Taste and see

“Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!”Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In summer in Nepal we enjoy tucking into jackfruit. It’s ugly exterior does not look inviting but inside is a succulent feast.

When you read this scripture all your previous experiences with the church come to mind and if they were very bad, you will baulk and turn away. However, finding a relationship with Jesus makes life so much better that all religious nonsense pales and disappears.

I was raised a Catholic and attended the church regularly. Unfortunately, I did not find Jesus there. I sought Him desperately there but to no avail. I found Him in my bedroom with a friend praying for me. That friend sought the Lord about where to take me and He directed her to a pentecostal church she had been attending. I flourished there.

The result of me seeking the Lord was well rewarded. I was baptised in water and in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is my constant companion.

I can readily say, “taste and see that the Lord (not religion) is good, He so waiting to know you!”
