Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Psalm 34:8 (NKJV)
Drink deeply of the pleasures of God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who hide themselves in him.
Psalm 34:8 (TPT)
One year at Christmas, I had a friend who told me, “Jesus is like pumpkin roll. It tastes so good you can’t keep it to yourself. You want to share it with everyone!”
For those of you who don’t know, pumpkin roll is a sweet roll of confection deliciousness. And I agree wholeheartedly. God is good, and Jesus is so sweet I want everyone I know to share in His sweetness.
I used to get so confused as to how people could not want Him. Then it dawned on me. They haven’t tasted Him yet. They haven’t experienced Him. They haven’t had a personal encounter with His mercy and goodness and love. Once you do, you’re hooked and you want everyone around you to taste and see what has set you free.
Let’s pray together.
PRAYER POINTS FOR ME

- Father, help me share Your goodness with those around me by pouring Your love through me.
- Father, fill me so thoroughly with Your love and grace today that when I am under pressure, You are all that comes out.
