UKUSUKA umfundi:
Kubomi bam bokuthandazela nasekuthandazeni izinto ezithile, ngakumbi ukuphathwa gadalala komyeni wam iphonografi kunye nazo zonke izinto ezibangelwa lolu xhatshazo, ezinje ngesizungu, ukungathembeki, ukungathembani, ukuhlala wedwa, uloyiko, njl.njl. UYesu undixelela ukuba ndonwabe kwaye umbulelo. Ndifumana ukuba uThixo usivumela imithwalo emininzi ebomini ukuze imiphefumlo yethu ihlanjululwe kwaye ifezeke. Ufuna ukuba sifunde ukuqaphela ukuba kwethu nesono kunye nokuzithanda kwaye siqonde ukuba asinakwenza nto ngaphandle kwakhe, kodwa ukwandixelela ngokuthe ngqo ukuba ndiyithwale. injabulo. Oku kubonakala ngathi kuyandiphepha… andazi ukuba ndonwabe njani phakathi kwentlungu yam. Ndifumana ukuba le ntlungu lithuba elivela kuThixo kodwa andiqondi ukuba kutheni uThixo evumela olu hlobo lobubi ekhayeni lam kwaye kulindelwe njani ukuba ndivuye ngalo? Uhlala endixelela ukuba ndithandaze, ndibulele kwaye ndonwabe kwaye ndihleke! Naziphi na iingcinga?
Mfundi othandekayo. NguYesu is inyaniso. Akasoze, ke ngoko, asibuze ukuba sihlale ebuxokini. Akasoze afune ukuba "sibulele kwaye sonwabe kwaye sihleke" malunga nento ebuhlungu njengokukhotyokiswa ngumyeni wakho. Kwaye Akalindelanga ukuba umntu ahleke xa umntu amthandayo esifa, okanye aphulukane nendlu yakhe emlilweni, okanye aphelelwe ngumsebenzi. Iincwadi zeVangeli azithethi ngokuhleka kweNkosi okanye ukuncuma ngexesha lokuNqwenela kwakhe. Endaweni yoko, babalisa ngendlela uNyana kaThixo anyamezele ngayo imeko enqabileyo yezonyango ebizwa isifo seematidrosis apho, ngenxa yokubandezeleka okukhulu kwengqondo, ii-capillaries zegazi zagqabhuka, kwaye ke amahlwili egazi alandelayo ahanjiswe asuswe kumbilo wolusu ngumbilo, abonakala njengamathontsi egazi (Luka 22:44).
Ke, zithetha ntoni ezi ndima zezibhalo:
Vuyani eNkosini amaxesha onke; Ndiyaphinda ndiyaphinda ndithi, yibani nemihlali! KwabaseFilipi 4: 4.
Ezintweni zonke bulelani; kuba oko kukuthanda kukaThixo ngani kuKristu Yesu. (1 Tes.5: 18)
INKOSI
U-St. Paul akathi vuyani ngeemeko zakho ngomntu ngamnyekunokuba, "vuyani eNkosini"Oko kukuthi, vuyiswa kukwazi ukuba uyakuthanda ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ukuba okwenzekayo ebomini bakho kuvunyelwe" kukuthanda kukaThixo ngawe kuKristu Yesu, "kwaye" iintlungu zeli xesha langoku azinakuthelekiswa nanto ngobuqaqawuli obuza kutyhilwa kuthi ”(Rom 8:18). USt.Paul uthetha ngokuvuya emfanekisweni omkhulu, kwaye owona mfanekiso mkhulu yi-Incarnation -isipho sikaYesu kwihlabathi elilahlekileyo elwandle. Ulizibuko elikhuselekileyo elisinika indawo yokusabela, intsingiselo kunye nenjongo. Ngaphandle kwaKhe, ubomi yinto engenantsingiselo nengacwangciswanga yezenzo ezifikelela kuthe cwaka engcwabeni. Naye, kwanokubandezeleka kwam okungavakaliyo nokungaqondakaliyo kunentsingiselo kuba uyazibona zonke iinyembezi zam, kwaye uyabavuza xa obu bomi bufutshane buphelile.
