How Will I Know?
Virginia Salter

In the mirror is this face
a face I see each day
not much change is witnessed
save what’s wrought with age

So how do I know
He’s made a difference there
a woman, a man is all I see
with graying, thinning hair

Or maybe the one I view
is but a child green and meek
in what way can I know
I’m filled with Whom I seek?

How can I go forth
spouting truths found in Your word
When will I know
they believe what they have heard?

What will I see
to prove I’ve done Your will?
Have faith, my child,
believe, listen and be still.

Glad you enjoyed, that answer is supposed to be from the Lord, I was so hoping that would come across, but was certainly unsure I'd written well enough that it would.

Just a "little word" from God will go a long way in helping us to know that we are His and in His will... and your character (that which I have read) confirms it all very well for me.  I have no doubt of Him in you.  Bob <><

A lot of good questions put forth here.

If we are following what God has spoken in the Bible to us, then we are doing His will.
Sometimes we plant a seed and get to see it grow. Sometimes we don't.

But everything you do in the name of Jesus for another is all part of God's will.

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD

This is a question I ask myself a lot. One day we will see him face to face. The most important thing we can do is, his will. I feel I often fail, but he is faithful to his word. He says we have not, because we ask not. I want to be more like him, and maybe what you write is the key... be still and listen with faith to believe he will do what he said he will do.
Thank you for writing what my heart so much sees when I too look in the mirror.
