Something's missing

Is there something missing from your life? If not, you can probably remember a time when you felt that way. John Mayer wrote a song on this subject. Check out the words here.

He pretty much covers it all in that song. I know that I felt all of those things. I felt alone even when I wasn't, I'd buy myself stuff and that didn't fill the emptiness, drinking didn't help (usually made it worse) and the company of the opposite sex did nothing for me. Nothing in this world would fill the void that I felt inside.

I should clarify that the empty feeling started about 2 years before my ex-wife and I separated. I thought it was all about her and the deterioration of our marriage. I was wrong and I found that out just before the divorce was final. I realized that what was missing was a relationship with Christ. When I accepted Him into my life He filled that empty space that had been nagging me for several years.

Now, I don't know whether John Mayer is a Christian or not. What is obvious is that he knows or has, at least, known that feeling of something being missing. I'd tell him what I learned, He needs Jesus.

How about you? Do you feel like something is missing that you just can't put a finger on? Then call out to Jesus and ask Him to enter your life. He'll fill that emptiness and make you whole. Once you've done that then you can...

...enjoy the ride.

God bless,
