IT bekungokuhlwa okupholileyo xa bendime ngaphandle kwendlu katatazala wam. Mna nomfazi wam sasisandul 'ukuhlala nabantwana bethu abahlanu kwigumbi elingaphantsi. Izinto zethu zazisegaraji eyayizaliswe ziimpuku, ndandaphukile, ndingenamsebenzi, ndidiniwe. Kwakubonakala ngathi yonke imizamo yam yokukhonza iNkosi enkonzweni ayiphumelelanga. Yiyo loo nto ndingasoze ndiwalibale amazwi endimve ewathetha entliziyweni yam ngalo mzuzu:

Andinibizi ukuba nibe nempumelelo, kodwa nithembeke.

Yaba lixesha lenguquko kum, igama elithi “libambekile.” Xa ndifunda iNdumiso yanamhlanje, yandikhumbuza ngobo busuku:

Ndabiza, nandiphendula; wena undenzele amandla. Isandla sakho sokunene siyandihlangula. UYehova uya kukufeza oko akwenzileyo kum...

INkosi ayiyisusi iminqamlezo yethu kodwa iyasinceda ukuba siyithwale. Ngokuba...

… Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. (UYohane 12:24)

Injongo kaBawo ngawe kunye nam ekugqibeleni lulonwabo lwethu lwanaphakade, kodwa indlela ekhona ihlala idlula eKalvari. Kubomi bomoya, akukho malunga nokufika apho ufuna ukuya khona, kodwa njani uyafika apho.

KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, uYesu uthi, Celani, nophiwa; funani nofumana; nkqonkqozani kwaye niya kuvulelwa. ” Kakade ke, mna nawe sazi ngamava ukuba sisoloko sicela izinto kuBawo, yaye ngokufuthi impendulo ibe nguhayi, okanye ayikabikho, yaye maxa wambi ewe. Yiyo loo nto uYesu esongeza la mazwi:

... wobeka phi na ke yena uYihlo osemazulwini ukugqithisela ukubapha okulungileyo abo bamcelayo.

UBawo uya kubanika “izinto ezilungileyo” abo bamcelayo. Kodwa yithi umcela ukuba akuphilise kwisigulo. UYesu usenokuthi ekuphenduleni, “Nguwuphi na kuni onokuthi amnike ilitye unyana wakhe xa ecela isonka, okanye inyoka, xa ecela intlanzi?” Oko kukuthi, ukuphiliswa ngokwasemzimbeni kusenokuba yile nto kanye uyifunayo. Kodwa kwelinye icala, ukugula kusenokuba yile nto kanye uyidingayo ngenxa yomphefumlo wakho kunye nokungcwaliswa kwayo (okanye okwabanye). Ukuphiliswa eneneni kusenokuba “lilitye” elinokuba ngumqobo ekuxhomekekeni kwakho kuThixo, okanye “inyoka” enokutyhefa kwikratshi, njalo njalo. Kwaye ngoko uthi kuwe, Andikubizeli ukuba uphumelele, kodwa uthembekile. Oko kukuthi, ziyeke izicwangciso zakho, into ocinga ukuba makayenze, ulawulo lwakho lwengomso, kwaye uthembele kuye namhlanje. Kunzima ukuyenza loo nto! Kodwa yiloo nto thina kumele senze ntoni ukuba siza kuba “njengomntwana.”

Sekunjalo, asifanele sithandabuze ukukhala njengoEstere:

Ngoku ke ndincede, ndedwa, kungekho bani ingenguwe, Yehova Thixo wam. (ukufunda okokuqala)

Ngokuba uYehova ukuva ukukhala kweentsizana. Kwaye Yena ngeke siphe oko kulungileyo. Uyakukholelwa oku? UBawo uya kusoloko eninika okulungileyo, yaye ngakumbi xa singabantwana abathembekileyo. Ngoko ke mbuze. Yithi, “Bawo, ndikunika le meko. Oku kunqwenelwa yintliziyo yam ndicela ukuba ukwenze kube njalo, kuba ndindodwa kwaye andinabani ngaphandle kwakho. Ke, Abha, mna ndikholose ngawe, ngokuba uyakwazi okona kundilungeleyo, nokundilungeleyo ummelwane wam. Kwaye nantoni na oyigqibayo Bawo, nokuba yintoni...

…Ndiya kubulela kuwe, Yehova, ngentliziyo yonke, kuba uwavile amazwi omlomo wam; Phambi kwezithunywa zezulu ndiya kukubethela uhadi. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)

Kwaye iNkosi iya kuba namandla akho okukunceda ukuba uthembeke… akunyanzelekanga ukuba uphumelele.
