Vula Banzi Intliziyo Yakho-Ilizwi Ngoku

Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; Ukuba uthe umntu waliva izwi lam, wavula umnyango, ndongena endlwini yakhe, ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3:20)

UYESU la mazwi awawabhekisi kubahedeni, kodwa kwicawa yaseLawodikeya. Ewe, thina babhaptiziweyo kufuneka sivulele uYesu iintliziyo zethu. Kwaye ukuba siyakwenza oko, sinokulindela ukuba zenzeke izinto ezimbini.

UKUKHANYA OKUBINI

Ndikhumbula ndisengumntwana xa omnye wabazali bam wavula ucango lwegumbi lethu lokulala ebusuku. Ukukhanya kwakuthuthuzela njengoko kwagqobhoza ubumnyama. Kodwa yayigweba, njengesiqhelo ucango luvulwa ukuxelelwa ukuba sihlale phantsi!

UYesu wathi, “Ndim ukhanyiselo lwehlabathi.” Xa esiza njengokukhanya, ndinokufumana induduzo enkulu kunye novakalelo olunzulu lovuyo okanye uxolo, ngakumbi ekuqaleni kobomi bokomoya okanye ngamaxesha okuguquka okunzulu. Nditsaliwe kukuKhanya, ukujonga ukuKhanya, ukuthanda ukuKhanya. Kodwa kuba ukuKhanya kundithanda kakhulu, xa ndikulungele, Uqala ukutyhila enye into.

Ngesiquphe, izinto ziqala ukuba nzima kwakhona. Kubonakala ngathi ndibuyela umva phantse ngokungenakunceda kwimikhwa yakudala. Ndingafumana isilingo sokuba ndlongondlongo ngakumbi, abanye abantu ukuba bacaphuke ngakumbi, kwaye izilingo zobomi ziba nzima kwaye zinzima. Apha kulapho kufuneka ndiqale ukuhamba ngokholo, njengoko ukubona kwam kubonakala kufihliwe, zonke iimvakalelo, zimkile. Ndingaziva ukuba ukuKhanya kundishiyile. Nangona kunjalo, oku akunjalo kwaphela. UYesu wathembisa ukuba uyakuba nathi kude kube sekupheleni kwephakade. Endaweni yoko, ngoku ndinamava, hayi "ukufudumala" kokuKhanya, kodwa kuko ubumhlophe.

UKUZONWABISA

Into endiyibonayo ngoku yile yesono kwaye ilusizi ukungcola kukhanyiselwe emgangathweni wentliziyo yam. Ndacinga ukuba ndingcwele, kodwa ndafumanisa ngendlela ebuhlungu ukuba andikho lonke. Apha kulapho kufuneka ndivuse ukholo lwam kuYesu njengomsindisi wam. Kuya kufuneka ndizikhumbuze ukuba kutheni ukukhanya kuye kweza kum kwasekuqaleni. Igama likaYesu lithetha "uYahweh uyasindisa." Weza kusisindisa ezonweni zethu. Ke ngoku, uqala ukundisindisa esonweni sam ngokundityhilela ngokukhanya kwenyaniso, kuba uyandithanda.

Aqabuka amehlo [ka-Adam noEva], baziqonda ukuba bahamba ze. (IGenesis 3: 7)

Ngoku uMmangaleli umi kufutshane, esazi kakuhle ukuba ndiza kuba njengoKristu ukuba ndiqala ukuhamba ngokholo. Kwaye ke uthetha amazwi okundityhafisa:

UngumKristu othile! Kukhulu ngokuguquka kwakho! Kukhulu kakhulu kuzo zonke izinto uThixo akwenzele zona! Uye wawa kwakhona koko akusindise kuko. Uyadana. Kutheni uzikhathaza ngokuzama kangaka? Kukuthini ukusetyenziswa? Awusoze ube ngcwele…

Kwaye ngokuqhubekayo uMmangaleli uyahamba.

Kodwa uYesu umi emnyango wentliziyo yam wathi,

Uvule kum umnyango wentliziyo yakho, ukuKhanya kwehlabathi. Ndinovuyo ndize, nangona mna, ndinguThixo, bendisazi ukuba obu bugwenxa buya kuba semgangathweni wentliziyo yakho. Yabona, andize kugweba mna, kodwa ndizokuyicoca, ukuze mna nawe sibe nendawo yokuhlala kunye nokutya kunye.

Esi sigqibo siqinisekileyo sokuba ngcwele sithandeka kakhulu kum. Ndiyayisikelela imizamo yakho kwaye ndizakukunika amathuba okuzingcwalisa. Lumka ungalahleki naliphi na ithuba ubonelelo lwam ekubonelela ngalo ngokungcwaliswa. Ukuba awuphumeleli ekusebenziseni ithuba, musa ukuphulukana noxolo lwakho, kodwa zithobe kakhulu phambi Kwam kwaye, ngokuzithemba okukhulu, zitshonise ngokupheleleyo kwinceba yam. Ngale ndlela, uzuza ngaphezulu kokulahlekileyo, kuba uyawongwa umphefumlo othobekileyo kunokuba umphefumlo ucele ... —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kumphefumlo wam, Iidayari, n. 1361

IIMPENDULO EZIMBINI

Ngoku ndijongane nesigqibo, nokuba ndikholwe kubuxoki bukaSathana, okanye ndamkele uthando nenceba kaThixo. USathana ufuna ukuba ndilingise isono sakhe nekratshi. Uyandilinga ukuba ndibaleke ndiye emnyango ndize ndiwuvale, uzivalela izenzo zam ngamazwi athobekileyo… ukuba ndilusizana olungelolothe, andifanelekanga kuThixo, nesidenge esiqalekisiweyo esifanelwe yiyo yonke into embi.

