tsiku 34
TSOPANO nayi chinthu, abale ndi alongo anga okondedwa: moyo wamkati, ngati buluni lotentha, ulibe umodzi, koma awiri zoyatsa. Ambuye wathu anali omveka bwino za izi pomwe anati:
Uzikonda Ambuye Mulungu wako… [ndipo] Uzikonda mnzako monga udzikonda iwemwini. (Maliko 12:33)
Chilichonse chomwe ndanena mpaka pano ndikukwera mu Mzimu kulumikizana ndi Mulungu zowauza kuti chowotcha chachiwiri chikuyatsidwa ndikuwomberanso. Chowotcha choyamba ndi kukonda Ambuye Mulungu wanu, zomwe timachita makamaka m'moyo wapakati wapemphero. Komatu Iye akuti, ngati mumandikondadi, “Dyetsani nkhosa zanga”; ngati umandikondadi, uzikonda mnzako amene anapangidwa m'chifanizo changa; ngati mumandikondadi, ndiye kudyetsani, kuvekani, ndi kuchezera Ine ngakhale mwa abale anu ochepa. Kukonda anzathu ndi chowotcha chachiwiri. Popanda moto wachikondiwu kwa winayo, mtima sukhoza kukwera mpaka kumwamba ndi mgwirizano ndi Mulungu chikondi ndi ndani, ndipo imangoyandama pamwamba, pamwamba penipeni pa zinthu zakanthawi.
Ngati wina anena kuti, “Ndikonda Mulungu,” koma adana ndi mbale wake, ali wonama; pakuti yense wosakonda mbale wake amene wamuwona, sakhoza kukonda Mulungu amene sanamuwona. Lamulo ndi ili lochokera kwa iye: kuti iye amene akonda Mulungu akondenso mbale wake. (1 Yohane 4: 20-21)
Moyo wamkati wamapemphero sikungoyitanidwa kokha zachiyanjano ndi Mulungu, koma a ntchito kupita kudziko lapansi ndikukoka ena mchikondi ndi mgonero. Chifukwa chake, zopsereza ziwirizi zimagwirira ntchito limodzi, chifukwa titha kungokonda ena ngati tidziwa kuti timakondedwa ndi chikondi chopanda malire, chomwe timachipeza mu ubale wapemphero. Titha kukhululukira ena tikadziwa kuti takhululukidwa. Titha kungobweretsa kuwala ndi kutentha za Khristu kwa ena pamene ife tokha takhudzidwa, tazingidwa, ndikudzazidwa ndi chikondi ndi chikondi chomwechi. Izi ndikutanthauza kuti pemphero limakulitsa "zibaluni" za mtima wathu, ndikupanga mpata chikondi-Chikondi chaumulungu chomwe chokha chitha kuboola zakuya za mitima ya anthu.
Ndipo kotero, amene amapita kwayekha ndikupemphera, kupereka misozi ndi mapembedzero kwa Mulungu ndi maola ambiri a kusinkhasinkha ndi kuphunzira… koma kenaka amapita kukhitchini mosakakamira, kuntchito kapena kusukulu ndi zilakolako zadyera, kapena amapita osauka ndi osweka- omvera osanyalanyaza… apeza lawi la chikondi, lomwe pemphero liyenera kuti linayatsa, posachedwa kutha ndipo mtima ukugweranso mofulumira.
Yesu sananene kuti dziko lapansi lidzawazindikira otsatira ake ndi kupemphera kwawo mozama. M'malo mwake,
Mwa ichi adzazindikira onse kuti muli akuphunzira anga, ngati muli nacho chikondano wina ndi mnzake. (Juwau 13:35)
Kunena zowona, mzimu wa atumwi, mtima wofuna kukhala mayi ndi utate, mzimu wachipembedzo komanso wansembe, mabishopu, ndi apapa ndi pemphero. Pakuti popanda izi kukhala mwa Yesu, sitingathe kubala zipatso. Koma monga ndidanenera koyambirira mu Retreat iyi, kukhalabe mwa Yesu zonsezi ndi pemphero ndi kukhulupirika.
