Monga nswala ikalakalaka mitsinje yamadzi…

 

MWINA mukumva kuti simungathe kukhala oyera ngati momwe ndimapitilira kulemba Lenten Retreat iyi. Zabwino. Kenako tonse talowa munthawi yovuta pakudzidziwitsa-kuti kupatula chisomo cha Mulungu, palibe chomwe tingachite. Koma sizitanthauza kuti sitiyenera kuchita chilichonse.

Ndinafuula kwa Atate kamodzi, "Ambuye, zili ngati zinthu chikwi zimandigwira." Ndipo yankho lake linali, “…ndipo ndikukupatsa chisomo m'njira zikwi. Ndifunireni, ndifunseni njala, ndiyitaneni Ine — koma onetsetsani kuti mukuyang'ana pamalo oyenera. ”

Lero, monga m'badwo wina usanakhaleko, timazunzidwa mphindi iliyonse ndi zikwi zosokoneza. Kwenikweni. Ngati sichikubwera kuchokera pawailesi, kanema wawayilesi, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Messenger, malo atsopanowu, malo ochitira masewera, malo ogulitsira, telefoni… tsopano ikubwera kuchokera kumalingaliro athu, chifukwa nthawi yayitali yaukadaulo wonse wafupikitsidwa . Tiyenera kulabadira izi… a chithunzi cha Chamoyo ikufuna kale kupembedzedwa kwathu ndi kupembedzedwa, ndipo nthawi zambiri timazipereka m'njira zikwi zochenjera. ^[1]onani. Chiv 13:15

Chifukwa chake tiyenera kudzifufuza ndikudzifunsa funso lofunika ili: Kodi ndikuchita chiyani ndi nthawi yanga? Nthawi ndi chikondi. Ndimathera nthawi yanga ku zomwe ndimakonda. Ndipo kotero, Yesu adati,

Palibe amene angathe kutumikira ambuye awiri. Atha kudana ndi mmodzi ndi kukonda winayo, kapena adzipereka kwa mmodzi ndi kunyoza winayo. (Mat. 6:24)

Kuti nditsegule njira yachisanu yakupezeka kwa Mulungu, ndiyenera kufunsa ngati ndili ngati Wamasalmo:

Monga mbawala ikulakalaka mitsinje yamadzi, momwemo moyo wanga ulakalaka inu, Mulungu. Moyo wanga ukumva ludzu la Mulungu, Mulungu wamoyo. Kodi ndingalowe kuti ndikawone nkhope ya Mulungu? (Masalmo 42: 2-3)

Ndipo ngati ndivomereza kuti sindikufunafuna Mulungu, ndimumva njala yake, ndimuitane… ndiye chifukwa mtima wanga wagawanika. Monga nyimbo ya Johnny Lee ikupita, "Ndinali kufunafuna chikondi m'malo onse olakwika… ”Koma khalani otsimikiza, Mulungu akukufunafunanibe, ndikupangitsa kuti zitheke m'njira zing'onozing'ono chikwi. Ndipo chifukwa chake, wolemba nyimbo wina analemba mu Masalmo 43:

Tumizani kuunika kwanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu, kuti anditsogolere; zindifikitse ku phiri lanu loyera, kumalo kwanu. (Salmo 43: 3)

Funso silakuti kaya muli ndi ludzu la chikondi, tanthauzo, ndi cholinga. Tonsefe tili. Funso ndiloti pomwe tikuyang'ana kuti tithetse ludzu lathu. Ndipo kotero, lero, Yesu akukupemphani kuti mupange chisankho champhamvu. Ndikusankha kopatula nthawi kuti akhale ndi Iye. Ayi, ndizoposa pamenepo: kupatula onse nthawi yanu kwa Iye…

Chifukwa chake ngati mungadye kapena kumwa, kapena china chilichonse, chitani zonse ku ulemerero wa Mulungu… chilichonse chimene muchita, m'mawu kapena muntchito, chitani zonse m'dzina la Ambuye Yesu, ndikuyamika Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa iye. (1 Akor. 10:13; Akol. 3:17)

Zaka zingapo zapitazo, wonditsogolera mwauzimu adandifunsa, "Kodi moyo wako wamapemphero uli bwanji?" Ndipo ndidamuyankha kuti ndinali wotanganidwa kwenikweni, ndimatanthauza kuti ndimafuna kupemphera, koma ndimakhala wotsatira, ndi zina. Ndipo adayankha, "Ngati sukupemphera, ndiye kuti ukuwononga nthawi yanga." Ndipo munthawi yomweyo, ndidamvetsetsa: ngati sindikupatula nthawi yoti ndikhale ndi Ambuye - nthawi yopemphera, kukhala chete, ndikusinkhasinkha - ndiye kuti ndikuwononga my nthawi nayenso.

Chifukwa chake, sindikufuna kukuwonongerani nthawi yanu. Lero, iwe ndi ine tiyenera kupanga chisankho champhamvu ngati tikufuna kukula kukhala akhristu okhwima: kuti tipereka nthawi kwa Yesu tsiku ndi tsiku. Zomwe tingachite ndi nthawiyo ndi zomwe tidzakambirane masiku akubwerawa…
