Inside Job

If actions don't always follow your words,
or what people expect of you in their minds to be discerned,
does that devalue the words that are spoken?,
for if we all fall short, trust is constantly broken,
what if the gift entailed to inspire,
with a simple life of responsibility to equipped an entire....generation to come, to be,
to turn hearts back to God through relations you can't see,
must your eyes always match what your ears hear?,
is it about trusting more in others, or trusting that God is here,
right now, speaking, still inspiring,
to bring broken hearts out of hiding,
if the thought of doing wrong is as if it's already done,
wouldn't it be the same for the good unseen done in your heart,
for inside exercising while our world is dying,
the workout you can't see,
but through faith in finding.
