Strawberries in the winter...I love strawberries, so when i saw these beauties at the store, I was quick to grab a few cartons. As I carefully washed and prepared to cut them, the anticipation to take a taste overwhelmed me, so I plopped large berry into my mouth.
Ughhhh! It was bitter! I thought to myself, "You should have known better than to buy strawberries in the
winter! Not wanting to trash the beauties, I went to my natural "go to" when things don't taste right. SUGAR A little sugar just makes everything taste better, and it did.
8 "Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." (Psalm 34:8)
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." (Psalm 34:8)
Since Adam and Eve decided that they didn't "need" God, and a life of independence and knowledge would suffice, our lives as humans have been like the berries without the sugar. We may look beautiful on the outside, appetizing, and desirable, but without the sweetening of Jesus in our lives, we just taste bitter.
Add the sweetening of Jesus to your life today!
