"O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." Psalm 34:8
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
Everything we receive we must give. The Lord requires us to act justly, to love mercy and walk humbly with Him. (Micah 6:8) We can glorify the Father by letting our light shine, ( Matt. 5:16) and we are instructed, when we have the opportunity, to be good to all people. (Galatians 6:30)
I remember reading that St. Francis said to his followers, "Go out and preach the Gospel; if necessary, use words."
I still love that.
"If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is a sin for them." James 4:17
Being good and kind and just is the right thing to do in any situation. Being Christ-like is required for the journey to be heaven bound.
We've also been taught The Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Old advice that still rings true today.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to rest and approve
what God's will is - His good, pleasing and
perfect will.

"Taste and see..." An interesting phrase. Sounds like a place to pause and have a deep think, eh?
