You should try it.You might like it!
Try it. You’ll like it.Try it. You’ll like it.Try it. You’ll like it.Try it. You’re gonna like it.
I know it’s new, and you’ve never tasted it.You’ll just have to trust in me.Just give it a try.
The lyrics above are from the song "Try It, You'll Like It", which comes from the TV show, Yo Gabba Gabba. For those of you who have kids and watch Nick Jr., the song and the characters in the above photo will be quite familiar to you. For those who are not familiar, the song is a way to teach kids to try new food in which they have never tasted. What better way to engage kids in trying something new than with education through music?!
You know how kids, as well as some adults, can be. We are quick to look at something we've never eaten before and say we don't like it. It's easy to do, especially if it is not appealing from the outside. After all, appearance is what gives us our first impressions. It is this same appearance and feeling that people get when they view followers of Christ. With so much going on in the world and with the actions from those who supposedly love the Lord, it is no wonder why someone else would not want to believe on Him. I know because I was one of those people who judged for myself that being a Christian was not for me because of what I observed of those who claimed to be Christians. I can admit, for me the appearance was not looking good, but as with everything a couple of bad apples can seemingly spoil it for a bunch.
"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him" (Psalm 34:8). You have to get past the display to give it a try for yourself. Until you get to that point, you can never claim to have formulated a decision based off of own experience of "taste". You have to be curious enough to want to try Him for yourself, despite what you see around you. "I know it's new, and you've never tasted it", but you will just have to give it a try it. "You might like it!"
