The Taste of God

Jeanne & I read these word this morning from The Message in our devotions:

1 Peter 2:1-3
So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. 2 You've had a taste of God. 3 Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God.

I like the comment, "You've had a taste of God." Once we have a taste of something good, we want more. And the more we eat of our favorite food the healthier (or unhealthier) we become. Spiritually, what are you tasting? How is it changing you? for good? for worse? Peter points out that as we taste of God our talk changes. It becomes less hurtful and filled with kindness.
