The characteristic of God's children is their vision is upward! #santoshpoonen youtu.be/jeoTh-_A2x0
Summary
The speaker contrasts the downward focus of most creation—like dogs, chickens, and pigs—with the characteristic of God's children, which is an upward vision. He argues that most people are preoccupied with earthly concerns like money, friends, or immediate gratification. However, being born again lifts one's vision upward, changing one's focus.

Child-Like Dependence on God - Zac Poonen - June 30, 2013
Zac Poonen · Jul 2, 2013
The central message is that Christian maturity requires a paradoxical development: becoming childlike in dependence and innocence regarding sin, while simultaneously achieving maturity and discernment in understanding God's Word. The speaker emphasizes that being great in God's kingdom means adopting the heart of a child, which is free from grudges, worry, or the desire for earthly status. This childlike dependence is modeled after Jesus, who always acted in alignment with the Father's will.
