MIRI JAZZ FESTIVAL
Watching the musicians from France, The Dites, I felt balanced and exhilarated.
Balanced?
Yes, I was rather affected by a friend’s comment that I shouldn’t think so much about religion.
Now I really don’t think I am thinking about religion.
But he was right.. I was thinking about it all the time.. like now…It’s late and I ought to be in bed and here I am typing a posting even though the net is stuck.
So I went to the Jazz festival to get balanced.
And guess what…God was there.
Yes I felt Him in the music and in the musicians.
I can’t say I felt Him in the audience.. well not in some of them..
But when I felt like dancing I could almost see God dancing too.
And I wondered why religion had divided us.
Where did religion come from? Not from God….
Do you know what I mean..?
Even Jesus had a problem with religion…
It was the religious leaders who rejected him.
Very telling I must say…
The next group was led by a South African guitarist.
For the life of me I didn’t know what he was singing.
But the music was hypnotic and prayerful.
Strange isn’t it….I wondered if anyone else felt that…
I wanted to lift my hands and worship…
But I only opened my palms in prayer as I always do when I feel the Holy Spirit.
Why was I was so happy…?
Was it the music?
Was it because I felt love?
He answered..because God was there…
