Izihluthulelo Ezingu-10 Zokuvikela Umshado Wakho

 

Kwesinye isikhathi njengabantu abashadile siyabambeka. Asikwazi ukuqhubekela phambili. Kungase kuzwakale sengathi kuphelile, kuphuke kungenakulungiseka. Kade ngikhona. Ezikhathini ezinjengalezi, “kubantu lokhu akunakwenzeka, kepha kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzeka” (Math 19:26).

Imfundiso elandelayo, evela emthonjeni ongalindelekile, iyindlela kaNkulunkulu yokwenza zonke izinto zenzeke—okuhlanganisa nokuvuswa komshado obonakala ufile. Uma umshado wakho ukule ndawo noma usaqala, ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi nikufunde konke lokhu noshade naye, nixoxe ngokukhululekile, bese nithatha izinqumo ezibambekayo ezivumela uNkulunkulu ukuba enze izimangaliso ebudlelwaneni benu.

Uma uvuma, ndodana yami, uzofundiswa.
futhi uma uzikhandla uzohlakanipha.
(Funda uSiraki 6:32.)

uma sihamba ekukhanyeni njengalokhu yena esekukhanyeni,
bese siba nenhlanganyelo omunye nomunye. ( 1 Johane 1:6 )

Elapho ngiphendukela khona kulezi zinsuku, kubonakala sengathi imishado iyathandeka ngaphansi kwesisindo sezilingo ezinkulu. Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani, kodwa uma sibala ezimbalwa: amanxeba angapholi, ukungavuthwa, ubugovu, ukungahloniphi umphakathi kanye nengcindezi yawo emndenini, ukugcwala kobuntu ngabanye, ukuwa kwekhathekhisi eBandleni futhi ngokungangabazeki, ngqo ukuhlaselwa okungokomoya emishadweni. Amadoda namakhosikazi bayizisekelo ezingenakususwa zempucuko. Njengoba uSt. John Paul II ake asho, “Ikusasa lomhlaba neleBandla lidlula emndenini.”^[1]I-Familiaris Consortio, hhayi. 75 Ngakho-ke:

… Impi yokugcina phakathi kweNkosi nokubusa kukaSathane kuzoba ngomshado nomndeni…. - Sr. ULucia, umboni kaFatima, enkulumweni yakhe noCardinal Carlo Caffara, uMbhishobhi Omkhulu waseBologna, ovela kumagazini I-Voce di Padre Pio, Mashi 2008; isib. mduduzi.blogspot.com

Nokho, lokhu kucabanga kwamanje akuphathelene nezinkinga zangaphandle esibhekana nazo njengombhangqwana oshadile kodwa kumane nje kuqonde indlela yokudlula kuzo ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu. Ngalokhu, siphendukela emthonjeni esingalindelekile: imfundiso yeKhathekhizima umthandazo...

 

Umshado - Isibuko Sothando Lwaphezulu

Indima engokomBhalo evula usizo lukaNkulunkulu olusindisayo itholakala emyalezweni kaSt.

nithobelane ngokuhlonipha uKristu… Lena imfihlakalo enkulu, kodwa Ngikhuluma ngoKristu kanye neBandla. (Efesu 5: 21, 32)

Ukuthi uJesu usithanda kanjani, nendlela esimthanda ngayo nathi, i imodeli singathwala emishadweni yethu. Imodeli isekelwe kithi ubuhlobo noKristu, iKhathekizimu ethi umkhuleko.

Nanka-ke amaphuzu ayi-10 ayisihluthulelo esingawathatha “emfihlakalo” yobuhlobo bethu noNkulunkulu futhi sikusebenzise emishadweni yethu. Lokhu kusindise impilo emshadweni wami kanye nempilo yobudlelwano bethu. Ngizoqala ngisho ukuthi iKhathekizimu ifundisani ngomthandazo (A), bese emva kwalokho ukuthi lokhu kusebenza kanjani emshadweni wamaKrestu (B).

 

Izihluthulelo Ezingu-10 Zokuvikela Umshado Wakho

I. Ubudlelwano

A. Ingabe unabo ubuhlobo noNkulunkulu? I Katekisimu kuyacaca ukuthi yini echaza lobo budlelwano:

Umuntu, uqobo lwakhe owadalwa “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu” [ubizelwe] ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu… umthandazo uwukuthi ubuhlobo obuphilayo babantwana bakaNkulunkulu noYise wabo omuhle ngokungenakulinganiswa, neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu kanye noMoya oNgcwele. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC),n. 299, 2565

Uma ungakhuleki awunabudlelwane. Kodwa uyini umthandazo?

Umkhuleko wokuzindla ngokombono wami awulutho ngaphandle kokuhlanganyela okuseduze phakathi kwabangane; kusho ukuthatha isikhathi njalo ukuba yedwa Naye esaziyo ukuthi uyasithanda. -CCC, 2709 (St. Theresa of Avila)

Uma ungakhulumi noJesu noma ungalaleli izwi Lakhe, abukho ubuhlobo.

