I musaganize kuti ndi ine ndekha. Ndimamva kuchokera kwa akulu ndi akulu omwe: nthawi ikuwoneka kuti ikufulumira. Ndipo, pamakhala masiku ena ngati kuti wina amangoyimilira ndi zikhadabo m'mphepete mwa chisangalalo. Mmawu a Fr. Marie-Dominique Philippe:

Tikulunjika kumapeto kwa nthawi. Tsopano pamene tikuyandikira kutha kwa nthawi, ndipamenenso timachita mwachangu kwambiri - izi ndizodabwitsa. Pali, monga momwe zinalili, kuthamangira kofunikira kwambiri munthawi; pali mathamangitsidwe mu nthawi monganso pali mathamangitsidwe liwiro. Ndipo timapita mwachangu komanso mwachangu. Tiyenera kuyang'anitsitsa izi kuti timvetsetse zomwe zikuchitika mdziko la masiku ano. -Mpingo wa Katolika pa Mapeto a M'badwo, Ralph Martin, tsa. 15-16

Tiyenera kukhala otchera khutu chifukwa choopsa ndichoti tilora kugwidwa ndi kamvuluvulu wa kuchita ndi kukokeredwa ku mphepo zonyenga za Mkuntho Waukulu uwu umene wafikira pakhomo la anthu—kuti alowereredwe mu zododometsa miliyoni imodzi, ntchito chikwi, zikhumbo zana… ndi kutali ndi chinthu chimodzi chofunika kwambiri: Mulungu ndiye woyamba.

St. John Paul II analemba kuti:

Yathu ndi nthawi yakuyenda mosalekeza yomwe nthawi zambiri imadzetsa mpumulo, ndi chiopsezo "chofuna kuchita". Tiyenera kukana mayeserowa poyesa "kukhala" tisanayese "kuchita". —POPA JOHN PAUL II, Novo Milenio Ineunte, n. Zamgululi

Ndizowona: tili mu Mkuntho Waukulu pa nthawi ino, motero, ndikofunikira kuti ife thawira, zomwe ziri zofanana ndi kunena, "kupuma mwa Mulungu" kapena "kukhala." Koma bwanji? Tsiku lililonse ndimapeza zinthu zambiri zomwe zikupikisana ndi nthawi yanga. Sikuti zinthu zina sizofunika. Koma chomwe chili chofunikira ndikuwongolera zomwe ndimakonda. Ndipo zimayamba ndi kupanga Mulungu kukhala woyamba.

Muthange mwafuna Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chilungamo chake, ndipo zonse zimenezo [zimene mukufunikira] zidzawonjezedwa kwa inu. ( Mateyu 6:33 )

Ngati chinthu choyamba chomwe ndimachita ndikadzuka m'mawa ndikuwerenga nkhani, fufuzani imelo, sungani Facebook, jambulani Twitter, fufuzani pa Instagram, kuyankha mameseji, kuwerenga nkhani zambiri, kuyimbanso mafoni… chabwino, sindinayike Mulungu patsogolo . M’malo mwake, tiyenera kudzisonkhanitsa tokha m’maŵa, kuyang’ana kupyola nkhalango ya zododometsa ndi ziyeso, ndi kuyang’ana maso athu pa “Yesu, Mtsogoleri ndi wangwiro wa chikhulupiriro.” ^[1]onani. Ahe 12: 2 Mpatseni Iye maminiti khumi ndi asanu oyambirira… ndipo ziyamba kusintha moyo wanu.

Chifundo cha Yehova sichileka, chifundo chake sichidzatha; ndi zatsopano m'mawa uliwonse… M'mawa mumandimva; m’maŵa ndipemphera kwa inu, kudikira ndi kuyembekezera. ( Maliro 3:22-23; Salimo 5:4 )

Kotero tsopano, mukuyamba tsiku lanu mwa Ambuye. Tsopano, mumakhala “nthambi” yolumikizidwa ndi “Mpesa” yemwe ndi Yesu, kuti “mwazi” wa Mzimu Woyera uyenderera mwa inu. Ndiko kusiyana kwa ambiri, tsiku lililonse, pakati pa moyo wauzimu ndi imfa.

