We must develop a taste for spiritual things

“Happy are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”

Spiritual tastes, like physical tastes, can be cultivated. I didn’t always like yogurt, but they told me that it was good for me, so I kept trying to like it- and now I enjoy it.

It will not perhaps be easy at first to read the bible, witness, and pray. But after we experienced the strength that can come from these means of grace, they will become part of our routine, as much as breathing and eating. These are the things that give strength to the soul.