Ngati musunga malamulo anga mudzakhala m'chikondi changa… Ili ndi lamulo langa, kuti mukondane wina ndi mnzake, monga ndakonda inu. (Juwau 15:10, 12)
Chowotcha chilichonse chimayatsidwa ndi "kuunika koyendetsa" komweko kwa chikhumbo: kusankha kozindikira kufuna kukonda Mulungu ndi mnansi. Tikuwona chitsanzo chabwino cha izi mwa Amayi Odala pamene, posasamala za kutopa kwawo m'miyezi yoyamba ya mimba yake, adanyamuka phiri kuti akathandize msuweni wake Elizabeth. Moyo wamkati wa Mariya anali Yesu, kwenikweni komanso mwauzimu. Ndipo atalowa m'bale wake, timamva Elizabeti akuti:
Izi zandichitikira bwanji, kuti amayi a Mbuye wanga adze kwa ine? Pakuti pakumva mawu ako apatsidwe moni, mwana wakhanda walumpha m'mimba mwanga mokondwera. (Luka 1: 43-44)
Apa tikuwona kuti wophunzira weniweni wa Mulungu — mwamuna kapena mkazi amene ali ndi Lawi la Chikondi, yemwe ndi Yesu, woyaka mitima yawo ndipo amene sabisala pansi pa tchire - nayenso amakhala “kuunika kwa dziko lapansi.” [1]onani. Mateyu 5: 14 Moyo wawo wamkati umawonekera mwanjira yachilendo yomwe ena amatha kuzindikira m'mitima mwawo, ngakhale popanda mawu, monga tawonera pamene Yohane M'batizi adalumpha m'mimba mwa Elizabeti. Ndiye kuti, umunthu wonse wa Mariya udali zaulosi; ndipo moyo wauneneri ndi womwe "umavumbula malingaliro a mitima yambiri." [2]onani. Luka 2:35 Zimasonkhezera mwa iwo mwina kukhala ndi njala ya zinthu za Mulungu, kapena kudana ndi zinthu za Mulungu. Monga Yohane Woyera adati,
Umboni wa Yesu ndiwo mzimu wa ulosi. (Chiv 19:10)
Chifukwa chake mukuwona, pemphero lopanda ntchito, kapena ntchito yopanda pemphero, limasiya aliyense ali wosauka. Ngati timapemphera ndikupita ku Misa, koma osakonda, ndiye kuti tikunyoza Uthenga Wabwino. Ngati titumikira ndi kuthandiza ena, koma lawi la chikondi cha pa Mulungu silikhalabe, ndiye kuti tikulephera kupereka mphamvu yosintha ya chikondi, yomwe ndi "mboni za Yesu." Pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa Oyera Mtima ndi ogwira nawo ntchito. Ogwira ntchito zantchito amasiya njira zabwino, zomwe ena nthawi zambiri amaiwala; Oyera mtima amasiya fungo la Khristu lomwe limakhalapobe kwazaka zambiri.
Potseka, ndiye, tikuwona kuwululidwa tsopano njira yachisanu ndi chiwiri zomwe zimatsegula mitima yathu pamaso pa Mulungu:
Odala ali akuchita mtendere; chifukwa adzatchedwa ana a Mulungu. (Mat. 5: 9)
Kukhala wamtendere sikumangothetsa mikangano, koma kubweretsa mtendere wa Khristu kulikonse. Timakhala onyamula mtendere wa Mulungu pamene, monga Maria, moyo wathu wamkati ndi Yesu, pamene…
… Sindikhala inenso, koma Kristu akhala mwa ine… (Agalatiya 2:19)
Mzimu wotere sungathandize koma kubweretsa mtendere kulikonse komwe angapite. Monga a Seraphim a ku Sarov ananenera, "Pezani mzimu wamtendere, ndipo masauzande apulumuka."
Mtendere sikumangokhala kuti kulibe nkhondo, komanso sikutanthauza kuti pakhale bata pakati pa adani ... Mtendere ndi "bata." Mtendere ndi ntchito yachilungamo komanso zotsatira zachifundo. -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 2304
Elizabeth adakumana ndi "zotsatira za chisomo" mwa kukhalapo kwa Maria, chifukwa Dona Wathu adanyamula pakati pake Kalonga Wamtendere. Chifukwa chake, yankho la Elizabeti likugwiranso ntchito kwa ife:
Odala muli inu amene munakhulupirira kuti zimene Yehova ananena kwa inu zidzakwaniritsidwa. (Luka 1:45)
Kudzera mwa "inde" wathu kwa Mulungu m'pemphero ndi kutumikira ena, ifenso tidzadalitsidwa, popeza mitima yathu imadzazidwa ndi chikondi, kuwala, ndi kupezeka kwa Mulungu.
CHidule ndi LEMBA
Pamene oyatsa awiri a chikondi cha Mulungu ndi kukonda mnansi kuyatsa, timakhala owala ngati buluni ya mpweya wowala yomwe ikuwala mumlengalenga usiku.
Pakuti Mulungu ndiye amene, mwa cholinga chake, amagwirira ntchito mwa inu kukhumba ndi kugwira ntchito. Chitani zonse popanda kung'ung'udza kapena kufunsa, kuti mukhale opanda cholakwa ndi osalakwa, ana a Mulungu opanda chilema pakati pa m'badwo wopotoka maganizo ndi wopotoka, mwa amene mumawala ngati nyali mdziko. (Afil 2: 13-15)
Kuti agwirizane ndi Mark mu Lenten Retreat iyi,
dinani pachikwangwani pansipa kuti Tumizani.
Imelo yanu sidzagawidwa ndi aliyense.