Yonke enye into izakugqitha kwaye iyakuthathwa kuthi, kodwa iLizwi likaThixo lelaphakade kwaye linika intsingiselo kwimisebenzi yethu yemihla ngemihla. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, KuMarta noMariya, Nge-18 kaJulayi, 2010, Zenit.org
Uvuyo kule ndlela, ke, ayisiyomvakalelo; ayisiyomboniso njengokuhleka ngenkani, ukuqaqamba, okanye ukungakhathali ebusweni bezilingo. Yi Isiqhamo soMoya oyiNgcwele ndizalwe ngo ithemba. Kubomi bukaKristu nakumazwi, Wasinika ukholo; ekufeni kwaKhe, wasinika uthando; Ngovuko lwaKhe wasinika ithemba -Ndiyathemba ukuba ukufa kunye nesono asikokuphumelela. Oko kukhupha isisu, iphonografi, uqhawulo-mtshato, imfazwe, iyantlukwano, ubuhlwempu, kunye nazo zonke iingxaki zentlalo ezizisa ukubandezeleka kwanamhlanje, ekugqibeleni, azinanto yokugqibela. Uvuyo ke ngumntwana weli themba. Kuluvuyo oluqhutywa ngamaphiko okujonga okungcwele.
Kwimithandazo yeCawe, sifunda:
Nkosi, khumbula iBandla lakho lomhambi. Ngumsinga waseBhabheli sihleli sikhala; Ungasivumeli ukuba sitsalwe kwilizwe langoku elidlulayo, kodwa usikhulule kubo bonke ububi kwaye uphakamise iingcamango zethu kwiYerusalem yasezulwini. -Imini yeeYure, Iindumiso-Umthandazo, Umqu. II, iphe. 1182
Xa siphakamisela iingcinga zethu ezulwini, siyalufumana uvuyo, nangona lungangathi luthile kwaye luzolile, lufihlwe entliziyweni njengoko bekusoloko kuluvuyo lukaMama Obusisiweyo. KwiiKnights zaseColumbus, sinemotto yesiLatin:
I-tempus fugit, imemento mori .
"Ixesha liyahamba, khumbula ukufa." Ukuphila ngale ndlela, sikhumbula ukuba ubutyebi bethu bezinto eziphathekayo, imisebenzi yethu, iwonga lethu, impilo yethu-kunye nokubandezeleka kwethu-kuyadlula, kwaye kudlula ngokukhawuleza, kusinceda ukuba sihlale sijonga izinto ngendlela kaThixo. Ngaphandle koko, sifana nomntu apho,
… Imbewu ehlwayelwe emithaneni enameva ngulo ulivayo iLizwi, kodwa ke ixhala lehlabathi kunye nokutsala kobutyebi kuliminxe ilizwi kwaye alivelisi ziqhamo. (Mat 13:22)
Iziqhamo, ezinje uvuyo. Kwakhona, ikhona mthandazo apho esi siqhamo sifunyanwa saze safunyanwa kwakhona…
NDIYANDITHANDA
Namhlanje, phambi kokuhlala phantsi ndikubhalele, ndiye ndaguqa phambi kweTabernakele ecaweni. Ndimi phezu enzonzobileni yolusizi lwam kunye nokuba nesono, ndajonga phezulu kwiCrucifix. Kwakungalo mzuzu apho ndaphinda ndabona ukuba andigwetywanga. Ndingaba njani? Apha bendiguqe phambi kwakhe, ndicela uxolo, kwaye ndizimisele ukuqala phantsi, nangona eli lixesha lesigidi sokuqala ngokutsha. Njani yena, ngubani wasweleka ukuze ndixolelwe, ukwala intliziyo ethembekileyo netyumkileyo (jonga iNdumiso 51:19)? Nangona izithintelo kunye nezilingo ezandibangela ukuba ndiphelelwe ngumonde zisahleli, bekukho ngaphakathi emphefumlweni wam uvuyo noxolo lwangoku. Kwakuluvuyo lokuba ndiyathandwa, ukuba ndixolelwe, ukuba isandla sakhe sizivumele ezi zinto, kwaye ke, oko kwanele ukuba ndazi.
Izilingo zam zihlala. Kodwa ndiyathandwa. Ndinganombulelo kuzo zonke iimeko kuba ndiyathandwa, kwaye Akasoze avume kwaukubandezeleka kwam ukuba bekungayalelwanga kulunge lomphefumlo wam nabanye.