Cabanga ukuthi mangaki amaKhatholika aya eMiseni njalo ngamaSonto futhi amukele uMthendeleko, owuphawu lokuhlangana komshado: UKristu uwunikela ngokoqobo uMzimba Wakhe kuMlobokazi Wakhe, iBandla, owabe eseMemukela ngokoqobo. Nokho, bangaki abashiya leliSakramente bengashintshile, bengajulile othandweni noma olwazini lukaKristu kunangenkathi bengena? Ngempela, noma imiphi umusa Ayefuna ukubapha yona ivame ukuchithwa. Kungani? Ngoba abanabo ubuhlobo Naye ngaphandle kweMisa, futhi lobo budlelwano bunjalo umkhuleko. Kudingeka sihlakulele a siqu ubuhlobo noNkulunkulu ngaphandle kweMithetho Yenkonzo ukuze lobo budlelwano buthele - futhi bubekwe ngendlela efanele ukuze bathole umusa woMthendeleko oNgcwele.

B. Kanjalo futhi, ukuhlangana okunempilo kwendoda nomfazi kudlulela ngalé kokuphila okuvamile kobulili. Isibopho sokushada ngokungangabazeki singaba nengxenye ekusondelaneni nasekukhuleni othandweni nasebunganeni, kodwa akunjalo! Ingase isebenze ngokumelene nayo uma kungekho ubudlelwano ukukhuluma ngabo. NjengeMisa, lingadlulela ekubeni nje liqhubekele phambili. Ngakho, kubalulekile ngendoda nomkayo ukuba ‘bazinike isikhathi sokuba bodwa’ ukuze bavumele “ukuhlanganyela okuseduze” nokulalela izinhliziyo zomunye nomunye.

 

II. Ubudlelwano = Ukuzibophezela

A. Njengoba uSt. Teresa asho, umthandazo usho ukuthatha isikhathi uwedwa. Futhi kanjalo,

…impilo yokukhuleka iwumkhuba wokuba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele kathathu kanye nenhlanganyelo Naye… Umthandazo wokuzindla ufuna lowo “othandwa ngumphefumulo wami.” -CCC, 2709,

Ngakho-ke, ubudlelwane budinga ukuzidela isikhathi.

Ukukhetha kwe isikhathi nesikhathi somkhuleko kuvela entandweni enqunyiwe, embula izimfihlo zenhliziyo. Umuntu akenzi umthandazo wokuzindla kuphela lapho enesikhathi: umuntu wenza isikhathi eNkosini, ngokuzimisela okuqinile ukungayeki, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiziphi izilingo nokomisa umuntu angase abhekane nakho. --CCC, 2710

Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe... (Mathewu 6: 33)

B. Uma nithandana futhi nithandana, ukwenza isikhathi sobabili akuyona inkinga! Kodwa ngemva kwe-honeymoon nini izikweletu, izingane, kanye nesayensi yezinto eziphilayo kukhahlela... isikhathi ngandlela thize siyashabalala. Umuntu akakwazi ukuvele ashiye lesi sikhathi esabelwe ndawonye “kuphela uma enesikhathi.” Izinto eziyinkulungwane zizophazamisa. Kunalokho, kufanele “sifune kuqala” ubuhlobo bethu futhi ukwenza isikhathi somunye nomunye, ngisho noma kufanele sihlelwe futhi sibhalwe ekhalendeni.

Lapho ngenza “isinqumo” “ngentando emisiwe” yokubeka owakwami ​​ngaphambi kwawo wonke amanye amathuba nezimfuno, ikakhulukazi izithakazelo zami, ngempela kwembula “izimfihlo zenhliziyo”: ingabe engishade naye ubalulekile? Ingabe inhliziyo nezidingo zabo ziyahlangatshezwa? Noma ngilinde ukuthi ngihlangane nomlingani wami kuphela my izidingo?

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiziphi izilingo noma ukoma engibhekana nakho ebuhlotsheni bethu, yilezi zikhathi zokuzinikela zodwa ndawonye lapho sizovula khona imithombo emisha yomusa.

 

III. Ukulalela Kuletha Impilo Ebudlelwaneni

A. Umbhishobhi u-Eugene Cooney wake wathi kimi akakaze amazi umpristi owashiya ubupristi owayengayeki ukuthandaza kuqala.

Umkhuleko uyimpilo yenhliziyo entsha. —CCC, n. 2697

Uma “umkhuleko uwukuphila kwenhliziyo entsha” okunikezwa kuMbhapathizo, khona-ke ngokucacile, cha Impilo yomkhuleko iyona ukufa kwenhliziyo. Kodwa ingabe ukuphila okunempilo komthandazo kumane nje kuyindaba yokusho imithandazo efundwa ngekhanda noma efundwe encwadini? Kunalokho, kuwukunaka ukulalela komunye.

Umthandazo wokuzindla uwukuthi kokuzwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu. --CCC, 2716^[2]IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila, linamandla, libukhali kunezinkemba zonke ezisika nhlangothi zombili, lihlaba phakathi komphefumulo nomoya, amalunga nomnkantsha, futhi liyakwazi ukuqonda imicabango nemicabango yenhliziyo. ( Hebheru 4:12 )

Ngisho noJesu wazinika isikhathi eyedwa ukuze alalele inhliziyo kaYise.^[3]“Wakhuphukela entabeni eyedwa ukuze athandaze. — Mathewu 14:23 Kanjalo futhi...

