Kutheni singaliva iLizwi lakhe

UYESU wathi iigusha zam ziyaliva ilizwi lam. Akazange athi “ezinye” iigusha, kodwa my iigusha ziyaliva ilizwi lam. Ke ngoko kutheni ubuza, ukuba ndingaliveli ilizwi lakhe? Ukufundwa kwanamhlanje kunika izizathu zokuba kutheni.

NdinguNdikhoyo, uThixo wakho; live ilizwi lam. Ndakuvavanya emanzini aseMeribha. Yivani, bantu bam, ndikuqononondise; Sirayeli, akuyiva na? (INdumiso yanamhlanje)

IMeribha neMasa zikhankanywe izihlandlo ezininzi eSibhalweni njengeendawo apho abantu babemvavanya khona uThixo. IMeribha ithetha “usukuzwano,” indawo apho amaSirayeli aphikisana noThixo. IMasa kuthetha "ukuvavanywa." UThixo hayi kuphela thembiso, kodwa amaxesha ngamaxesha zibonakaliswe Ukubonelela kwakhe. Kodwa xa iimvavanyo zaphinda zafika, baqala ukuphakuzela nokukhathazeka kwaye baba nomsindo, betyhola uThixo ngokuba uzilibele.

Ndenze okufanayo! Ngexesha lokuthandabuza nokuphelelwa lithemba, ndiye ndasilela ukuva uThixo kuba andisahambi ngokholo, kodwa kukubona; Ndiqalile ukumamela ezam iindlela zokuqiqa kunye nengcinga, kwindudumo nemibane yesaqhwithi engqondweni yam, kunokuba "ndilizwi elincinci" leNkosi. ^[1]cf. 1 OoKum 19:12 IsiBhalo sithi…

… Ufunyanwa ngabo bangamvavanyi, azibonakalise kwabo bangakholelwayo kuye. Ubulumko 1: 2

UBukumkani bobabo “bantwana bancinane.” ^[2]cf. Mat 18:3 Xa iintliziyo zethu zithambile, singaqala ukuliva ilizwi lakhe kwakhona.

Zonke izithixo yingxolo, bonke oothixo bobuxoki esileqa nabo lelinye ilizwi eligxotha ilizwi elincinci loMoya. Nanini na xa ndiyekile "ukufuna kuqala ubukumkani bukaThixo," nanini na ndileqa iminqweno yenyama kunye neentsumpa zendlela ebanzi nelula, oku kuye kwaba ngumqobo ekuveni ilizwi likaThixo.

Makungabikho thixo wasemzini kuni; ninganquli thixo wolunye uhlanga… akwaba abantu bam bebendiva, amaSirayeli ahamba ngeendlela zam… (INdumiso)

KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, emva kokuba umbhali evumile ukuba ukuthanda uThixo kunye zonke Ubukho bayo yayingowokuqala kuyo yonke imiyalelo, uYesu wajika wajonga kuye wathi, “Awukude nobukumkani bukaThixo.” Intliziyo engaphelelanga iyaliva ilizwi likaKumkani.

Okokugqibela, ukuphazamiseka ngumzabalazo oqhelekileyo nakwabo bafunde ukuthandaza nokumamela ilizwi likaThixo. Kodwa ukudimazeka ngenxa yobuninzi “bamazwi” azama ukusisusa kunokuba kukuwela kumgibe wabo. Endaweni yoko, zazi iziphazamiso ngenxa yokuba ziyile: zihlala zibonisa oko sinamathele kuko. Lithuba lokuba ubuyele eNkosini ngokuthobeka, ubeke intliziyo yakho ezandleni zaKhe ukuba ihlanjululwe, kwaye uqale ngokulula kwakhona. ^[3]cf. I-CCC, n. I-2729 Umphathi wam wokomoya wakha wathi, "Ukuba uphazanyisiwe amatyeli angamashumi amahlanu emthandazweni, kodwa umane ubuyela kuThixo, zizenzo zothando ezingamashumi amahlanu omnika zona ezinokubaluleka kakhulu kunesenzo esinye sothando esingaphazamisekiyo." Intliziyo ethobekileyo iyakwazi ukuqonda ilizwi leNkosi.

Ndimthobile, kodwa ndiya kumenza aphumelele. (Ufundo lokuqala)

Okokugqibela, umlo wethu kufuneka ujongane nezinto esinamava kuzo Ukungaphumeleli emthandazweni: ukudimazeka ngexesha lokoma; lusizi lokuba, ngenxa yokuba "sinempahla eninzi," asiyinikanga yonke eNkosini; ukuphoxeka kukungaviwa ngokokuthanda kwethu; ikratshi elonzakeleyo, eliqiniswe kukuhlazeka okungokwethu njengaboni; ukuxhathisa kwethu kwinto yokuba umthandazo sisipho sasimahla nesingasifanelanga; kwaye nakanjalo. Isiphelo sihlala sinye: kuluncedo ntoni ukuthandaza? Ukoyisa le miqobo, kufuneka silwe ukuze sithobeke, sithembeke kwaye sinyamezele.-Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2728

Mva nje, ndiye ndalingwa ukuba ndidimazeke njengoko sihlangabezana nokulibaziseka ekuhambiseni ubulungiseleli bethu, nangona ndithandaza rhoqo. Kodwa indifundisile ukuba ndingakhangeli ukutya ngaphaya "kwesonka semihla ngemihla".

Ngokwenyani, ubungcwele bunento enye kuphela: ukunyaniseka okupheleleyo kwintando kaThixo…. Ufuna izinto ezifihlakeleyo zikaThixo, kodwa inye kuphela: ukusebenzisa nantoni na akunikeza yona…. Isiseko esikhulu nesomeleleyo sobomi bokomoya kukuzinikela kwethu kuThixo kwaye sithobele intando yakhe kuzo zonke izinto…. Ngokwenene uThixo uyasinceda nokuba singaziva njani ukuba siphulukene nenkxaso yakhe.  —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla kulungiselelo lukaThixo

Kwaye uyakukuxelela oku emthandazweni, ukuba intliziyo yakho ithobekile, ayihlukanga, kwaye ithobekile.

Asisayi kuphinda sithi, Thixo wethu, emsebenzini wezandla zethu; kuba kuwe inkedama ifumana imfesane. Ndiya kubaphilisa ukukreqa kwabo, utsho uYehova, ndiya kubathanda ngesisa… (Ufundo lokuqala)
