Some things in life are an acquired taste. Coffee, black licorice, sushi — the more you experience them, the more you begin to appreciate their richness. Our walk with God is the same. The more we trust Him, the more we see His goodness. “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” David wrote. You can’t know His sweetness until you experience Him for yourself.

Generosity is the same; it’s an acquired taste. We’re born with a taste to take, but when we’re born again, we’re reborn with a taste to give. In the Hebrew, the word generous means “of noble birth and noble character.” That means when you’re born into God’s family, generosity isn’t just something you do — it’s who you are. Noble people act differently. They rise above pettiness, overlook insult, and live openhandedly, knowing everything they have came from God.

When you live with that kind of noble spirit, you begin to experience the goodness of God on a deeper level. Life becomes richer. Your heart lighter. Your faith stronger. Because every time you trust, obey, and give, you’re tasting more of who God is — and finding out that His goodness never runs out.

Just a thought,
