Justin Bieber’s Concert.
Yes. This is my first ever note. And the awkward thing is, it’s about Justin Bieber.
I came from his concert, in SM MOA Concert grounds where hundreds of fans gathered just to see him. They were so excited. Waited for the lines for hours. Bought shirts of him and souvenirs. Pins, caps, ballers and etc. Brought their friends, moms, even dads to the concert. They paid the ticket that is not really cheap. from P790 - P8000. And if I remember, the tickets were sold out. Imagine these girls, doing it for their idol. doing everything. just to see him. Just to SEE Him. But wait. Why am I there? Well, I was celebrating my sister’s birthday. Mom bought two Gold-A tickets. And she assigned me to be her chaperon. No choice, eh? Nope. I accepted because I want to see my sister happy ;) and to see POREOTICS :-bd
While were walking before the entrance, there was this huge crowd huddling in front of us. There, I saw the famous Justin Bieber. Then I looked to my sister, and she was like, ‘:O I can’t see him!’ Then I grabbed her waist and lifted her up. She was stunned. Literally. Then we moved on. As we passed by the entrance, tears suddenly came into her eyes. She was so happy. No. Glad. She was filled with gladness. I can see it in her eyes and tears. It’s like .. woah. That was the first time I saw her crying because of gladness. Tears of joy. Just.. wow.
We went to our seats and waited for like an hour. Even before the show starts, I heard many cheers of the crowd saying ‘Bieber! Bieber!’ or ‘AHHH!’ Then the lights shone. Poreotics came in. They performed. Taught us how to douggie and cat daddy. Then a Dj came out. They revealed the countdown timer. 15mins. I look to my sister and was really excited. Really. She was about to cry but I can feel that she’s holding it back.
3, 2, 1. Boom. All the girls were shouting at their loudest scream, my sister is doing it also. Then suddenly, she bursted out. Her eyes were soaking in wet. Even my seatmate. They were weeping! Literally. I just can’t imagine how this ‘Bieber’ entered their life. I mean, c’mon. He’s just a human like us. How can he get in in the lives of these girls, in these people? And this ain’t in the Philippines only, it’s like this in the whole world. How come? Why am I talking about Bieber?
I am just sooooooo curious how he makes this girls wept and shout to their hearts while in church they’re not? God is so powerful, soooooo majestic. But how come He ain’t got the same response from these girls the way they respond to Bieber?
I’m not just referring to Bieber, but to all the idols out there. Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Jabbawockeez, Katy Perry, and etc. Why is our reaction to God differs from our idols? Isn’t God who gave you eyes to see these idols? Isn’t God who gave you ears to hear them? Isn’t God who gave you money to buy their products? Isn’t God who gave you your things? your friends? your family? Isn’t God who gave you life? and Isn’t God who saved you from your own wrong doings and mistakes?
God freed you son. Just reminding you that. This note is not just a reminder but an eye-opener to those persons who put their idols in their hearts instead of God reigning over their lives. Praying for you friends. :)
