My parents and I went to see Jersey Boys tonight. I wasn't supposed to go but one of their friends dropped out last minute so they had an extra ticket. I actually didn't want to go, cuz honestly in my head I could think of so many other things to do that were so much better. But I ended up agreeing to go cuz I figured I should spend sometime with my parents and why waste a ticket?
It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life.
The whole time my spirit was in deep distress and agony. The Spirit was convicting me about everything surrounding the production and the people around me.
I don't think I enjoyed much of the show.
The plot of the story was about a bunch of guys who worshiped fame and music.
They ended up achieving great success in the world at the expensive of their families ...and their souls. They made music that people enjoyed for a few years and sorta forgot after awhile. The songs they wrote worshiped everything but the Living God. Every time a tragedy happened in the plot line I kept hoping that they would go search for the deeper meaning in their life and find JESUS except that never happened. They just ended up resolving to pursue even more fame and become even more successful. The end.
The environment in the theater had a heavy air of comfort and pleasure derived from materialistic carnal minds. The audience comprised of older upper middle class people come back to relive their youth with their families and young couples on dates. They worshiped the production, the spectacular show of lights and music to please their senses.
The whole time my soul screamed in anguish:
THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS WE WERE GIVEN THESE GIFTS TO WORSHIP THE LIVING GOD
HE IS SO MUCH BETTER
DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE WORSHIPING THIS JUNK
YOUR WORTH SO MUCH MORE
JUST OPEN YOUR HEART!
I'm I being too harsh?
I wish I wasn't, but honestly everyone either worships God or something else.
I'm not saying everyone there didn't worship God.
If we could only see what sin does to our soul
If we could see what worshiping idols does to us...
We would not take it so lightly.
Frankie Valli is still alive, I should pray for him
sigh* there's just SOOO much it feels overwhelming sometimes
Just give it to God
Just give it to God
He works
He works
cast all your anxieties on Him
