THE Intlango yomphefumlo yindawo apho intuthuzelo yomile khona, iintyatyambo zomthandazo omnandi ziye zoma, kwaye indawo entle yobukho bukaThixo ibonakala ngathi sisanga nje. Ngala maxesha, ungaziva ngokungathi uThixo akasamkeli, ukuba uyaphambuka, ulahlekile kwintlango enkulu yobuthathaka bomntu. Xa uzama ukuthandaza, iisanti zokuphazamiseka zigcwalisa amehlo akho, kwaye ungaziva ulahlekile, ulahlwe ngokupheleleyo… ungenakuzinceda.
Indawo kaThixo emphefumlweni wam ayinanto. Akukho Thixo kum. Xa iintlungu zokulangazelela zikhulu kangaka-ndirhalela uThixo… kwaye ke kukuba ndiziva ukuba akandifuni — Akakho — uThixo akandifuni. -Umama uTeresa, Yiza ngokuKhanya kwam, UBrian Kolodiejchuk, uMC; iphe. 2
Umntu ulufumana njani uxolo novuyo kule meko? Ndikuxelela, apho is indlela, indlela enqumla kule ntlango.
AMANYATHELO AQINISEKILEYO
Ngala maxesha, xa iLanga libonakala lifihliwe ziinkqwithela zentlabathi, thoba amehlo akho, jonga phantsi ezinyaweni zakho, kuba apho uya kufumana inyathelo elilandelayo.
UYesu wathi:
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe.
(UYohane 15: 10-11)
Wazi njani ukuba uhlala noThixo kwaye uThixo unawe? Ukuba uyayigcina imithetho yakhe. Indlela enqumla entlango akufuneki igwetywe ziimvakalelo okanye imvakalelo yokuthanjiswa. Iimvakalelo zii-phantoms eziza kwaye zihambe. Yintoni ikhonkrithi? Intando kaThixo ngobomi bakho-imiyalelo yakhe, uxanduva lomzuzu-Into efunekayo kuwe ngokobizo lwakho njengomama, utata, umntwana, ubishophu, umfundisi, unongendi, okanye umntu ongatshatanga.
Okwam ukutya kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo… (Yohane 4:34)
Xa uziva ukungxama koMoya, mbulele uThixo ngenxa yobabalo. Xa udibana nobukho baKhe, Msikelele. Xa izivamvo zakho zitsala ukuthanjiswa kwaKhe, Mdumise. Kodwa xa ungaziva nto kodwa ukoma kwentlango, ungacingi ukuba indlela ikhutshiwe ngaphantsi kwakho. Iqinisekile njengakuqala:
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam;… Ndikunikile umzekelo ukuba uwulandele, ukuze, njengoko ndenze ngako kuwe, nawe wenze. (UYohane 13:15; 15:10)
Xa uhlamba izitya, wena are ukuhlala kuThixo, nokuba uziva into okanye hayi. Le "yidyokhwe elula nomthwalo olula". Kutheni ujonga iindlela ezinkulu zokuguqulwa ngokomoya xa unikwe eyona ndlela ilula neqinisekileyo yobungcwele? Indlela yothando…
Kuba ukumthanda uThixo kuko ukuthi, siyigcine imithetho yakhe; Kwaye ayinzima imiyalelo yakhe. (1 Yohane 5: 3)
INDLELA YOTHANDO
Ngale ndlela entlango kushwankathelwe ngesivakalisi esinye:
Nguwo lo umthetho wam: thandanani, njengoko ndinithandayo nina. (UYohane15: 12)
Esona silingo sijongene naso entlango kukudimazeka, okunokukhokelela kumsindo, ubukrakra, intliziyo elukhuni, kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba ngokupheleleyo. Kule meko, sinokude sizalisekise imiyalelo kaThixo, kodwa ngendlela eyenzakalisa abamelwane bethu ngokumbombozela, ukukhalaza, ukungabi namonde nomsindo. Hayi, kufuneka sihlale sizenza ezi zinto zincinci, uxanduva lomzuzu, ngothando olukhulu.
Uthando luzeka kade umsindo, lunobubele; uthando alunamona okanye luqhayise; ayiziphakamisi okanye ikrwada. Uthando alunyanzelisi indlela yalo; alunomsindo okanye ingqumbo; aluvuyeli kungalungisi; luvuyisana nolungileyo. Uthando luthwala zonke izinto… (1 Kor. 13: 4-7)
Ngaphandle kothando, utsho uPaul Paul, andizuzi nto. Ukuba uyasilela kule nto, kufuneka ucele kuphela ubabalo lokubuyisela intliziyo yakho kwakhona, ngesigqibo esiqinileyo sothando phantsi kwazo zonke iimeko.
INDLELA EMFUTSHANE
Igama "ukuhlala" okanye "ukuhlala" kuYesu livela kwisiGrike, "hupomeno" elithetha ukuba hlala phantsi or unyamezele iinkxwaleko, iintshutshiso, okanye ukucaphukisa ngokholo nomonde. Ewe kufuneka unyamezele kule ndlela, “indlela emxinwa nenzima.” Injalo kuba ibandakanya umlo nehlabathi, inyama, kunye nomtyholi. “Kulula” kuba imiyalelo yakhe ayinkulu kakhulu; "kunzima" ngenxa yenkcaso kunye nesilingo oza kuziva. Ke, kuya kufuneka ube mzuzu nomzuzwana njengomntwana omncinci, uhlala uzithoba phambi kwakhe ngazo zonke iintsilelo zakho namanyathelo akho amabi. Nalu ukholo olomeleleyo: ukuthembela kwinceba yakhe xa ungafanelekanga.
Le Ndlela yentlango inokunyathelwa kuphela ngabathobekileyo bentliziyo… kodwa uThixo ukufuphi nabathobekileyo nabantliziyo zaphukileyo! (INdumiso 34:19) Ngoko ungoyiki, kwanokusilela kwakho. Phakama! Hamba nam! Ndikufuphi, Utsho uYesu. Ndihambile le ndlela yobuthathaka babantu, kwaye ndiya kuphinda ndihambe nayo, Mvana wam.
Thulisa ingqondo yakho, ungazihoyi iimvakalelo zakho, kwaye ujonge umzuzu wangoku, ubuze, "Yintoni uxanduva lwam ngoku?" Eli linyathelo elilandelayo kuhambo lwakho olunzulu kuThixo, uhambo oluthi, ngaphandle kweemvakalelo zakho, kukhokelela kwinkululeko novuyo. Thembela eLizwini lakhe, hayi kwiimvakalelo zakho, kwaye uyakufumana uxolo:
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe. Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam lube kuni, novuyo lwenu luzaliseke. (UYohane 15: 10-11)
Ngokwenyani, ubungcwele bunento enye kuphela: ukunyaniseka okupheleleyo kwintando kaThixo…. Ufuna izinto ezifihlakeleyo zikaThixo, kodwa inye kuphela: ukusebenzisa nantoni na akunikeza yona…. Isiseko esikhulu nesomeleleyo sobomi bokomoya kukuzinikela kwethu kuThixo kwaye sithobele intando yakhe kuzo zonke izinto…. Ngokwenene uThixo uyasinceda nokuba singaziva njani ukuba siphulukene nenkxaso yakhe. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla kulungiselelo lukaThixo
