I've done a lot of different things in my life ... but not one of the places that I gone, moments I've experienced or things that I have done/"tasted" can even come close to the greatest thing I have ever "tasted" ... the hope, the love and the relationship I have in Jesus Christ.
I understand that many people don't understand what I mean because Jesus is so often grouped into a "religion" or "belief" system ... but Jesus isn't Santa Claus, Harry Potter, or Gandhi.
Jesus is far more than a religion, a belief system, or fictional characters.
Jesus is love. Jesus is hope. Jesus is life it's self. And from the moment I "tasted", in a metaphorical sense, Jesus ... life itself was beyond any type of illumination, enlightenment or anything else that I could ever attempt to describe or depict to you with words, pictures, or illustrations. The closest thing I can think of (which totally downplays it) is the transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly ... once crawling ... now flying!
Jesus is the real deal!
I say all this because I know first hand, having "tasted and seen that the LORD is good". The loving relationship I have with God through him is soooo good. To save you from the long list of things I've done in my life that "felt great" and experientially was very "exciting, fun, and thrilling" ... I tell you the truth ... nothing compares to a relationship with God (by faith and a choice of love) in Jesus Christ.
So ... I'll leave you with this: Give Jesus a shot ...
What do you have to lose? I've tried a lot of things and I know you have as well ... so what's the "fear" with "tasting" Jesus. I challenge your heart to try out Jesus ... and say afterwards ... "nah ... I'm cool". Honestly ... it won't happen!
So although this isn't the best blog I've written ... I just wanted to burst out some of my joy, peace , and love that I have from my relationship with Jesus Christ onto this page ... in hopes that you might take a chance and see what I mean. I pray that you do ...
The first step to this: read the book of John with an open heart. (Found in the bible!)
Two: Make your stance ... and then you will see what I mean ... :)

Three: Ask others who "know" Jesus .... and witness their joy and transformational testimonies.
Lastly ... I want you to know that I share this with you ... because I want all to experience this great love and joy that I have in my relationship and hope in Jesus Christ aka God's Son and the only bridge to God.

PSALM 34 -- verses 2-8,10
2 My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