Asikwazi ukuthandaza “ngasosonke isikhathi” uma singathandazi ngezikhathi ezithile, ngokuzithandela. -CCC, n. 2697 ^[4]“Lapho ukhuleka, ngena ekamelweni lakho, uvale umnyango, ukhuleke kuYihlo ekusithekeni. Futhi uYihlo obona ekusithekeni uyokubuyisela.” — Mathewu 6:6

Kungenjalo, sizifaka engozini yokukhuluma noNkulunkulu usuku lonke (uma kunjalo) kodwa asilokothi sime ukuze simlalele. Yilokhu kanye kanye noNkulunkulu okuthulisa izinhliziyo zethu ukuze zwa IZwi laKhe eliphilisayo.

B. Imishado eminingi iqhubeka isekela ukuphila lapho ukukhulumisana okunenjongo kuyeka. Akwanele ukumane nishintshane ngezinkulumo ezincane lapha nalaphaya, niphendule ngokukhophozela, noma nivume ngekhanda elingaphelele. Kufanele sizinike isikhathi lalela komunye, “bezwa” izwi lomunye nomunye. Lokhu kulalela, kusho iKhathekizimu, “ukuzinikela kothando”^[5]CCC, 2716 lokho kungixhumanisa nomuntu engishade naye ukuze ngizwe futhi ngiqonde omunye futhi ngifunde okufanele ngikwenze ukuze ngithele izithelo emshadweni wami.

Uma ubuhlobo benu bulahlekelwe ukuphila, ngesinye isikhathi, kungenzeka ukuthi anisalalelani ngenxa yezizathu eziningi, hhayi phakathi kwazo, amanxeba eningaba nawo komunye nomunye. Isikhathi sokuthi niqale ukulalelana futhi nivumele ukuphulukiswa kukaNkulunkulu ebudlelwaneni benu...

 

IV. Isisekelo Sobudlelwano Obuyiqiniso

A. Ngenxa yokuthi sinemvelo ewile futhi sizoqhubeka silwa “nenyama”, sithambekele ekubeni siwe ebuthakathakeni bethu. Ngakho,

… Ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo somkhuleko… Ukucela intethelelo kuyisidingo sazo zombili uMthendeleko Wezinkonzo noMthandazo womuntu siqu --CCC, n. 2559, 2631

…uma sikhuleka, ingabe sikhuluma ngokuphakama kokuziqhenya kwethu kanye nentando yethu, noma “ekujuleni” kwenhliziyo ethobekile nezisolayo? --CCC, n. 2559

B. Amanxeba ayovela nakanjani kunoma ibuphi ubuhlobo, kodwa ikakhulukazi phakathi kwendoda nomfazi abahlanganyela endaweni efanayo futhi babizelwe “ukuba ngaphansi komunye nomunye ngenxa yokuhlonipha uKristu.”^[6]Abe-Efesu 5: 21 Ukuthobeka ngaphambi komunye nomunye kubalulekile. Njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ‘engenzi kithi ngokwezono zethu,’^[7]AmaHubo 103: 10 kangakanani-ke esikudingayo ukusebenzelana ngokubekezela?

Intethelelo “kuyisidingo” sokusondelana kwabashadile ngoba kwakha ukwethembana nenhlonipho. Ukungathetheleli yinhlabathi lapho izimpande ezibabayo nezahlulelo^[8]“Qaphelani ukuba kungabikho ophucwa umusa kaNkulunkulu, funa kumile impande ebabayo, ibangele inkathazo.”— Heberu 12:15 vuka futhi uthole indawo yokukhula, uminyanisa uthando.

Ngidinga ukuzithoba ngokucela intethelelo lapho ngizwise umlingani wami ubuhlungu futhi ngingathetheleli intukuthelo eyisono noma amazwi alimazayo. Lapho engishade naye efuna intethelelo, uJesu ungikhumbuza ukuba ngithethelele “kamashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa.”^[9]Mathewu 18:22; Luka 17:4 : “Futhi uma ekona kasikhombisa ngosuku olulodwa, futhi ebuyela kuwe kasikhombisa ethi: ‘Ngiyaxolisa,’ kufanele umthethelele.” Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ngoba imvelo yethu ewile, ukukhuliswa kwethu, izilingo ezithile, amaphutha esimilo, ukungavuthwa, namanxeba angapholi, kungasibona siphindaphinda amaphutha afanayo. 

Babusisiwe abanesihawu, ngokuba bayakuhawukelwa... (Mathewu 5: 7)

Ukungaxoleli kuyabulala ebudlelwaneni. Ngisho nokungathetheleli kulabo ongashadile nabo kuzoba nomthelela. Inhliziyo yakho injengomvini. Uma usike emvinini, kusala i-facade yokuphila, kodwa kancane kancane amagilebhisi aqala ukuya kuphi futhi afe. Kanjalo futhi, umuntu ogodla intethelelo kwabanye umisa isihe sikaNkulunkulu nokugeleza komusa Wakhe, eshiya inhliziyo yomuntu ibuna ekushiseni kokulunga kukaNkulunkulu.^[10]“Nxa nimi nikhuleka, thethelelani noma ubani eninokukhononda ngaye, ukuze noYihlo osezulwini anithethelele iziphambeko zenu.” — Marku 11:25

