15:5, Acts 26:18... And 1st John 4:8: "God is Love". Everything He says and does stems from His heart, which is Love i.e wanting the best for us ❤🙏
