IF uyeka ukucinga malunga nayo, ukuze ungenise okunene okwenzekileyo kwiVangeli yanamhlanje, kuya kufuneka kuguqule ubomi bakho.
UYesu wabona umqokeleli werhafu ogama linguLevi ehleli kwindawo yerhafu. Wathi ke yena kuye, Ndilandele. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Abaqokeleli berhafu bexesha likaKristu babedume kakubi ngokuba ngamaxelegu, kangangokuba yayilihlazo elikhulu ukuba uYesu achithe umzuzwana kunye nabo.
Yini na ukuba nidle nisele nababuthi berhafu naboni? Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo, lifuneka kwabafayo. Andize kubiza malungisa enguqukweni, ndize kubiza aboni. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Ukanti, thina maKristu ngokufuthi siyasilela ukukholosa ngothando lukaThixo ngathi. Sithi, “Ndimele ndazi ngcono… Bendisiya kuvuma izihlandlo ezininzi ngesi sono… UThixo udiniwe ndim, udanile kwaye unomsindo.” Yaye ngaphambi kokuba sazi, umlilo wothando lobuthixo uncipha ube ngamalahle aqhumayo, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba uThixo ewucimile lo mlilo, kodwa kukuswela kwethu ukholo!
Bazalwane noodade abathandekayo, uBhaptizo sisiqalo nje. Ungasindiswa, kodwa uninzi lwethu kusafuneka lube ngokupheleleyo Ngcwalisiwe. Oko kukuthi, sisengaboni, kwaye ngenxa yoko, siyafaneleka ukuba nguGqirha oNgcwele.
Umoni oziva ngaphakathi kwakhe ehluthwe konke okungcwele, okumsulwa, nokunyaniseka ngenxa yesono, umoni ozibona esekumnyameni ngokupheleleyo, ekhutshwe kwithemba losindiso, ekukhanyeni kobomi, naku umthendeleko wabangcwele, inguye umhlobo owamenywa nguYesu esidlweni sangokuhlwa, lowo wayeceliwe ukuba aphume ngasemva kweeheji, lowo wacelwa ukuba abe liqabane emtshatweni wakhe kwaye abe yindlalifa kaThixo… Nabani na ohluphekileyo, olambileyo, isono, ukuwa okanye ukungazi lundwendwe lukaKristu. —UMateyu olihlwempu, UMthendeleko wothando
Ukuba uYesu wanyula uLevi—oko kukuthi, abangabhaptizwanga, aboni, abangakhanyiselwanga, ukuba babe ngamadlelane akhe okuqala, wobeka phi na ke yena ukuba ngabahlobo bakhe, bamamkelayo uMoya oyiNgcwele? Kwaye unjalo. Uyabona, ingxaki yeyokuba asinakukholelwa ukuba uThixo angalunga ngale ndlela.
Mntwana wam, zonke izono zakho khange ziyilimaze Intliziyo yam kabuhlungu njengokungazithembi kwakho okwenzileyo emva kokuba kwenziwe iinzame ezininzi zothando nenceba yam, kusafuneka ukuthandabuze ukulunga kwam.. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1486
Kodwa logama sihlala sikule meko ichuliweyo yamathandabuzo, ukuba asiphelelwa lithemba, siya kuhlala singamaKristu aziintsana—izibane ezifihlwe ngaphantsi kweengobozi, ityuwa engenancasa, namaqula awomileyo. Umahluko phakathi kwethu noLevi asikokuba nesono kwethu, kodwa nokuba siyakuphuma okanye singaphumi esihlalweni sokuthandabuza size silandele uKristu njengoko wenzayo. ULevi waqhubeka emenzela “isidlo esikhulu” uYesu. Kodwa abaninzi bethu benza itheko losizi endaweni yoko! Ngoko ungumoni? Injani loo nto! Nibubungqina bokuba uYesu wafa ngesizathu. Ngoko ke isono sakho masibe ngunobangela wokuthobeka okukhulu, ukuthembela ngakumbi, umthandazo omkhulu—kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke, indumiso enkulu ngokubulela uThixo ngokuba usakuthanda. Ewe, Uya kwenjenjalo rhoqo ndiyakuthanda, nokuba wenza esona sono sibi ehlabathini. Ngoba? Ngokuba ungumntwana wakhe. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ungumntwana wakhe, ufuna ukwenza konke ukukukhulula esonweni sakho. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, oko kuthetha ukuba kufuneka kukuncede uvuke, ngokuphindaphindiweyo, ngaphandle kothuli lobuthathaka.
UThixo akadinwa kukusixolela; sithi abo badiniweyo kukufuna inceba yakhe. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-3
Ngokuba ulungile wena, Nkosi yam, uxolela, Umkhulu ngenceba kubo bonke abakunqulayo. (INdumiso yanamhlanje)
Enyanisweni, uninzi lwethu aluze ludlule kwisiseko sokuqala kubomi bokomoya, obuvumela ukuba uThixo asithande. Isiseko sesibini kukuMthanda kwakhona. Kwaye isiseko sesithathu kukuthanda ummelwane, njengoko kuchazwe kakuhle kufundo lokuqala. Kodwa unokumthanda njani ummelwane wakho ukuba akuzithandi? Kwaye uya kukwazi ukuzithanda kuphela xa ubona kwaye wamkele indlela uThixo akuthanda ngayo.
Namhlanje, Uthando Olwenziwa Ngomzimba lujonge ngqo emehlweni akho, kwaye Uphinda kwakhona, "Ndilandele."
Vuka Mkristu. Uyathandwa. Hamba ngoku uxelele ihlabathi liphela.
