I wonder what Jesus has in mind?

Sometimes it's hard to get behind somebody's head. What in the world were they thinking? (Even that question can be read with different voice inflection to mean different things.) I have to remember what I know about Jesus - His words, His actions and Who He knows. I wonder what Jesus has in mi?

When I was a kid I sometimes wished I was in another person's shoes. Their life sure looked good! They had things I didn't and didn't have things I did. Much like the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, I was sure they must have it better. Of course, I grew up, found out that isn't always the case and, in reality, I didn't have I so bad. Then I read about the promises of God. I wonder what Jesus has in mind?

I've said in my life if I lose everything, I will still have family and friends. I hope I don't have to come to that place, but I know there are people in the world for whom that is true. I've dreamed of having to sleep in a shelter. At least it would be a shelter. Could I still be solid in my faith if I truly emptied myself? I wonder what Jesus has in mind?

Now I hear about being "fully present". Live in the moment and be what I can be in that moment. Hmm . . . I wonder what Jesus has in mind?
