I ndifuna ukukuxelela imfihlo. Kodwa ayisiyomfihlo konke konke kuba ivulekile. Kwaye yile: umthombo kunye nomthombo wolonwabo lwakho intando kaThixo. Ngaba uyavuma ukuba, ukuba uBukumkani bukaThixo bulawula ekhayeni lakho nasentliziyweni yakho, ungonwaba, ukuba kungabakho uxolo nemvisiswano? Ukuza koBukumkani bukaThixo, mfundi othandekayo, kuyafana ne Ukwamkela intando yaKhe. Kuyinyani, siyithandazela yonke imihla:
Mabufike ubukumkani bakho, mayenziwe intando yakho emhlabeni, njengokuba isenziwa eZulwini...
UPope Benedict wakha wathi:
… Yonke imihla emthandazweni kaBawo wethu sicela iNkosi: “Intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni, njengokuba isenziwa ezulwini” (Mat 6:10)…. Siyaqonda ukuba "izulu" kulapho intando kaThixo yenziwa khona, kwaye "umhlaba" uba "lizulu" -ie, indawo yobukho bothando, yokulunga, yenyaniso kunye nobuhle bukaThixo-kuphela ukuba emhlabeni intando kaThixo yenziwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, ngoFebruwari 1, 2012, kwisiXeko saseVatican
UKumkani uDavide (kudala ngaphambi kokuba uYesu athi, “Okwam ukudla kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ndiwufeze umsebenzi wakhe” [1]John 4: 34) wangcamla ngokunzulu umthombo woku kutya kukaThixo. Umthombo wovuyo lwakhe lwalungekho kubutyebi okanye isikhundla, kodwa ngokulula, ukwenza intando kaThixo ngaphandle kokulalanisa kuyo yonke into encinane.
Ndinemihlali ngendlela yemimiselo yakho, Ngathi kusebubutyebini bonke. Ewe, imimiselo yakho iyandiyolisa; bangabacebisi bam bona. Hayi, ukuba mnandi kwentetho yakho ekhuhlangubeni lam! Igqithe nobusi emlonyeni wam! Lilifa lam ngonaphakade imimiselo yakho; luvuyo lwentliziyo yam bona. Ndikhamisile, ndilangazelela imithetho yakho. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)
Ukuba uyakrokrela ukuba uDavide waba nemincili kukuthanda kukaThixo, unyanisile. Kuba ukungena kwiNtando yobuThixo kungaphezulu nje kokuphumeza isenzo. Kukungena kobona bomi, ukuyila, iintsikelelo, ubabalo, nothando lukaBathathu Emnye. Kufuneka uyithembe le nto—kuthiwa lukholo! Ukuphila ekuthandeni kukaThixo akuthethi “ukugcina imiyalelo,” kodwa umzuzwana ngamnye wosuku lwakho uzabalazela ukuphila “kwiNtando yobuThixo”, ngokuyinxenye, ngokwenza “umsebenzi welo xesha” ngokwendawo yakho ebomini. Ukuba uMhlaba ubunokuwushiya umjikelo wawo kangangeentsuku nje ezimbalwa, okanye uthambekele kude neLanga kangangeveki okanye ezimbini, oko bekuya kwenza isijikelezi-langa sibe sisidubedube. Ngokunjalo ke, xa siphuma ekuthandeni kukaThixo, nokuba kuncinane, kuphosa uxolo lwethu lwangaphakathi kunye nolwalamano olungenamkhethe.
Andikwazi ukuphinda la magama ngokwaneleyo:
UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org
Kodwa le mfuno kaKristu yokulandela ukuthanda kwakhe ayikokukholisa uThixo othile onomsindo ovela kude, othumela iindudumo xa siphambuka...
Ndiyakwazi! Ndikwenzile! Ndiyayazi into endikwenzele yona! Oku ke kukuthi, ukundithanda kwam ngentliziyo yenu yonke, ukuze ndininike mna nonke.
Ukuba niyandithanda, yigcineni imithetho yam. (UYohane 14:15)
Ngokufuthi, sichitha usuku lwethu silalanisa—ingakumbi kwizinto ezincinci. Kodwa xa sifika ekurhatyeleni, asiphumli, asanelisekanga, asinaluxolo. Lo nguMoya oyiNgcwele osiholayo, esithi, "Mayenziwe intando yam, hayi eyakho..." Xa ekugqibeleni sinikezela ekuthandeni kukaThixo, siya kufumana izinto ezimbini. Okokuqala, ukuba intando yaKhe imnandi, kuba inika ukukhanya entliziyweni nomphefumlo, kunye nenkululeko noxolo kwisazela somntu. Kodwa siya kufumanisa ukuba intando yakhe inokuba buhlungu kuba ifuna ukwaliwa kwentando yethu, izicwangciso zethu kunye nolawulo. Oku kuboniswe kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje:
Ndawuthabatha umsongo omncinane esandleni sesithunywa eso, ndawuginya. Emlonyeni wam bekunencasa yobusi; kodwa ndakuyidla, saba muncu isisu sam. Waza wathi kum, Umele ukuba ubuye uprofete ngabantu, nezizwe, neelwimi, nookumkani, abaninzi.
Xa siphila kwintando kaThixo, siba ngowaKhe mangqina, siba yimiqondiso yokuphikisana kweli hlabathi linemvukelo. Lo ngundoqo wentsingiselo yokuba ngumprofeti: ukuba ngumqondiso owalatha ngaphaya kwenyama, ukuya kwiphakade, ekulangazeleleni kweentliziyo zethu, enguThixo ngokwakhe.
Intliziyo ehlala ibhiyozela intando kaThixo kunye nobomi obunikelayo ifana nengoma yekwayala. Iba ngumnxeba ocacileyo kubo bonke abafunayo nabangakufumaniyo, kubo bonke abo bayeka kudala ukucula nabashiye naluphi na uhlobo lomdaniso. -Catherine de Hueck Doherty, ukusuka IVangeli ngaphandle kokuLalanisa
UKumkani uDavide waxhentsa ngokuthanda kukaThixo. UMariya waguquka kwintando kaThixo. UYohane oNgcwele wanyukela ekubetheni kwentliziyo kaKristu. Kwaye uYesu wawatshixela onke amanyathelo obomi bakhe emanyathelweni kaYise.
NguMdaniso Omkhulu, kwaye wena mphefumlo othandekayo, umenyiwe.
KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA
Ukuza okuNtsha kunye nobuNgcwele obuNgcwele
Siya kubulela kakhulu ukuba unokunikela
kwinxalenye “yomngqungqo” wethu—lo mpostile ubhalayo.
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
