Usuku 26
YONKE INTO Ndithe ukuza kuthi ga kweli nqanaba ekuphumeni kwethu kunokushwankathelwa ngale ndlela: ubomi kuKristu buqu ukwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo ngoncedo loMoya oyiNgcwele. Yinto elula nje leyo! Ukuze ukhule ebungcweleni, ufikelele nakwezona ndawo zingcwele zobunye kunye noThixo, akukho mfuneko yokuba ngumfundi wezakwalizwi. Ngapha koko, inokuba sisikhubekiso kwabanye.
Enyanisweni, ubungcwele buquka into enye kuphela: ukunyaniseka ngokupheleleyo ekuthandeni kukaThixo. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla kulungiselelo lukaThixo, iguqulelwe nguJohn Beevers, p. (intshayelelo)
Ngokwenene, uYesu wathi:
Asingabo bonke abathi kum, Nkosi, Nkosi, abaya kungena ebukumkanini bamazulu; kuphela ngulowo wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini. ( Mateyu 7:21 )
Baninzi namhlanje abakhalayo “Nkosi, Nkosi yam, ndineeNkokeli kubuThixo! Nkosi, ndinediploma kuBulungiseleli boLutsha! Nkosi, ndiseke isipostile! Nkosi, Nkosi, ndingumbingeleli! …” Kodwa ngulowo wenza ukuthanda kukaYise abaya kungena ebukumkanini bamazulu. Kwaye oku kuthantamisa kwintando kaThixo koko uYesu akutshoyo xa esithi,
Ukuba anithanga niguquke, nibe njengabantwana, aniyi kukha ningene ebukumkanini bamazulu. ( Mateyu 18:3 )
Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba njengomntwana omncinane? Ifanele ilahlwe ngokupheleleyo kuzo zonke iimeko, enoba injani na, isamkele njengokuthanda kukaThixo. Ngelizwi nje, ku thembeka rhoqo.
UYesu ubonisa iNdlela eLula, okomzuzwana ngomzuzwana uzibophelele ekuthandeni kukaBawo kuzo zonke izinto. Kodwa uYesu akazange aphelele nje ekushumayeleni, Waphila ngayo. Nangona wayenguMntu weSibini kuBathathu Emnye oNgcwele, uYesu uya kwenza nto ngaphandle koYise.
...unyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe, engathanga abone uyise esenza; kuba oko akwenzayo uya kukwenza nonyana wakhe… andifuni kuthanda kwam, ndifuna ukuthanda kukaBawo owandithumayo. ( Yohane 5:19, 30 )
Ayiyothusi na loo nto into yokuba uYesu, okwanguThixo, engenakuthatha inyathelo ngaphandle kokuyenza kunye nakuYise.
UBawo uyasebenza kude kube ngoku, ngoko ke ndisemsebenzini. ( Yohane 5:17 )
Ukuba siqwalasela oosolusapho, abaprofeti, ukuya kuthi ga kuMama wethu osikelelekileyo, siyabona ukuba ubumoya babo, ubomi babo bangaphakathi babubandakanya ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo ngentliziyo, ingqondo nomzimba wabo uphela. Babephi abalathisi babo bokomoya, abacebisi babo, nabacebisi babo bokomoya? Zeziphi iiblogi abazifundileyo okanye iipodcasts abazimameleyo? Kubo, ubomi kuThixo babubalula ukunyaniseka kuzo zonke iimeko.
UMariya wayengoyena ulula kuzo zonke izidalwa, yaye engoyena umanyeneyo ngokusondeleyo kuThixo. Impendulo yakhe kwisithunywa sezulu xa isithi:Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum” (“Makwenzeke kum oko ukuthethileyo”) yayiqulethe yonke imfundiso yobuthixo eyimfihlelo yookhokho bakhe ekwathi yancitshiswa yonke into kubo, njengokuba kunjalo ngoku, kokona kusulungekileyo, nokulula ukuzithoba komphefumlo ekuthandeni kukaThixo, phantsi kwayo nayiphi na indlela. iyaziveza. —Fr. UJean-Pierre Caussade, Ukulahla kulungiselelo lukaThixo, Iincwadi zakudala zeSaint Benedict, iphe. 13-14
YiNdlela elula awathi uYesu ngokwakhe wayithabatha.
…waziqongqotha, ethabatha ubume bekhoboka; wazithoba, waba ngolulamileyo, wada wesa ekufeni, ukufa ke kwasemnqamlezweni. ( Fil 2:7 )
Kwaye ngoku, Walatha iNdlela yakho nam.
Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo, nam ndanithanda; hlalani eluthandweni lwam. Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam, njengokuba nam ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe. ( Yohane 15:9-10 )
Namhlanje, abaninzi bafuna ukuzincamathela kule nto okanye loo moya, lo okanye laa mprofeti, okanye le okanye leya ntshukumo. Mininzi imithontsi emincinane ekhokelela kuThixo, kodwa eyona ndlela ilula, nethe ngqo kukulandela uMlambo Omkhulu wentando kaThixo oqukuqela emithethweni yaKhe, umsebenzi welo xesha, noko kukuthanda kwakhe ukuyekelela kukuveza imini yonke. Le yiNdlela yePilgrim emxinwa ekhokelela kubunzulu bolwazi, ubulumko, ubungcwele nomanyano noThixo olugqwesa zonke ezinye iindlela, ekubeni iyindlela kanye awahamba ngayo uYesu.
