UTHIXO ayinasiphelo. Uhlala ekhona. Wazi konke…. kwaye Unguye yokumisa.
Kufike ilizwi kum ngomthandazo ngale ntsasa ndiziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndibelane nawe:
KuThixo wakho, kukho iziqalo esingenasiphelo, amathupha amatsha wobabalo, kunye nemvula engapheliyo yokukhuthaza nokondla ubomi obutsha. Ulidabi mntanam. Kufuneka uqale ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Ungaze uthandabuze ukuqala kwakhona ngam! Ndiza kuwuphakamisa umphefumlo othobekileyo nangaphezulu kunokuba wawunjalo ngaphambi kokuwa, kuba ubulumko buwuphakamisa phezulu.
Intliziyo yakho mayihlale ivulekile, kwaye andiyi kuthandabuza ukuyigcwalisa ngokulunga kwam. Ayiloqhinga leentshaba eli-lokuvala intliziyo yakho kum ngokungathandabuzi nokuphelelwa lithemba? Ndithi kuwe mntwana, ayisosono sakho esindigcinayo, kodwa kukuswela ukholo. Ndingazenza zonke izinto entliziyweni yomoni okholwayo aze aguquke; kodwa kulowo uzivalela ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, uThixo uyanqandwa. UGrace ukhawulezela ngokuchasene nentliziyo yomphefumlo njengamaza atshona eludongeni lwamatye, abuye kwakhona engakhange angene kuwo.
… Ngoku musani ukuba zizidenge, kodwa hambani ngeendlela endinifundisa zona. Lumka; musa ukulala; ndiqwalasele, kuba uthando luhlala lukuqwalasele.
UKUTHEMBEKA KUYINTLOKO
Ekugqibeleni, isono sokuqala sika-Adam no-Eva sasingu ukungathembi kuThixo, ibonakaliswe kwisenzo sokungathobeli. Kwaye kuhlala kuyindlela esibonisa ngayo ukuswela kwethu ukholo kuThixo: ngokuthatha inyathelo elichasene noko 
Ukuthanda kwakhe, ngokuchasene nesazela sethu. Xa sinyanzelekile, sinyamezele, sinomsindo, okanye singenamonde, kuhlala kungenxa yokuba siyekile ukholo lwethu kuBawo ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zethu nokwenza izinto ngokwecebo lakhe. Asonwabanga sisicwangciso saKhe kuba sithatha ixesha elide, iindlela ezininzi kakhulu, okanye asisosiphumo ebesisilindele. Kwaye ke siyavukela. Lo ngumdlalo weqonga obalulekileyo kwimbali yoluntu edlala kwisizukulwana ngasinye, ukusukela komncinci kuye koyena mkhulu, ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo. Ukufana nothixo yayiyikamva esadalelwa lona; ukuba ngoothixo sisiphelo esibuqondayo xa sisala isicwangciso soMdali kwaye sifikelele kwisiqhamo esalelweyo sesono.
UThixo uyazi kakuhle ukuba ngalo mzuzu nisitya kuwo amehlo enu aya kuvuleka kwaye niya kuba njengoothixo abakwaziyo okulungileyo nokubi. (IGenesis 3: 5)
Ewe, isono sivula iindlela ezimbini phambi kwethu: kokulungileyo nokubi. Ngokuchanekileyo kule foloko isendleleni apho uMnqamlezo kaKristu umiswe khona. Kweli nqanaba lokumka, uYesu usibiza ukuba silandele umendo olungileyo, iNdlela elungileyo ekhokelela kubomi obungunaphakade. Isono siyenza mnyama ingqondo kwaye sinakho ukuyenza lukhuni intliziyo. Lixesha lesigqibo ke… ndiza kuthembela kuye, ndiguquke kuye, ndamkele iNdlela, indlela yakhe, eyimithetho yakhe nomzekelo wakhe? Okanye ndiza kwala uthando lwakhe, khetha my indlela, kunye noseto lwam "lwemiyalelo" ebhalwe igama lakho?
Kuba ukumthanda uThixo kuko ukuthi, siyigcine imithetho yakhe; Kwaye ayinzima imiyalelo yakhe, kuba nabani na ozelwe nguThixo uyaloyisa ihlabathi. Kwaye uloyiso oloyisa umhlaba lukholo lwethu. (1 Yohane 5: 3-4)
Umyalezo kaYesu ucacile, mhle, yingoma yothando: Isono sakho kunye nehlazo lakho alundigxothi, kodwa kukuswela kwakho ukholo kuba sendifile ukususa isono sakho. Kufuneka uthembele kuthando nenceba yaM, uze uze undilandele…
Okukhona umphefumlo uzithoba, kokukhona ububele iNkosi isondela kuwo. —St. UFaustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1092
Mntwana wam, zonke izono zakho khange ziyilimaze Intliziyo yam kabuhlungu njengokungazithembi kwakho okwenzileyo emva kokuba kwenziwe iinzame ezininzi zothando nenceba yam, kusafuneka ukuthandabuze ukulunga kwam.. —UYesu ukuya eSt. Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1486
Iimpawu zenceba yam zitsalelwa kwisitya esinye kuphela, kwaye yile. Okukhona umphefumlo uthembela, kokukhona uya kufumana. Imiphefumlo ekholosayo ngokungathethekiyo iyintuthuzelo enkulu kum, ngokuba ndibuthululela kubo bonke ubuncwane bezinto zam zobugcisa. Ndiyavuya kuba becela kakhulu, kuba ngumnqweno wam ukunikela kakhulu, kakhulu. Kwelinye icala, ndibuhlungu xa imiphefumlo icela okuncinci, xa bezicinezela iintliziyo zabo. -UYesu waya eSt. Faustina, n. 1578
Xa usiya kwisivumo, yazi oku, ukuba mna ngokwam ndikulindile apho. Ndifihlakele kuphela ngumfundisi, kodwa mna ngokwam ndisebenza emphefumlweni wakho. Apha usizi lomphefumlo luhlangana noThixo wenceba. Xelela imiphefumlo ukuba kulo mthombo wenceba uzuze ubabalo kuphela ngesitya sokuthemba. Ukuba ukuthembela kwabo kukhulu, akukho mda kwisisa sam. Imilambo yobabalo izalisa imiphefumlo ethobekileyo. Abanekratshi bahlala behleli kwintlupheko nakusizi, kuba ubabalo lwam lujikile kubo luye kwimiphefumlo ethobekileyo. —N. 1602
Mntwana wam, yenza isigqibo sokuba ungaze uthembele ebantwini. Zithembise ngokupheleleyo kwintando yam uthi, "Hayi njengoko ndifuna, kodwa ngokwentando yakho, Thixo, mayenziwe kum." La magama, athethwe emazantsi entliziyo kabani, anokuphakamisa umphefumlo uye kwindibano yobungcwele ngexesha elifutshane. Umphefumlo onjalo ndivuya. Umphefumlo onjalo undinika uzuko. Umphefumlo onjalo ugcwalisa izulu ngevumba lokulunga kwalo. Kodwa qonda ukuba amandla okunyamezela ukubandezeleka avela kuMthendeleko oqhelekileyo. Sondela ke kulo mthombo wenceba rhoqo, uzobe ngesitya sokuthemba nantoni na oyifunayo. —N. 1487
