Ixesha Luthando

UKUHLAWULWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 18

Njengexhama elangazelela imilambo yamanzi…

 

MHLAWUMBI uziva ungabunako ubungcwele njengam ekuqhubekeni ukubhala le Lenten Retreat. Kulungile. Emva koko sobabini singene kwindawo ebaluleke kakhulu kulwazi-ngaphandle kwenceba kaThixo, akukho nto sinokuyenza. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba asifanele senze nto.

Ndada ndakhala kuBawo ngenye imini, “Nkosi, ingathi liwaka lezinto ezinditsalayo.” Kwaye impendulo Yakhe yathi, “…kwaye ndikunika ubabalo ngeendlela eziliwaka. Ndikhangeleni, ndilambeleni, ndibizeni—kodwa qinisekani ukuba nikhangela kwiindawo ezifanelekileyo.”

Namhlanje, njengezinye izizukulwana ezingaphambi kwethu, mzuzu ngamnye sihlaselwa ziziphazamiso eziliwaka. Ngokwenyani. Ukuba ayiphumi kunomathotholo, kumabonakude, kuFacebook, kuTwitter, kuPinterest, kuMthunywa, iisayithi ezintsha, iisayithi zemidlalo, iisayithi zeevenkile, umnxeba... ngoku iphuma kwiingcinga zethu, njengoko ixesha lokuhoywa kwesi sizukulwana siphela sobuchwephesha lifinyeziwe. . Kufuneka sinikele ingqalelo koku… i umfanekiso werhamncwa Sele ilufuna unqulo lwethu nozuko lwethu, yaye ngokufuthi sinikezela kuyo ngeendlela eziliwaka ezichuliweyo. ^[1]cf. ISityhi 13:15

Ngoko ke kufuneka sihlolisise kwaye sizibuze lo mbuzo ubalulekileyo: Ndenza ntoni ngexesha lam? Ixesha luthando. Ndichitha ixesha lam kwinto endiyithandayo. Kwaye ngoko, uYesu wathi,

Akukho mntu unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini. Uya kuyithiya enye, ayithande leya, okanye abambelele kule, ayidele leya. ( Mateyu 6:24 )

Ukuze ndivule indlela yesihlanu yobukho bukaThixo, kufuneka ndibuze ukuba ndifana nomdumisi:

Njengexhama elitsalela emifuleni yamanzi, Wenjenjalo ukutsalela kuwe, Thixo, umphefumlo wam. Umphefumlo wam unxanela uThixo, uThixo ophilileyo; Ndingangena nini na ndibubone ubuso bukaThixo? ( INdumiso 42: 2-3 )

Ukuba ke ndithe ndavuma ukuba andimfuni uThixo, ndilambele yena, ndimbize… oko kungenxa yokuba intliziyo yam yahlulelene. Njengoko ingoma kaJohnny Lee ihamba, "Ndandikhangela uthando kuzo zonke iindawo ezingalunganga…” Kodwa qiniseka, uThixo usakufuna, kwaye enze ukuba kwenzeke ngeendlela ezincinci eziliwaka. Kwaye ke, njengoko omnye umbhali weengoma wabhala kwiNdumiso 43 :

Thumela ukukhanya kwakho nokuthembeka kwakho, ukuze babe ngumkhokeli wam; Mazindise entabeni yakho engcwele, endaweni ohlala kuyo. (INdu. 43: 3)

Umbuzo awungowokuba unxanelwe okanye awunxanelwe uthando, intsingiselo kunye nenjongo. Sonke sinjalo. Umbuzo ngowokuba sijonge phi ukuphelisa unxano lwethu. Ke, namhlanje, uYesu ukucela ukuba wenze isigqibo sobugorha. Sisigqibo ukwenza ixesha laKhe. Hayi, kungaphezu koko: ukungcwalisa zonke ixesha lakho kuye...

Ke ngoko nokuba niyadla, nokuba niyasela, nokuba nenza yiphi na into, zenzeleni uzuko lukaThixo izinto zonke; nokuba nithi nikwenze, ngelizwi, nokuba kungomsebenzi, yenzani izinto zonke egameni leNkosi uYesu, nibulela kuye uThixo uYise. ( 1 Kor 10:13; Kol 3:17 )

Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, umalathisi wam wokomoya wandibuza, “Bunjani ubomi bakho bomthandazo?” Ndaza ndaphendula ndathi ndandixakeke ngokwenene, ndandifuna ukuthandaza, kodwa ndandilandelelwa, njalo njalo. Yaye waphendula, “Ukuba anithandazi, nidlala ngexesha lam.” Kwaye ngaloo mzuzu, ndaqonda: ukuba andenzi xesha leNkosi-ixesha lokuthandaza, ukuthula, kunye nokucamngca-ngoko ndiyadlala. my ixesha ngokunjalo.

Kwaye ke, andifuni ukuchitha ixesha lakho nawe. Namhlanje, mna nawe kufuneka senze isigqibo sobugorha ukuba sinqwenela ukukhula sibe ngamaKristu aqolileyo: ukuba siza kunikela ixesha kuYesu yonke imihla. Yintoni yokwenza ngelo xesha yile nto siza kuxoxa ngayo kwiintsuku ezizayo…

 

ISISHWANKATHELO NESIBHALO

Sinika ixesha kwizinto esizithandayo. Lixesha lokuba wenze isigqibo sobuqhawe sokubuyisela ixesha kuThixo.

Musani ke ukuthatha isimilo sabantu beli phakade, kodwa iingqondo zenu maziguquke zihlaziyeke, nize niyiqonde into okuyiyo ukuthanda kukaThixo okulungileyo, okukholekileyo, okuzalisekileyo. ( Roma 12:2 )
