Something Missing
Yoga, meditation, Eastern religions — Steve was deeply involved with them all. Still a student himself, he was organizing and teaching classes in meditation and yoga to other college students. Still, there was something missing.
Finally Steve left school to give his time to studying the Eastern writings, going more and more into yoga and “deep meditation.” A year later he still had to admit that something was missing. Then he received a letter from a former classmate, saying, “Jesus is the only Way!” How different this was! Steve spent the whole day praying that, if that were true, God would show him. He went out that evening and stood by the roadside with his thumb out for a ride. A van pulled over. Steve was barely seated when the driver asked, “Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?”
Steve didn’t even hesitate. “No,” he answered, “but I’m ready to!” Right then and there he accepted God’s offer of salvation through the person and work of Christ. No longer is “something missing” in Steve’s life. The Lord Jesus has filled that emptiness, and his time is spent in telling others of the One who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
