The mere presence of these two words on the packaging admits that the product may not deliver. With God, there is no risk. We are offered a relationship of the most magnificent possibility, with the absolute certainty that He will never disappoint.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Psalm 34:8
Geerhardus Vos notes in his sermon THE WONDERFUL TREE that God longs for a relationship with Israel that involves "sublime abandon." God gives himself away with "neither restraint nor reserve."
"Using human language, one might say that God enters into this (his enthusiasm to have a relationship with us) heart and soul and mind and strength."
"Since God thus gives himself to his people for fruition, (he is the source of our fruitfulness) and his resources are infinite, there is no possibility of their ever craving more or seeking more of him than it is good for them to receive."
"To deprive religion of this by putting it upon the barren basis of pure disinterestedness (Vos is annoyed here by unnamed critics who assume that God could care less whether we commune with him or not), is not merely a pretence to be wiser than God; it is also an act of robbing God of his own joy through refusing the joy into which he has, as it were, resolved himself for us."
"So, far from being a matter of gloom and depression, religion is its true concept is an exultant state, the supreme feast and sabbath of the soul."
So how about you? Are you ready to say with the Psalmist "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:23-24
