David Powlison (Seeing With New Eyes, Chapter 2)
"The fruits of intimate power become evident. God's children learn humility and patience, becoming less and less headstrong and opinionated as we walk in the light. We are given people with gifts of love and truth to shepherd and teach us, visible and audible demonstrations of God's power. We learn more and more to love, and less and less to be embittered, angry people. We learn to lie with sexual and financial purity, less and less driven by sordid self-interest. We learn wise speech, becoming more and more able to strengthen others with a timely word. We learn to give money to meet others' needs, and we experience the generosity of others to us. In all this and more, the power of the living God who raised Christ now infuses the people of Christ."
