What is in a name?
Choosing a name is hard, whether it's for your child, your
business, or even your pet. It is an
important decision, and in many cases a decision you are left with forever. When we chose the name Taste and See Cakes
and Cupcakes for our business it was not just a cute title for our sweets, the
significance was much deeper than that. It
is our belief and our conviction. We
found our name in Psalm 34:8, which says, "Taste and see that the Lord is
good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." (NIV)
You see, this is a fundamental truth in our relationship with Jesus Christ. As born again Christians we seek to live our lives to bring honor and glory to God. We seek to learn His commands, obey Him, to rely on Him, and experience this wonderful life He has blessed us with- even though we are completely undeserving. We intend to seek refuge in Him no matter what the circumstances of our life; not merely praising Him when times are good and forsaking Him when things get rough, but holding on to His truths and promises no matter what life brings. We know that there are promises, truths, and hope fulfilled in scripture. Every word is God breathed and entirely accurate. "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him" is a promise. It is a promise of blessings to come when we trust Him with our lives. God loves us, He wants to bless us, and He promises us that our faithfulness and obedience to Him will not go unnoticed. Our God is a God of beauty and joy, and He wants us to delight in Him and His creation. The Lord is good, sweet friends, and we want to experience this deeply and personally, and for you to experience this deeply and personally too.
We are so blessed to have a Father who loves us, who wants to protect us and hold us, who wants us to seek refuge in HIM, and who wants to pour His blessings down on us. So please, taste and see that the Lord is good- take refuge in Him- place your faith and your trust in Him, and experience firsthand this incredible relationship He desires to have with you and me. If you don't have a personal, intimate relationship with Our Father, or you think you do (maybe you said a prayer when you were young) but haven't experienced this intimacy I am describing, please don't hesitate to talk to either one of us about it. After all, THIS is what we are ultimately here for. We are just temporary beings passing through this life, and this is not where we are meant to be forever. We want to share the love of Jesus and the hope of salvation with everyone we can, and we would love to make you a cake while we are doing it.
Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed Is the man who trusts in Him! (NKJV)
