"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." - Psalm 34:8

Learning to Taste Again

Many of us grew up thinking that following God meant becoming more severe, more restricted, more serious about life. But what if the opposite is true? What if faith is actually about learning to taste the goodness of God again - to notice the abundance that surrounds us even when we thought everything had run dry? The best wine has been saved for last, and it's been saved for you. There's still more grace available, more joy to be discovered, more belonging to be experienced. God's love overflows right in the middle of ordinary life - at tables, in conversations, in everyday moments of connection.

This week, take time to truly taste the goodness around you. Notice where you assumed things had run dry but discover they're still flooded with possibility. Look for the places where God is offering more grace than shame, more joy than fear, more belonging than exclusion. There is still room at God's table. There is still more wine than anyone expected. And you - exactly as you are - have a place at this feast.


Reflection Question

Where in your life do you need to learn to taste God's goodness again instead of settling for spiritual severity?

Prayer

God, teach me to taste Your goodness in ordinary moments. Help me offer others a place at Your abundant table rather than rules or shame.
