Taste and see that I am good. The more intimately you experience Me, the more convinced you become of My goodness. I am the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. I am training you to find Me in each moment and to be a channel of My loving Presence. Sometimes My blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know My goodness only through your trust in Me. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to Me.
Thank Me for the gift of My Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When I appeared to My disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that I communicated first of all. I knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. I also speak Peace to you, for I know your anxious thoughts. Listen to Me! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear Me more clearly. I designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to Me; receive My Peace.
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.- Psalm 34:8
So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her...[The Living One who sees me].- Genesis 16:13-14
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"- John 20:19
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.- Colossians 3:15

I am calling you to a life of thankfulness. I want all your moments to be punctuated with thanksgiving. The basis for our gratitude is My sovereignty. I am the Creator and Controller of the universe. Heaven and earth are filled with my glorious Presence.
When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you could run the world better than I do. From your limited human perspective, it may look as if I'm mismanaging things. But you don't know what I know or see what I see. If I pulled back the curtain to allow you to view heavenly realms, you would understand much more. However, I have designed you to live by faith, not by sight. I lovingly shield you from knowing the future or seeing into the spirit world. Acknowledge My sovereignty by giving thanks in all circumstances.
And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."- Isaiah 6:3
We live by faith, not by sight.- 2 Corinthians 5:7
Gives thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.- 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Be blessed all the days of your life,
