UTHANDO luzityhila
HE yayingeyondoda elilungisa. Wayexoka, elisela, kwaye wonke umntu wayeyazi. Nangona kunjalo, kuZakeyu, kwakukho indlala yenyaniso esikhululayo, nokuba wayengayazi. Wathi ke akuva ukuba uYesu uyadlula, wakhwela emthini ukuze abone.
Kuwo onke amakhulu, mhlawumbi amawaka awayelandela uKrestu ngala mini, uYesu wema kuloo mthi.
Zakeyu, khawuleza uhle, kuba namhlanje ndimelwe kukuhlala endlwini yakho. (ULuka 19: 5)
UYesu akazange ayeke apho kuba wafumana umphefumlo ofanelekileyo, okanye ngenxa yokuba efumene umphefumlo ogcwele ukholo, okanye intliziyo eguqukileyo. Uye wema kuba Intliziyo yakhe igcwele imfesane ngendoda ebiphume kwilungu elithile-ngokwasemoyeni.
UYesu uthumela umyalezo omhle kuZakeyu:
Uyathandwa!
Lowo ngumyalezo ohamba entliziyweni yam njengamaza amakhulu kule nyanga iphelileyo.
Uyathandwa!
Umyalezo kuwo wonke umphefumlo osemhlabeni, hayi eCanada kuphela. U-Kristu uyema phantsi komthi weentliziyo zethu namhlanje abuze ukuba angatya na nathi. Oku kunzulu kuba uZakeyu akenzanga nto ukuba ifanelwe lolu lubabalo. UYesu walijonga eli sela ngothando olukhulu ngenxa yokuba Yena ngokwenene ndimthandile!
UYesu uthanda umntu ngamnye ngokwenene. UBawo uyasithanda. UMoya uyasithanda! Akukho meko inikiweyo ngokuza endlwini kaZakeyu. Akukho nanye. Akukho meko yothando lukaThixo.
Kodwa uYesu uyadlula, aze athi, "Yihla ngokukhawuleza."
YIHLA NGOKUKHAWULEZA
UYesu uyadlula kwesi sizukulwana kwakhona waphinda wathi, "Yehla ngokukhawuleza!" Ngaba esi ayisosiseko sayo yonke le mibhalo? Omnye wemiyalezo yam yokuqala ibingu "Lungiselela!"Ewe, ligama elingxamisekileyo lokulungisa intliziyo yakho kuba uKrestu uyadlula. Kwaye asoyiki, kuba ujonge kuthi ngothando kwaye uthi,"Namhlanje, kufuneka ndihlale endlwini yakho!"
Vumela umoni afunde lo mdaniso ngovuyo! Vumela abakwisono esinzulu khwaza "Enkosi!" kuThixo, ngokuba akayinyuli indlu yabangcwele;
USINDISO LUYA
Akukho meko yothando lukaThixo. Kodwa phaya is imeko yoSindiso. Ukuba uZakeyu uhlala emthini, ngoko ke undwendwe oluNgcwele ludlula kuye. Kwaye ke wehla emthini kwaye "wamkela uYesu ngovuyo" kuba ngoku uyazi ukuba uyathandwa.
Nangona kunjalo, uZakeyu, akakasindiswa ngenxa yokuba edibene noThando ubuso ngobuso. Intlanganiso iqala ukutshintsha kwakhe, kuba uyaqonda ukuba isono sakhe ibingengomqobo osisikhubekiso kuThixo. Uyaqonda ekugqibeleni ukuba isono sakhe is isikhubekiso se ngokwakhe.
Yabona, isiqingatha sempahla yam, Nkosi, ndiza kuyinika amahlwempu, kwaye ukuba kukho into endiyicofileyo kuye nabani na, ndiza kuyibuyisela amatyeli amane. "Uthe ke uYesu kuye," Namhlanje kufike usindiso kule ndlu…. (ULuka 19: 8-9)
Akukho meko yothando lukaThixo nabani na. Kodwa imeko yoSindiso lomntu wonke injalo guquka.
Into edingwa leli hlabathi, emva koko, yintlanganiso noThando ubuso ngobuso. Kwaye ndiziva nzulu entliziyweni yam kuyeza. Mhlawumbi ngalamzuzu wokuhlangana, iintliziyo zethu ezilukhuni ziya kunyibilika, kwaye nathi siyakwamkela undwendwe oluNgcwele emakhayeni ethu…
UTSHINTSHO LWENKOSAZANE
Uloyiso lweNenekazi Lethu kula maxesha, ndiyakholelwa, luyakuba kukuzisa ithuba loguquko olukhulu kwihlabathi; Ukuhlutha kuSathana oko kubonakala ngathi luloyiso oluthile. Kanye xa izizwe zethu ziya kubonakala zilahlekile, siyakuluva uthando olumangalisayo lukaThixo (bona Ukukhutshelwa ngaphandle kwenamba). Iya kuba lithuba lokugqibela lokuba izizwe zamkele inceba kaThixo phambi kokuba zidlule kwiminyango yobulungisa.
Ndinqwenela ukuba lonke ihlabathi liyazi inceba yam engapheliyo. Ndinqwenela ukunika ubabalo olungenakuthelekiswa nanto kuloo miphefumlo ithembele kwinceba yaM… lonke uluntu maluqonde inceba yam engenakulinganiswa. Ngumqondiso wexesha lokuphela; emva kwayo iya kufika imini yomgwebo. —UYesu, esiya eSt. Faustina, Idayari, n. 687, 848
Ukubhala kwam kokugqibela, O Canada… Uphi na? Ngumfanekiso obuhlungu welizwe elahlekileyo kude neNdlu kaTata, kakhulu ngendlela elahlekileyo ngayo unyana wolahleko. Uninzi lwenu lubhalile, iCanada ayindedwa.
Kodwa apho isono siphuphuma khona, lubabalo luyanda.
Ndifuna ukuthetha ngale ntlanganiso ubuso ngobuso nooThixo kwincwadi yam elandelayo.
Qiniseka, ke ngoko, uguquke. Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; Ukuba uthe umntu waliva izwi lam, wavula umnyango, ndongena endlwini yakhe, ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3: 19-20)