… Bathunga ke amagqabi omkhiwane kunye, bazenzela imibhinqo ... bazifihla indoda nomfazi wayo kuYehova uThixo. (IGenesis 3: 7-8)

Esinye isigqibo kukwamkela oko ndikubona entliziyweni yam ukuba kunjalo iqiniso. UYesu ufuna ndixelise yena ngoku. Ukuze ube yinyani tho bekile.

Wazithoba, waba ngolulamileyo, wada wesa ekufeni, ukufa ke kwasemnqamlezweni. (BFil 2: 8)

UYesu wathi inyani iyakusikhulula, kwaye eyona nyaniso yokuqala esikhululayo yinyaniso leyo Ndingumoni. Ufuna ndivule ucango lwentliziyo yam ngokuzithoba, ndivume ukuba ndifuna uxolelo kunye nokuphiliswa, kobabalo namandla. Kuyathobeka kakhulu ukwamkela ukuba uYesu ufuna ukundinika oku ngesisa, nangona ndingakulungelanga oko. Ukuba uyandithanda, nangona ndiziva ndingathandeki.

Ubhaptizo lolokuqala umnyango ukungcwaliswa, inkqubo yokuphilisa inxeba lesono santlandlolo. Kusisiqalo, ayisosiphelo. Ngoku uYesu usebenzisa ubabalo lobhaptizo ngokuza njengokukhanya ukuveza isidingo sam somsindisi, isidingo sam sokuphiliswa kunye nokukhululwa. Umnqamlezo acela ukuba ndiwuthathe, emva koko ndimlandele, wenziwe ngemiqadi emibini: eyam ubuthathaka kunye nam ukungabi namandla ukuzisindisa. Ndiza kubamkela ngokuzithoba egxalabeni lam, emva koko landela uYesu eKalvari apho ngamanxeba akhe ndaphiliswa.

NGENKQUBO YESAKHRAMENTI

Ndithatha lo mnqamlezo egxalabeni lam ngalo lonke ixesha ndingena Ukuvuma. Apho, uYesu undilinde ukuba ndivume ubumdaka phantsi kwentliziyo yam, ukuze ayihlambe icoceke ngegazi lakhe. Apho, ndidibana nokuKhanya kwehlabathi okwanguye "iMvana kaThixo esusa izono zehlabathi." Ukuvula umnyango wokuvuma izono kukuvula umnyango wentliziyo yam. Kukungena enyanisweni yokuba ndingubani, ukuze ndihambe kwinkululeko yokuba ndingubani ngokwenene: unyana okanye intombi kaBawo.

UYesu ulungisa intliziyo yam ukuba ayenzele isidlo, hayi ubukho baKhe kuphela, kodwa nobukho bukaYise.

Lowo undithandayo uya kuligcina ilizwi lam; wothi noBawo amthande, size kuye, sihlale naye. (UYohane 14:23)

Ngokuvuma isono sam nokwamkela ukuba uYesu uyiNkosi yam, ndigcina ilizwi lakhe elindibizayo ukuba "ndiguquke kwaye ndizikholelwe iindaba ezilungileyo." Unqwenela ukundomeleza ukuze ndigcine zonke welizwi lakhe, kuba ngaphandle kwakhe, "andinakwenza nto."

Isidlo asizisayo nguMzimba neGazi laKhe. Ndizihlambile ekuvumeni izono, uYesu uza kundizalisa Isonka soBomi. Kodwa angakwenza oko kuphela ukuba bendimvulele kwasekuqaleni intliziyo yam. Ngaphandle koko, uya kuqhubeka eme ngaphandle komnyango, enkqonkqoza.

VULA BONKE IINTLIZIYO ZAKHO

Indlela ekhawulezayo yokudimazeka kukukholelwa ukuba ndakuba ndimamkele uYesu njengomsindisi wam, okanye nje ukuba ndiye kuVuma, ukuba lonke umgangatho wentliziyo yam ngu ogqibeleleyo. Kodwa inyani yile, ndivule ucango lwentliziyo yam kancinci. Kwaye uYesu undibuza kwakhona ukuba vula ngokubanzi umnyango wentliziyo yam. Kwakhona, ndisiva ubushushu bokuKhanya, kwaye nditsaleleke kuYe ngezi ziduduzi. UkuKhanya kukhanyisa ingqondo yam, kundizalisa ngombono omkhulu, umnqweno, kunye nokholo… ukholo lokundilungiselela ukwamkela okuqhubekayo ubumnyama bokuhlanjululwa. Ndivula intliziyo yam kuye ndinqwenela ngakumbi nangakumbi kuye, ukucocwa ngakumbi nangakumbi okuya kwenza ukuba ndimamkele; izilingo nezilingo ziya kuza, kwaye njengoko ukuKhanya kwenyaniso kutyhila ezinye izinto ezingcolileyo, amabala, kunye nokulungiswa okufunekayo, ndaphinda ndajongana nomnqamlezo wemfuno yam, isidingo sam somsindisi.

Kwaye ke uhambo lwam kunye nomnqamlezo luhlala phakathi komgca osoloko uququda weSivumo, kunye nentaba yoMthendeleko weKalvari, ngoVuko oludibanisa zombini. Yindlela enzima kwaye imxinwa.

Kodwa ikhokelela kubomi obungunaphakade.

Zintanda, musani ukumangaliswa kukulingwa ngomlilo phakathi kwenu, ngokungathi kukho into engaqhelekanga eyenzekayo. Yithini, njengoko ningamadlelane ngeentlungu zikaKristu, nivuye; ukuze, nasekutyhilekeni kobuqaqawuli bakhe, nivuye nigcoba. (1 Pet. 4:13)
