“When Lehi clung to the rod of iron, which represented the word of God, he was eventually led to the tree of life, which represented the love of God, and once tasting it, he exclaimed that it was “sweet above all that [he] ever before tasted” (1 Nephi 8:11).
There is nothing as sweet and delicious to the experience of man than this coming to God.
No amount of food, money to spend or physical demonstration of desire or affection from another mortal can even hint at it (1 Corinthians 2:9).”