Ukulimaza abantu kulimaza abantu. Ungavumeli ukulimala kowakwakho noma abanye okubangele ukuba ubingelele isikhathi eside ngaphansi kwesifihla-buso esingelona iqiniso, wenze sengathi konke kuhamba kahle, noma ukumbonisa ihlombe (ngezinye izikhathi okubizwa ngokuthi “idivosi buthule”). Unikeza isitha ithuba lokutshala izimpande ezibabayo. Uma unamathela isikhathi eside esilondeni, kungaba ngokungathetheleli noma ukungakhulumisani kahle nomngane wakho womshado ngeqiniso, kuba nzima nakakhulu ukuthi lezi zimpande zikhule.^[11]“Uthando alucabangi ngokulimala.” — 1 Khor. 13:15

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kulapho uthuthukisa ubuhlobo uchitha isikhathi ndawonye othandweni futhi ukulalela, kuyoba lula ukubuyisana lapho kufika ubuhlungu obungenakugwemeka.

Ngakho lahlani amanga, nikhulume iqiniso, yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe, ngokuba singamalungu omunye komunye. Thukuthelani, kodwa ningoni; ilanga malingashoni entukuthelweni yenu, futhi ningamshiyeli uSathane indawo. (Kwabase-Efesu 4: 25-27)

 

V. Ubudlelwano Obulinganiselayo

A. UNkulunkulu, uDokotela oNgcwele, uyazazi izinhliziyo zethu futhi udinga ngaphezu kwanoma ubani kusukela asihlanganisa esibelethweni. Lezi zidingo zingokwenyama, ezengqondo, nezingokomoya. Ngakho-ke, lokhu kubonakala emthandazweni emibuthanweni emihlanu emikhulu:

Isibusiso iveza umnyakazo oyisisekelo womkhuleko wobuKrestu: uwukuhlangana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. --CCC, 2626

Thanksgiving uphawu lomkhuleko weBandla okuthi, ekugubheni uMthendeleko, wembule futhi ube ngokugcwele lokho ayikho.... --CCC, 2637

Dumisani iwuhlobo lomthandazo oluqaphela ngokushesha ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu. --CCC, 2639

…ngomthandazo we isikhalazo sizwakalisa ukuqaphela ubuhlobo bethu noNkulunkulu. --CCC, 2629

In Ukuncenga, lowo othandazayo “akabheki okwakhe kuphela, kodwa nokwabanye. --CCC, 2635

B. Mhlawumbe usuvele uzinika isikhathi uwedwa nowakwakho… kodwa uyawanaka amazwi akho? Amazwi ethu aphethe amandla okuphila nokufa.^[12]“Yeka ukuthi ihlathi elikhulu kangakanani lishiswa umlilo omncane! Nolimi lungumlilo... Ngalo sibonga uJehova uBaba, futhi ngalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.” — Jakobe 3:5-6, 9 Ulusebenzisa kanjani ulimi nomngane wakho womshado? Ingabe uhlala njalo ukulahla zonke izinkinga zakho, imicabango engemihle, iziphambano, kanye nezikhalo phezu kwazo? Khumbula, umyeni wakho noma umkakho akayena umeluleki wakho, umqondisi womoya, noma umelaphi. Bangabakho umlingani, okufanele abe omunye wabangane bakho abakhulu. Ngokuba uJesu wathi kithi:

Nginibize ngabangani... (UJohn 15: 15)

Ngingumngane onjani koshade naye? Ngiyabalalela futhi ngibakhonze kuqala… noma ngifune ukuthi balalele futhi bangikhonze kuqala? Ngiyawabhidliza ngamazwi ami noma ngiyawakha? Umuntu ohlale enegethivu uyakhathala… futhi isizathu esisodwa sokuthi owakwakho angahoxa kuwe ngokomzwelo.

Ngakho-ke khuthazanani futhi nakhana... Ukukhuluma kwenu makube nomusa njalo, kuyolisiwe ngosawoti... ( 1 Thesalonika 5:11; Kolose 4:6 )

Nokho, kudingeka kube nokulinganisela; sidinga ukuba khona kwabalingani bethu ngezikhathi ezinzima futhi sibavumele baphume ngaphandle kokwahlulela.

Ngempela, uNkulunkulu Ufuna ukuzwa izicelo zethu nemikhuleko yethu:

Phonsa zonke izinkathazo zakho phezu kwakhe ngoba uyanikhathalela. (I-1 Peter 5: 7)

Njengoba othile asho, “Uma ukugxila kwethu kungumlingani wethu futhi sinakekela izidingo zabo lapho izidingo zethu zizohlangatshezwana nazo.” Lokho akukhona okuphelele, kodwa njengoba uSt. Paul abhala: “Uthando alusoze lwaphela.”^[13]I-1 Cor 13: 8 Ngakho indlela ephephile kakhulu. Uma umthanda oshade naye, ufuna ukuvuma ubuhlungu nezinselele zabo futhi ube khona, ngokwamandla akho, ukuze “nithwalisane imithwalo yenu.”^[14]IGal 6: 2 Asiyena uMsindisi wabalingani bethu; kodwa ngokuqinisekile singayivuma imizwa yabo futhi sibasekele ngokuthandazelana nangokunxusa. Njengoba iNceku KaNkulunkulu uCatherine Doherty yake yasho, “Singalalela umphefumulo womunye ukuze ube khona.”

