OoMagi abavela empuma bafika… baqubuda baqubuda kuye. Baza bavula ubuncwane babo bamnika izipho zegolide, intlaka yokuqhumisa nemore. (Mat 2: 1, 11)
OH uYesu wam.
Ndifanele ukuza kuwe namhlanje ngezipho ezininzi, njengemagi. Endaweni yokuba izandla zam zingenanto. Ndinqwenela ukuba ndingakunika igolide yemisebenzi elungileyo, kodwa ndithwele kuphela usizi lwesono. Ndizama ukutshisa intlaka yokuqhumisa yomthandazo, kodwa ndinokuphazamiseka kuphela. Ndifuna ukukubonisa imore yesidima, kodwa ndambathiswe ngokubi.
OH uYesu wam. Kufuneka ndenze ntoni phambi kwakho ngoku, mna ofunyenweyo, ngandlela ithile, eBusweni bakho?
Mvana yam endiyithandayo, ndinqwenela oku ndedwa: ukuba undijonge ekusweleni kwam. Andizanga kuwe njengoko unjalo, ulihlwempu, umncinci, ungenakuzenzela nto? Ngaba ubona inqwaba yeengelosi zikukufulathela… okanye ubona abalusi abalula kunye nenkomo ne-esile zindirhawule? Kwaye jonga-iiMagi, zityebile njengoko zinjalo, zilele phambi kwam.
Ewe, esi sisipho endisinqwenelayo, isipho sokuthobeka! Unayo into ondinika yona: ukungabikho kwakho. Ndidale umhlaba ungenanto ukuze ube nethemba lokwazi ukuba ndingadala ubuNgcwele ngaphandle kwento. Musa ukoyika, mvana encinci. Banoyolo abangamahlwempu ngomoya; Intlupheko yakho-oko kukuthi, ukuyazi kwakho-indenzela indawo ngaphakathi kwentliziyo yakho. Andikwazi ukuza entliziyweni enekratshi kwaye ivaliwe. Ndinokungena kuphela entliziyweni ekhupha konke ukukhohlisa ngokulunga kwayo, kwaye eyaziyo intlupheko yayo.
Isipho endisinqwenelayo kuwe namhlanje ayizizo izenzo, okanye amagama, okanye ukulunga. Namhlanje, ndicela nje ukuba wenze indawo entliziyweni yakho. Xelisa iiMagi: lala phambi kwam. Yiba phantsi, njengoMama, kwaye ndiya kuza noBawo kwaye ndihlale ngaphakathi kwakho, njengoko ndahlala kwaye ndiqhubeka ndihlala kuye.
Kutheni usoyika usana nje?
Umphefumlo wam uya kubhengeza ubukhulu bukaYehova;
umoya wam ugcobile ngoThixo uMsindisi wam;
Ngokuba wakukhangela ukuthobeka komkhonzazana wakhe…
(Luka 1: 46-48)
