An Acquired Taste
IllustrationStory★★★★A BOY went to the country to visit his aunt and uncle. One evening, he noticed his aunt enjoying a drink. “Hey, Auntie, what’s that you are drinking?” “Do you want to taste it?” “Sure!” The boy tasted it and found it to be the nastiest thing he’d ever tasted in his life. When he asked his aunt how she could bring herself to taste such terrible stuff, his aunt said, “Oh, I’ve acquired a taste for it.” Being filled with the Spirit may seem like quite a different experience, but if you taste it enough, you’ll like the effect, and you will acquire a taste.
The point
An unpleasant experience can become pleasant once you acquire a taste for it; similarly, the Spirit's filling may seem foreign until experienced repeatedly.