Lokhu akukhona ukunika amandla izimo zengqondo ezilimazayo nokuziphatha okubi, kodwa ukuba usekelo kumlingani wakho womshado ngendlela enempilo. Ngokuvamile lapho sifuna ukuqonda othile futhi sivele simzwe, angathembela kangcono umbono wethu uma kungenjalo ukulungiswa okumnene.^[15]“…noma-ke umuntu ebanjwa esonweni esithile, wena ongokomoya mqondise ngomoya omnene, uzibheke, funa ulingwe nawe. Thwalisanani imithwalo yenu, nize nigcwalise umthetho kaKristu [okuwukuthandana].” — Galathiya 6:1-2

Ekugcineni, njengoba kukhona isibusiso, ukubonga, Futhi udumo emthandazweni wobuKristu, kufanele kube khona ebuhlotsheni bakho nomngane wakho womshado. Ingabe ngiyabancoma ngezinto ezinhle abazenzayo, noma ngimane ngiveze amaphutha abo? Ingabe ngiyababonga ngokuzidela abakwenzayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuwuhambo lwansuku zonke lokuya emsebenzini, ukupheka, noma ukuwasha, noma ukukuthatha kalula? Ingabe ngiyababusisa ngokuhlangana nolimi lwabo lothando (sizofika kulokho maduze), noma ngiphendule kuphela lapho okwami ​​kuhlangatshezwana nakho?

Qaphela ukuthi uyapha noma uyathatha, nokho, ngaphandle kokuziba isidingo sakho sangempela sokuzwakala. Njengoba uJesu asho, “kubusisekile ukupha kunokwamukela.”^[16]Izenzo 20: 35 Ngokuphathelene nalokho, umuntu angabiza ngokufanelekile “uMthandazo Wokuthula” kaSt. Francis wase-Assisi ngokuthi “Umthandazo Womngane Womshado”:

Nkosi, ngenze ngibe yithuluzi lokuthula kwakho;
lapho kukhona inzondo, mangihlwanyele uthando;
lapho kukhona ukulimala, xola;
lapho kukhona ukungabaza, ukukholwa;
lapho kukhona ukuphelelwa yithemba, themba;
lapho kukhona khona ubumnyama, ukukhanya;
lapho kukhona ukudabuka, injabulo.
O Nkosi yaphezulu, ngiphe ukuthi ngingakufuni okungaka
ukuze kududuzwe,
ukuze uqondwe njengokuqonda,
ukuthandwa njengothando.
Ngoba kungukupha esikutholayo,
kungenxa yokuthethelela ukuthi sixolelwe,
futhi kukufa lapho sizalelwa khona ukuphila okuphakade.

 

VI. Uthando lwangempela

A. Impilo yethu yomkhuleko ivame ukuzwa yomile futhi inzima. Kodwa ikulezi zingwadule impela thina Ukufakazela uthando lwethu ngoNkulunkulu osithanda ngokungenamibandela.

Isimangaliso somkhuleko sembulwa eceleni komthombo lapho esiza khona sifuna amanzi: lapho, uKristu uyeza ukuzohlangabeza wonke umuntu. Nguye oqale asifune bese esicela okuphuzwayo. UJesu womile; ukucela kwakhe kuvela ekujuleni kwesifiso sikaNkulunkulu ngathi. --CCC, 2560 ^[17]“Indlela esazi ngayo uthando ukuthi wadela ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yethu; kanjalo nathi sifanele ukubeka ukuphila ngenxa yabazalwane bethu.” — 1 Johane 3:16

Yiqiniso, kukhona ukuncintisana nothando lwethu ngoNkulunkulu:

…ukuphazamiseka kwembula kithi lokho esinamathele kukho, futhi lokhu kuqonda okuthobekile phambi kweNkosi kufanele kuvuse uthando lwethu olukhethekile ngaye futhi kusihole ngokuzimisela ukuba simnikeze inhliziyo yethu ukuba ihlanzwe. Lapho kulele impi, ukukhetha ukuthi iyiphi inkosi okumelwe ikhonze. --CCC, 2729

B. Abanye bashada benombono okhungathekile wothando (eros) ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuthi enhliziyweni yomshado wamaKristu, kumelwe kube khona agape uthando - ukuzinikela okuphelele. Ngokushesha nje lapho abashadile bephendukela ngaphakathi, befuna izifiso zabo, izifiso zabo kanye nokufuna ukushiywa ngaphandle komlingani wabo, ukuvumelana kuyanyamalala futhi kuvame ukugxila ekupheleleni. impi.^[18]“Zivelaphi izimpi nezingxabano phakathi kwenu na? Akuveli ezinkanukweni zenu ezilwa phakathi kwamalungu enu na? — Jakobe 4:1

Iziphi “iziphazamiso” emshadweni wakho ezikuvimbela “ukuthanda kuze kube sekupheleni,” njengoba uJesu enza kithi? Ingabe izinto ozilibazisayo, ezemidlalo, ezokuzijabulisa nokunethezeka kuza ngaphambi komngane wakho womshado? Uma kunjalo, lolu wubizo olucacile “lokubeka phansi ukuphila kwakho” ngenxa yothandiweyo wakho. Akusho ukuyeka izithakazelo zakho, ngayinye se, kodwa uzimisele ukudela uma kunesidingo ngenxa yezidingo zomlingani wakho (nomndeni).