UKHATHALELE
Kwaye kuba sithandwa nguThixo, uzikhathalele iinkcukacha. INgcwele uPaul ithi "vuyani eNkosini," kodwa emva koko ...
… INkosi is kufutshane. Musani ukuba naxhala konke, kodwa ezintweni zonke, ngomthandazo nesicelo, ninombulelo, zaziseni izicelo zenu kuThixo. (KwabaseFil 4: 5-6)
UPeter ubhala athi,
Liphoseni kuye lonke ixhala lenu, kuba unikhathalele. (1 Pet 5: 7)
INkosi iyasiva isikhalo samahlwempu… amahlwempu ngokomoya, abo badanduluka kwintlupheko yabo ngokholo kwaye ukuthembela.
Bonke abandibizayo bayaphendula; Ndiya kuba nabo embandezelweni, Ndiya kubahlangula, ndibanike imbeko. (INdumiso 91:15)
Sisithembiso sasemoyeni. Xa udade wethu waswelekayo kwingozi yemoto xa ndandineminyaka eli-19 ubudala, isiqhamo sovuyo sabonakala siwela kumthi wentliziyo yam. Ndingavuya njani ukuba andinakuze ndiphinde ndimbone udadewethu kobu bomi? Angandihlangula njani kobu buhlungu?
Impendulo ithi, ekugqibeleni, ngobabalo lwaKhe, ndibize yena endaweni yotywala, isini, okanye ukuthanda izinto eziphathekayo ukuze ndiphelise intlungu endikuyo. Ndiyamkhumbula udade wethu unanamhla… kodwa uNdikhoyo uluvuyo lwam kuba ithemba ukuba andizukuphinda ndimbone kwakhona, kodwa ndiza ukubona INkosi eyayindithanda kuqala. Ukusweleka kukadadewethu, ubuthathaka bobomi, ukudlula kwezinto zonke, ubuze besono… ezi zinto zajongana nam ndisemncinci kakhulu, kwaye inyani yazo yawuhlakula umhlaba wentliziyo yam ukuze uvuyo- ulonwabo lwenene- lube nakho uzalelwe ethembeni.
Ke unokwenza njani nina wonwabe kule meko yokulahlwa ngoku ubukele ukufa kwendoda yakho ngokwasemoyeni kunye nokubola okulusizi kwezibhambathiso zomtshato wayo njengoko kubonakala ngathi ithathwa yimisinga yaseBhabheli?
Ngasemilanjeni yaseBhabylon apho sahlala salila, sikhumbula iZiyon… Owu singayivuma kanjani ingoma yeNkosi…? (INdumiso 137: 1, 4)
Impendulo yile, ngalo mzuzu, ubizelwe kwakhona ku umbono kaThixo. Isono asikokuthanda kukaThixo. Kodwa ke angazenza zonke izinto zisebenze zilungele abo bamthandayo. Unokubizwa, njengoko wayenjalo uYesu, ukunikela ngobomi bakho ngenxa yendoda yakho, ukuzaliseka okuyinyani kwezifungo zakho kuye. Kananjalo, kuya kufuneka ubone ukuba ixabiso lomphefumlo womyeni wakho likwedlula kude ukubandezeleka kobu bomi bangoku. Uvuyo lunokuzalwa ngethemba lokuba ayizukuphela kuphela kokubandezeleka kwakho kuphele ngovuyo olungathethekiyo, kodwa umphefumlo wendoda yakho unokuhlangulwa ngonaphakade ngokunikela kokomoya kwimithandazo yakho nangokumlamlela (oko akuthethi ukuba ungazibeka engozini okanye abanye abantu wena, okanye kufuneka uxhatshazwe ngokwakho.)
Uvuyo kwezi meko sisiqhamo sikaMoya oyiNgcwele, esizelwe ethembeni, kwaye sifumaneka kwi intando kaThixo. Ndifuna ukubhala malunga noku kulandelayo-intando kaThixo. Imibhalo yam emithathu yokugqibela ibikukulungiselela oko. Okwangoku, ndithandazela wena nomyeni wakho ukuba yena-kunye nezigidi zamadoda anjengaye-bakhululwe kwisibetho esingamanyala esonakalisa ngokuthula iintsapho kunye nemitshato kwihlabathi liphela.
KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA:
- Uthando lomfazi olunamandla ngomyeni ongathembekanga… Uthando Oluyisayo
