Psalm 34 says Taste and see how good the Lord is; blessed the one who takes refuge in him.
Both tasting and seeing are used figuratively, of course, but imply good emotions brought on by taking hold, as it were, of the Lord. Our challenge is-to make God so real, we are able to have that tangible relationship with him. Impossible? No. Just demanding.
This physical relish of God is the expected result of constant seeking. It is the realm of the mystic. It is possible for any christian.
Taste and see. Taste and see, the goodness of the Lord. I've always loved that hymn. Perhaps its because I believe it possible.