Okunye okunamathiselwe kukhona izahlulelo sibambelele kumlingani wethu. Izahlulelo zinamandla, ziyakwazi ukwakha izindonga ezingangeneki phakathi kwakho nowakwakho. Lezi akuzona nje izimpande ezibabayo kodwa ukhula olukhule ngokugcwele. Qaphelani, ngoba ziyosheshe ziminyanise imbewu enhle emshadweni wenu futhi ziholele ekubhujisweni okuphelele.

U-St. Ignatius wase-Loyola uneseluleko esihle sokuthi ungalungisa kanjani ukungaqondi kahle: hlalani ninikezana inzuzo yokungabaza:

Wonke umKristu olungile kufanele akulungele ukunikeza incazelo enhle esitatimendeni somunye kunokuyilahla. Kepha uma engakwazi ukwenza lokho, ake abuze ukuthi omunye ukuqonde kanjani lokho. Futhi uma owokugcina ekuqonda kabi, ake owokuqala amqondise ngothando. Uma lokho kunganele, umKristu makazame zonke izindlela ezifanele zokuletha omunye ekuchazeni okuyikho ukuze asindiswe. -Izivivinyo Zokomoya, hhayi. 22

Faka esikhundleni ukudeka nge ububele: khetha ukuthatha izinhloso ezinhle zozakwenu, noma ngabe ukulethwa kwakhe kungenasici. Lapho ningezwani, yiba nenhloso enkulu ngokuhlala esihlokweni futhi ugweme isilingo sokuphendukela ekuvaleleni owakwakho ngezwi elinokhahlo namazwi alimazayo. Bavumele baziveze, noma benephutha. Futhi gwema ukuletha amanxeba angaphambili osuwathethelele, ngoba “uthando alucabangi okubi” (1 Korinte 13:15).

Omunye umbulali wokuxhumana okunempilo ukuziqhenya. Uma ngizivikela futhi ngenqaba ukuvuma ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi nginephutha, ngingalimaza ukwethenjwa komngane wami womshado futhi ngidale ngisho nesimo sokwesaba noma isifiso sokuxoxisana. Ngokolunye uhlangothi, iqiniso lizokukhulula - ngisho neqiniso elinzima ngezinye izikhathi engidinga ukulizwa kumlingani wami womshado. Kungakho ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo sobudlelwano bethu. Kugcina ukukhulumisana kwethu ekukhanyeni futhi kuholela ebunganeni obujulile nobudlelwane.

Uma sihamba ekukhanyeni njengalokhu yena esekukhanyeni, khona-ke sinenhlanganyelo omunye nomunye, negazi leNdodana yakhe uJesu liyasihlambulula kuso sonke isono. Uma sithi: “Asinasono,” siyazikhohlisa, neqiniso alikho kithi. Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulungile, futhi uyakuthethelela izono zethu, asihlanze kukho konke ukona. Uma sithi: “Asonanga,” simenza umqambimanga, nezwi lakhe alikho kithi. — 1 Johane 1:6-10

 

VII. Ukugcina “Inhlansi” Iphila

A. Uma wazi ukuthi uyathandwa, kushintsha yonke into.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi siyakuqaphela noma cha, umthandazo uwukuhlangana nokoma kukaNkulunkulu okwethu. UNkulunkulu womele ukuthi somele yena. --CCC, n. 2560

B. Sivame ukuzwa imibhangqwana ithi: “Silahlekelwe yinhlansi.” Hhayi-ke, bekungafanele neze kuhlale kuyinhlansi! Wawuhloselwe ukukhula ube ilangabi bese kuba umlilo omnene wokusabalalisa imfudumalo yawo ezinganeni zakho, abazukulu, kanye nomphakathi.

Akulona iqiniso ukuzama ukuqinisa uthando lwentsha yethu. Njengoba kunje Imvelo inezikhathi zayo, kanjalo futhi, imishado yethu inezinguquko emzimbeni womuntu wesifazane ngemva kokuzala, izidingo zempilo yomndeni kanye nezezimali, inqubo yokuguga, ukuya esikhathini, njll. Kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi ilangabi kufanele licime. Ezothando ziyafa lapho ubuhlobo uyafa. Uma unomuzwa wokuthi “ukoma” kwenu ngomunye nomunye kunciphile, kungase kube ukuthi anisakhulumisani uthando lomunye.

UDkt. Gary Chapman useyinciphise yaba yizilimi zothando ezingu-5. Ukufunda ulimi lothando lomlingani wakho kuyindlela esebenzayo yokuhlangabezana nokomela kwabo uthando ngothando lwakho. Lokhu kungase kubhebhethekise amalahle ezinhliziyweni zabo ngoba kukhombisa ukuthi nawe uyawomela, uyawakhathalela. Ukuveza lolu limi lothando, noma ngabe isithandwa sakho siyantengantenga ngasohlangothini lwakhe, kusabalulekile ngoba unothando ngaphandle kokubala izindleko. Phela, wathembisa e-altare ukuthi uyothembeka komunye nomunye “ebuhleni nasebubini, ekuguleni nasekuphileni, size sihlukaniswe ukufa.” Luthini ulimi lwakho lothando? Ithini ekamlingani wakho?

