True children of our God pursue a continual, conscious conversational communion with Him, what Jesus referred to as abiding in Him and He in us.

The true children of our God walk daily in a life and power that is not their own.

The true children of our God walk daily in the fullness of joy that comes from the fullness of God in them.

While this is not all that will be visible in the life of a true child of our God, these major characteristics will be some of the moist visible.

And what an amazing, transformational, fruitful, and joyful life it is!
