Imbewu yeThemba… nesilumkiso

I fumana lo ngowona ucelomngeni kuyo yonke imizekeliso yeVangeli, kuba ndizibona ndikumhlaba omnye okanye komnye. Kukangaphi iNkosi ithetha ilizwi entliziyweni yam… ndiyilibale msinyane! Kukangaphi inceba nentuthuzelo yoMoya indizisela uvuyo, kwaye emva koko olona vavanyo lincinci lundiphinda ndibhideke kwakhona. Kukangaphi amaxhala neenkxalabo zeli lizwe zindithathela kude nenyaniso yokuba uThixo usoloko endiphatha entendeni yesandla saKhe… Ah, ukulibala okuqalekisiweyo!

Kodwa ufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje kunye neNdumiso zinikela intuthuzelo kwabo bangathuthuzelekanga. Bathetha nge thembiso. Kwaye isithembiso sesi:

Ndiya kuhlala ndimthanda ngonaphakade; umnqophiso wam naye uhleli uqinile. Ndiya kuwuzinzisa ngonaphakade ubukhosi bakhe, itrone yakhe ibe njengemihla yamazulu. ( INdumiso 89 )

Umnqophiso kaBawo, uBukumkani, ngoKristu Yesu, uyamiselwa ngonaphakade. Kwaye kuthi, uYesu uthi, "Imfihlelo yoBukumkani uyinikiwe.” Ngoobani “wena” Athetha ngabo? Ngabo bathe bajonga kwaye babona, beva kwaye baqonda, kwaye bayiqalisile inkqubo yokuguquka. Isithembiso sesokuba uThixo akayi ndawo, nokuba uya kulugcina uthando lwakhe nakuthi ngonaphakade.

Musani ukoyika kwakhona, mhlambi mncinane; ngokuba kukholekile kuYihlo ukuninika ubukumkani. ( Luka 12:32 )

Usenokubuza, “Kodwa ndisoloko ndisilela, ndihlala ndisilela emhlabeni! Ungathini na ke ukutsho ukuba ndiyabona? Inyaniso yokuba uyazi ukuba uyasilela undixelela ukuba uyabona, yaye ubona ngokucacileyo! Ninoyolo nina niyibonayo intswelo yenu; Usikelelwe kakhulu nina nibaziyo apho ukujikela kwintswelo yakho: kuYesu. Uyabona, nalo "lilizwi" elihlwayelwe endleleni, iLizwi elithi "Buyela kum." Ukuba u ukuzwa oku kunye lalela, yazini ngoko ukuba ninalo iLizwi, nokuba anilahlekwa;

Lowo unaye uNyana, unabo ubomi; ( 1 Yohane 5:12 )

Ngenxa yokuba usilela ngamaxesha athile ngenxa yobuthathaka okanye ukungakhathali akuthethi ukuba yonke intsimi yentliziyo yakho imbi. Kuthetha ukuba unendawo encinci apha, indawo encinci apho yentliziyo yakho efuna ukuguqulwa okunzulu, amanzi amaninzi, ukukhanya okuncinci, uthando kunye nomoya. Kwaye ewe, le nto kufuneka siyithathe nzulu, ngokuzolileyo kwaye ngabom sikhuphe ukhula njengoko lukhula. Kodwa musa ukuphelelwa lithemba! Umlimi osilelayo ngulowo utyeshela ukhula, ingenguye lowo ulunyamekelayo.

Ngaphezu kwako konke, musa ukuyenza lukhuni intliziyo yakho. Intliziyo elukhuni ngulowo ungasafuni kubona nokuva; lowo uluthiyileyo ukhanyiso, ngokuba lutyhila ubumnyama; oyena nelona lizwi limnandi, linyanzelisayo, nelona lizwi linobubele lingenako ukungena. Ethetha ngeVangeli yanamhlanje, uGqr. Scott Hahn ubhala athi:

Ngenxa yemvukelo ezingisileyo, uSirayeli waba yimfama waza waziva izilumkiso zabaprofeti. Umsebenzi kaIsaya wawuyoyikekayo wokushumayela ngomgwebo kwisizukulwana sakhe esinxaxhileyo de intshabalalo nokuthinjwa kuya kufikela bonke ngaphandle kwentsalela engcwele yabantu. —UGqr. Scott Hahn, Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, "IVangeli kaMarko", iphepha 24-25

Musa ukuwela kumgibe we ukuzicingela okungenampilo kunye nokuzisizela, kodwa bulela uThixo ukuba usindisiwe ngothando lwakhe, ukuba ubone iimpazamo zakho, kwaye uve uthando lwakhe kunye nenceba yakhe kwakhona. Mbulele ngokuba uyinxalenye yentsalela yaKhe. Mcele ukuba akuncede usasaze imbewu yeendaba ezilungileyo kwabanye ukuze intsalela ikhule kwaye ikhule kwaye iqalise ukugubungela ihlabathi lonke.

Ukuba uyakwazi “ukubona” kwaye “uyive” into endiyithethayo, kwaye uqalise ukuthandaza ngolu hlobo, sele uthwele “iziqhamo amashumi amathathu anamashumi amathandathu anekhulu. "
