Today’s five minute Friday word is intentional. Five minute Friday is all about a five minute freewrite on a word prompt provided for us by Miss Kate. Join us won’t you? It’s a great time of encouragement and refreshment.
Intentional, A Poem
I quietly sit
Pondering a word
Staring at me from a
computer screen.
Intentional it says,
Tell me what it means.
How does this word
Impact you today?
Intentional means
to do it on purpose,
to think your actions through,
to have a plan
To have a reason.
What then should my intentions be?
To educate?
To study?
To boast of my accomplishments?
To what end do I write?
The longer I live
The more I see.
This life isn’t mine to determine.
Intentionally I need to seek
A higher power.
To understand this God
who created all.
This God of grace, who
also has a fierce anger.
Whose love holds me in the
palm of his hand.
This God of grace who
INTENTIONALLY sent his Son to die
Who knew from the very beginning
this sacrifice would have to be made.
So if this God,
Who I profess to love.
Could intentionally plan
the death of his own,
of his beloved boy.
What less could I give
but to choose to
INTENTIONALLY live for him?
