UKUSILELA. Xa kufikwa kwizinto zokomoya, sihlala siziva sisilele ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa mamela, uKristu weva ubunzima kwaye wasweleka ngokuchanekileyo ngenxa yokusilela. Ukwenza isono kukusilela… ukusilela ukuphila ngokuvisisana nomfanekiselo esidalwe ngawo. Kwaye ke, kuloo meko, sonke siyasilela, kuba bonke bonile.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba uKristu wothuswe kukusilela kwakho? Thixo, ngubani owaziyo inani leenwele entlokweni yakho? Ngubani na obala iinkwenkwezi? Ngubani owaziyo indalo iphela yeengcinga zakho, amaphupha, kunye neminqweno? UThixo akamangalisi. Ubona imeko yomntu ewileyo ngokucacileyo. Uyayibona imida yayo, iziphene zayo, kunye nokufumana kwayo, kakhulu, kangangokuba akukho nto imfutshane kuMsindisi enokuyihlangula. Ewe uyasibona, siwile, senzakele, sibuthathaka, kwaye uyaphendula ngokuthumela uMsindisi. Oko kukuthi, uyabona ukuba asinako ukuzisindisa.
UKOYISA INTLIZIYO YAKHE
Ewe, uThixo uyazi ukuba asinako ukoyisa iintliziyo zethu, ukuba iinzame zethu zokutshintsha, ukuba ngcwele, ukugqibelela, ziwe phantsi ezinyaweni zaKhe. Kwaye endaweni yoko, Ufuna ukuba soyise Intliziyo yakhe.
Ndinqwenela ukunixelela imfihlelo engeyiyo imfihlo konke konke: ayibobungcwele oboyisa intliziyo kaThixo, kodwa thobeka. Abaqokeleli berhafu uMateyu noZakeyu, umkrexezikazi uMary Magdalene, kunye nesela emnqamlezweni — aba boni abakhange bamcekise uKristu. Endaweni yoko, wayonwabile ngenxa yokuncinane kwabo. Ukuthobeka kwabo phambi kwakhe akuzange kubazuzise ngosindiso kuphela, kodwa nothando lukaKristu. UMariya noMateyu baba ngamaqabane akhe asondeleyo, uYesu wacela ukuba aye kutya endlwini kaZakeyu, laza elo sela lamenyelwa eParadesi kwangalo mini. Ewe, izihlobo zikaKristu zazingengcwele — zazithobekile.
Ukuba ungumoni owoyikekayo, yazi ukuba namhlanje uKristu udlula ngendlela yakho nesimemo sokutya naye. Kodwa ngaphandle kokuba umncinci, ngekhe umve. UKristu uyazazi izono zakho. Kutheni uzifihla, okanye uzama ukubanciphisa? Hayi, yiza kuKristu uveze ezi zono kubo bonke uburharha kwi-Sacramente yoXolelwaniso. Mbonise (osele ebabona) ukuba ulihlwempu kangakanani na. Beka phambi kwakhe ukophuka kwakho, ubuthathaka bakho, ukungabi namsebenzi kwakho, ngokunyaniseka nangokuthobeka… kwaye uYise uyakubaleka eze kuwe, njengoko uyise wolahle unyana wakhe wolahleko. Njengoko uKristu wamanga uPetros emva kokukhanyela kwakhe. Njengokuba u Yesu wakwamkela ukuthandabuza uTomas, owathi ngobuthathaka bakhe wavuma, "Nkosi yam, Thixo wam."
Indlela yokoyisa intliziyo kaThixo ayikho kuluhlu olude lwempumelelo. Endaweni yoko, uluhlu olufutshane lwenyaniso: "Andiyonto, Nkosi. Andinanto, ngaphandle komnqweno wokuthanda nokuthandwa nguwe."
Yiyo le ndiyithandayo: Yindoda ephantsi, eyaphukileyo, egubha ngelizwi lam. —Isaya 66: 2
Ukuba uthe wawa, emva koko ubuyele kuKrestu — amashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe aphindwe kasixhenxe ukuba kunyanzelekile-kwaye ixesha ngalinye uthi, "Nkosi yam noThixo wam, ndiyakudinga. Ndimpofu kakhulu, yiba nenceba kum mna moni." UKristu sele esazi ukuba ungumoni. Kodwa ukuze abone omncinci waKhe ebiza, itakane lakhe elincinci libanjiwe kumaqunube obuthathaka, kunzima kakhulu ukuba uMalusi angalihoyi. Uya kuza kuwe, ebaleke ngokuzeleyo, kwaye akutsalele entliziyweni yakhe — Intliziyo osandoyisa.
Owu Thixo, umoya wam wonakele; intliziyo etyumkileyo ethobekileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela. - INdumiso 51:19
… Kwaye Lowo woyisile isono uza koyisa intliziyo yakho ngenxa yakho.
