If we are interested in something, we will make very good plans for it.  During this summer that is coming to an end, a lot of people had vacations in beautiful, sometimes far away places.  Surely a lot of effort went into planning those trips, taking care of even small details to assure the maximum enjoyment.  Of course, the first consideration was the budget, to assess if we have the means to afford what we want to do. 

     In the spiritual realm, to decide to become a disciple of Jesus demands a different kind of planning.  We might make a very detailed account of our possessions but it would not be to realize what we can do with them, but to surrender them.  God wants us to share what is ours or to give it away.  To be free from any attachment from what is rightfully ours and submit to God’s plans.   Because in God’s plans everybody’s well-being is considered, not only ours.  And the aim of God’s plans is our salvation.  This might take us along a way of radical reassessment of values and priorities.

     God only wants us to be attached to the really important things.  On our own we could become distracted and lose our way.  Trust God’s guidance.
