EZI ziintsuku apho uYesu asicela ukuba sibe nazo ukuthembeka okupheleleyo kunye nokugqibeleleyo. Ingavakala ngathi yinto nje, kodwa ndiyayiva yonke le nto entliziyweni yam. Simele simthembe ngokupheleleyo u Yesu, kuba imihla iyeza xa eya kuthi konke kuya kufuneka sixhomekeke kuye.
UKUTSIBA
Umfanekiso endinawo entliziyweni yam kule veki mde, iliwa eliphakamileyo. UYesu undicela ukuba ndihlele ezantsi. Kwaye ke ndibopha zonke izixhobo, imigca yokhuseleko, isigcina-ntloko, iipiks njl njl kwaye ndiqala ukwehla kancinci, ndisebenzisa bonke ubuchule bendalo, ulwazi kunye nezakhono. Emva koko ndiva uYesu esithi, "Hayi… ndifuna ukuba xhuma!"Ndijonge ezantsi kumwonyo, kwaye ugutyungelwe ngamafu. Andiboni emazantsi. Waphinda uYesu wathi," Tsibela. Ndithembe. Ihla."
UThixo uyasikhupha kwindlwane yentuthuzelo, ngokungathi kunjalo. Ingavakala ngathi kukutyhala okanye ukufinya, kodwa ubukhulu becala ngumqondiso wothando lwabazali. Lixesha lokuba abantwana bafunde ngokubhabha… kwe imimoya yenguqu silapha, silungele ukusihambisa siye kwimimandla emitsha yoMoya, emagameni, nasemaphupheni, nakwimibono ekade yaxelwa kwangaphambili.
Eyona nto inzima kwimeko okuyo, kokukhona kuya kufuneka uyeke kwaye uthembe ngoku. Kufuneka sifunde ukubhabha ngokupheleleyo kumaphiko obukumkani bakhe.
Ngaba unetyala? Malunga nokuphulukana nehempe yakho? Emva koko yithi, "Nkosi, hayi ihempe yam yodwa, kodwa nawe unganazo izihlangu zam! Ndiyakuthemba kuwe ngayo yonke into, nangazo zonke iinkcukacha." Uyabona ukuba ndithetha ukuthini? Oko kubizwa ngokuba kukutsiba. Oko kubizwa ngokuba kukuthembela, apho ushiya yonke into kuye. Akukho ngqiqweni. Kububudenge. Kubizwa ngokuba lukholo: xa umntu engasathembeli kubukrelekrele bakhe ukuhlela ubomi okanye ukuhamba kumazwe angaziwayo, kodwa amanyathelo abheka phambili kubumnyama bokholo.
Kholosa ngoYehova ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ungayami okwakho ukuqonda. Kuzo zonke iindlela zakho mazi, kwaye uya kuwulungisa imikhondo yakho. (IMiz. 3: 5-6)
UKUWA KWASimahla SOKHOLO
Kutshanje xa sisiya eToronto, inqwelomoya yethu ibisihla kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ngenxa yesaqhwithi. Ngokukhawuleza, andiphindanga ndawubona umhlaba ngenxa yamafu. Kwakungathi sisehla-ngokukhawuleza. Ndandinoluvo lokuba besingazi ukuba siza kubetha umhlaba, xa ngequbuliso sinyuka ngamafu, siphezulu emhlabeni. Umqhubi wenqwelomoya wayeyazi into ayenzayo emva kwayo yonke loo nto!
Xa uziva ukhululekile ebomini, unokwenza izinto ezimbini: ukothuka, ukumbombozela, kwaye ube mbi okanye uxinezeleke, lolunye uhlobo lokuzingca. Okanye ungavumela uhambe ukhwele imimoya, unethemba lokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uya kukusa kanye apho ufuna ukuya khona. Nokuba siyamthemba uThixo ukuba aqhube ubomi bethu, okanye senze ngathi siyayazi indlela yokubhabha i-jetliner kwaye sizithathele ngokwethu ulawulo, zihlala zineziphumo ezibi.
Kuya kufuneka siliqonde icala elifihlakeleyo lokubandezeleka. Ngobuso bayo, ijongeka yoyikeka. Kodwa xa sidlula kuyo, siqonda intando kaThixo kwindawo ecekeceke yokungonwabi, ukubandezeleka kwethu akunako ukucoca kuphela, kodwa kuba ngumnyango wenkululeko yangaphakathi kunye noxolo olungachazekiyo.
UYesu ucela ukuba siyiyeke. Yeka into ongenakukwazi ukuyilawula. Liyeke eli hlabathi kunye neenkanuko zalo ezingekhoyo eziqala ukunyibilika ngaphambi kobushushu obuzayo Ilanga loBulungisa. Lo moya womntwana wokuzinikezela uya kubaluleka kumaxesha azayo emhlabeni.
Xa ubuzwa njani UFrederick Dominguez nabantwana bakhe abathathu basinda Iintsuku ezintathu zilahlekile ehlathini laseKhalifoniya kule veki, utata uphendule wathi: "NguYesu Krestu."
Tsiba. Uya kuba lapho ukukubamba.
Nyana wam, xa uthe weza wakukhonza uYehova, Zilungiselele izilingo; Yiba nentliziyo ethembekileyo kwaye uqine, ungaphazanyiswa ngexesha lobunzima. Ncamathela kuye, ungamshiyi; ikamva lakho ke liya kuba likhulu. Yamkela nantoni na eyenzekayo kuwe, xa utyumza amashwa ube nomonde; kuba igolide iyavavanywa ngomlilo, kwaye amadoda afanelekileyo kwi-crucible yehlazo. Thembela kuThixo kwaye uya kukunceda; lungisani iindlela zenu nithembele kuye. Nina boyiki bakaYehova, lindani nenceba yakhe, ningabuyi umva hleze niwe. Nina nimoyikayo uNdikhoyo, kholosani ngaye! Nina boyiki bakaYehova, lindelani izinto ezilungileyo, uvuyo olukhulu nenceba. (Mnumzana 2: 1-9)