Ine ndine mpesa, inu ndinu nthambi zake; Yense wakukhala mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa iye, adzabala chipatso chambiri, chifukwa popanda Ine simungathe kuchita kanthu. (Juwau 15: 5)

[Atate] samagawira mphatso yake ya Mzimu. (Uthenga Wabwino wa Today)

Kufunafuna choyamba chilungamo chake ndiye, sikungofuna Iye m’pemphero, koma kufunafuna lake nditero, Iye njira, lake dongosolo. Ndipo izi zikutanthauza kukhala ngati mwana, kusiyidwa, kudzipatula my tidzatero, my njira, wanga chikonzero. Ichi ndi chimene chimatanthauza kukhala “wolungama” m’Malemba: kukhala munthu amene amaima wodzipereka, wodekha, ndi womvera ku chifuniro choyera cha Mulungu. Koma taonani zomwe malonjezo ali kwa “olungama”:

Pamene olungama akulira, amawamva, ndipo amawapulumutsa m'masautso awo onse. (Lero Salmo, 34)

Ndiponso,

Masautso a wolungama achuluka, koma Yehova amlanditsa mwa onsewa.

Mukuwona, Yehova sanapulumutse ena a inu ku mayesero anu chifukwa simunaphunzire kuika Mulungu patsogolo. Chimwemwe chanu chimadalira pakuyika kudalira kwanu konse pa Iye. Ndipo amafuna kuti mukhale osangalala! Ndikubwereza:

Yesu akufuna, chifukwa akufuna kuti tikhale ndi moyo wosangalala. -POPE JOHN PAUL II, Uthenga wa Tsiku la Achinyamata Padziko Lonse wa 2005, Vatican City, Ogasiti 27, 2004, Zenit.org

Iye akufuna kuti inu mukhale sangalala!

Ngati musunga malamulo anga, mudzakhala m’cikondi canga, monga Ine ndasunga malamulo a Atate wanga, ndipo ndikhala m’cikondi cace. Izi ndalankhula ndi inu, kuti chimwemwe changa chikhale mwa inu, ndi kuti chimwemwe chanu chikwaniritsidwe. Lamulo langa ndi ili, mukondane wina ndi mzake monga ndikonda inu. ( Yohane 15:10-12 )

Chotero, tsopano tikuwona kuti njira ya mtendere weniweni ndi chisangalalo—ngakhale mkati mwa Mkuntho uwu—ndi kuika Mulungu patsogolo, ndipo mnansi wanga wachiŵiri. Ndine wachitatu.

Pomaliza, kuika Mulungu patsogolo sikumachotseratu mitanda ndi mayesero a munthu, koma m’malo mwake, kumapereka chisomo chauzimu chonyamulira, kugonapo, ndi kupachika pa izo. Iyi ndi njira ya uzimu yomwe imatsogolera ku kusinthika kwenikweni, ku chiukitsiro cha munthu amene Mulungu adakupangani kukhala. ^[2]cf. Mulole Iye Adzuke mwa Inu Kodi izi si zimene Yesu ananena?

…mbewu ya tirigu ikagwa pansi ndi kufa, iyo ingokhala njere ya tirigu; koma ngati ifa, ibala chipatso chambiri. Iye amene akonda moyo wace adzautaya; ndipo iye wakudana ndi moyo wace m’dziko lino lapansi adzausungira ku moyo wosatha. ( Yohane 12:24-25 )

Muyenera kuika Mulungu patsogolo kuti mukhale ndi chiyembekezo chobala zipatso.

Chifukwa chake, popeza Khristu adamva zowawa m'thupi, mudzikonzere inunso mtima womwewo (pakuti iye amene akumva zowawa m'thupi walakwira tchimo), kuti musataye zotsalira za moyo wanu m'thupi pazilakolako za anthu, koma pa chifuniro za Mulungu. (1 Pet 4: 1-2)

Funafunani iye choyamba. Fufuzani lake Ufumu choyamba…osati ufumu wanu—Mulungu, Atate wanu, afuna kudzasamalira zimenezo.

Mtendere, chimwemwe, ndi pothawirapo… amayembekezera amene amaika Mulungu choyamba.