1. Amazwi okuqinisekisa: Uma amazwi okuqinisekisa kuwulimi lwakho lothando, amagama ayakwakha. Uyachuma ngokuthandwa okukhulu, ukutuswa, ukukhuthazwa nokunconywa. Amazwi ahlabayo nokugxeka kungase kukukhathaze isikhathi eside.

2. Izenzo Zesevisi: Noma yini umlingani wakho ayenza ngokuzithandela ukuze anciphise umsebenzi wakho kuwuphawu lothando kuwe. Uzizwa unakekelwe lapho umlingani wakho eshanela ngaphambi kokuba ufike kuwo noma ekwenzela ukudla kwasekuseni njengokumangazayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izithembiso ezingafezeki noma ubuvila bungakwenza uzizwe ungabalulekile.  

3. Ukuthola izipho: Uma ukhuluma lolu limi lothando, isipho esicabangelayo sikubonisa ukuthi ukhethekile. Ngokuphambene, izipho ezijwayelekile kanye nemicimbi ekhethekile ekhohliwe inomphumela ophambene. Lolu limi lothando alukona ngempela ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo - kungase kube lula njengokwamukela ukudla okulula oyikhonzile ngemva kosuku olubi.

4. Isikhathi sekhwalithi: Kuwena, ayikho into ethi uthandwa njengokunakwa okungahlukene. Uma umlingani wakho ekhona ngempela (futhi engabheki ocingweni lwakhe), kukwenza uzizwe ubalulekile. Ukwehluleka ukulalela ngokugcwele noma izikhathi ezinde ngaphandle kwesikhathi esisodwa kungakwenza uzizwe ungathandwa.

5. Ukuthinta ngokomzimba: Ukubambana ngezandla, ukuqabula, ukwanga, nokunye ukuthinta kuyindlela oyincamelayo yokubonisa nokwamukela uthando. Ukuthinta okufanele kudlulisa imfudumalo nokuphepha, kuyilapho ukunganaki ngokomzimba kungadala umngcele phakathi kwakho nomlingani wakho. [Qaphela: uthando oluqhutshwa inkanuko Ukuthatha kunoku enikeza. Ngisho nowakwakho uzozizwa esetshenziswa ngokuthinta umzimba okunjalo.]

Hlola okungenhla! Izilimi zothando ziyindlela eshesha kakhulu yokuthola iqiniso ngemuva kwesimiso sika-St. Paul:

Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena. (Efesu 5: 28)

 

VIII. Themba

A. Kunesici esiyisisekelo sobudlelwano esisenhliziyweni yemvelo yethu ewile: ukwethembana.

Umuntu, elingwa ngudeveli, makavumele ukuthembela kwakhe kuMdali wakhe kufe enhliziyweni yakhe futhi, esebenzisa kabi inkululeko yakhe, weqa umyalo kaNkulunkulu. Yilokhu isono sokuqala somuntu esasihlanganisa. Zonke izono ezaziyolandela zaziyoba ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu nokuntula ukuthembela ebuhleni bakhe. --CCC, 397

Ukwethenjwa okulula nokuthembekile, isiqinisekiso esithobekile nesijabulisayo yizimo ezifanele zomuntu othandaza kuBaba Wethu. --CCC, 2797

Yingakho insindiso ingenakuthengwa. Ikhokhelwa ngegazi likaKristu, iyisipho samahhala esivela kuNkulunkulu esithola ngaso ukwethemba kuMdali oNgcwele.^[19]“Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa…” Kwabase-Efesu 2:8 Uma ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo somthandazo, ukwethemba (okuvezwa ngokulalela uNkulunkulu) yikho okwakha ikhaya ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuze uJehova ahlale ngaphakathi:

Ongithandayo uyakugcina izwi lami, noBaba wami uyakumthanda, size kuye, sihlale naye. (UJohn 14: 23)^[20]UJesu wathi eSt Faustina: “Amalangabi omusa ayangishisa—ngimemeza ukuba ngichithwe; ngifuna ukuqhubeka ngiwathululela phezu kwemiphefumulo; imiphefumulo ayifuni nje ukukholelwa ebuhleni Bami.” -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 177

B. Kunodaba olujulile, oluzokwenza ngisho nokukhuluma ulimi lothando lomunye kube umsebenzi ongenalutho - futhi lokho kungukuthi uma kukhona ukuhlukana okuphelele kokuthembana.

Ubuhlobo obungathembeki bufana nesisekelo esiyinyumba esingenandlu. Ukwethembana kwakhelwa ezikhathini ezivame ukuchithwa uwedwa, ngokulalela ngokucophelela, ngokuthethelela, ukuhlangana nolimi lothando lomunye, nokulungisa nokuguqula izinto ezilimaza omunye empilweni yomuntu. Lapho wenza lokhu, empeleni wakha isiphephelo senhliziyo yomngane wakho womshado - lokho abanye abakubiza ngokuthi "indawo ephephile."

Kodwa uma izindonga nophahla lothando lwe-agape lungekho, khona-ke ngisho nesisekelo sokuthobeka—somuntu othi ngokuphindaphindiwe “ngiyaxolisa” kodwa angashintshi—asiyona neze indawo yokukhosela inhliziyo yomngane wakho womshado. Umuntu obelokhu ‘esebenzisa kabi inkululeko yakhe,’ njengo-Adamu, angase abone ngisho nokuhle kwangempela akwenzayo ukubheka ngokungabaza nokusola ngoba kuphelile ukwethembana.

Ukubuyisela kanjani ukwethembana okuyisisekelo emshadweni wakho? Ngikholwa ukuthi iqala ikakhulukazi kumyeni, onendima ekhethekile ebunyeni, njengoba kwenza uKristu eBandleni Lakhe. UJesu wathatha isinyathelo kuqala sokusithanda kuqala: “Sinothando, ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala.”^[21]1 Johane 4:19; Mathewu 20:28: “INdodana yomuntu ayizelanga ukuzokhonzwa kodwa ukukhonza nokunikela ngokuphila kwayo njengesihlengo sabaningi.” Ngakho umyeni ubizelwa ukuba ahole ekumiseni “indlu yokwethenjwa” emshadweni wakhe.

Indoda iyinhloko yomkayo njengoba noKristu eyinhloko yebandla, yena ngokwakhe engumsindisi womzimba. Njengoba iBandla lingaphansi kukaKristu, kanjalo nabafazi mabathobele amadoda abo kukho konke. Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengalokho noKristu walithanda ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo ukuba alingcwelise, elihlambulula ngokugeza ngamanzi ngezwi. (Kwabase-Efesu 5: 23-26)

Umyeni “ungumpristi” wekhaya lakhe.

…ikhaya lomndeni libizwa kufanele ngokuthi “ibandla lasekhaya,” umphakathi womusa nomthandazo, isikole sezimfanelo ezinhle zobuntu kanye nesisa sobuKristu. — CCC, hhayi. 1666

Indima yendoda iyisimiso somoya nokuhleleka okwasungulwa nguNkulunkulu kusukela ekuqaleni.^[22]cf. Gen 2:23, 3:16 Kuyindima yendoda emiswe uNkulunkulu ‘ukugeza’ umkayo nomndeni eZwini likaNkulunkulu ngesibonelo sayo esiphilayo nangomthandazo womkhaya, kanjalo yenze ikhaya libe indawo. lapho uthando nokukhulumisana kungakhula khona.^[23]Nasi isibonelo esiphathekayo sendlela lesi simiso esingokomoya esingasebenza ngayo... Ucwaningo olwenziwa eSweden ngo-1994 lwathola ukuthi uma bobabili ubaba nomama beya njalo esontweni, amaphesenti angu-33 ezingane zabo azogcina esonta njalo, futhi amaphesenti angu-41 azogcina engasayi njalo. Manje, uma ubaba engajwayelekile nomama njalo, amaphesenti angu-3 kuphela yezingane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izoba abavamile, kuyilapho amanye amaphesenti angu-59 ayoba angavamile. Futhi nakhu okumangalisayo: “Kwenzekani uma ubaba ejwayele kodwa umama engenzi njalo noma engazilolongi? Ngokungavamile, inani lezingane ezivamile likhuphuka lisuka kumaphesenti angu-33 liya kumaphesenti angu-38 komama ongajwayelekile liye kumaphesenti angu-44 [umama] ongakwenzi, njengokungathi ukwethembeka ekuzibophezeleni kukababa kukhula ngokulingana nokuyekelela kukamama, ukunganaki, noma inzondo.” -Iqiniso Ngamadoda NeBandla: Mayelana Nokubaluleka Kobaba Emasontweni nguRobbie Low; ngokusekelwe ocwaningweni: "Izici zobuningi babantu bamaqembu ezilimi nezenkolo eSwitzerland" nguWerner Haug noPhillipe Warner weFederal Statistical Office, uNeuchatel; IVolumu 2 yezifundo zePopulation, No. 31 Kungumsebenzi omkhulu, yebo, kodwa unoJesu njengamandla akho kanye nesibonelo sakho.

Igama elithi umyeni livela kwelesiNgisi sakudala elithi “husbandry”, okwakuwukunakekela nokuhlakula izitshalo, izilwane, njll. Kuthiwa umfazi ufukamela lokho umyeni wakhe amnika kona abese ebuyisa lokho okukhuliswe phakathi kwabo. Lona kanye umgomo ongokomoya uJesu awufundisa lapho iBandla lemukela iZwi Lakhe “njengembewu” okuthi, lapho lamukelwe emhlabathini omuhle, liyobuya “ikhulu noma ngamashumi ayisithupha noma amashumi amathathu.”^[24]UMathewu 13: 23 Uhlobo lwenhlabathi ekhaya luncike kakhulu ekufuyweni kwendoda. Uma indoda inokhahlo, uma ingeyezwe futhi ingenangqondo, ibusa umkayo ngesihe esincane ngenxa yamaphutha nobuthakathaka bakhe, khona-ke ingxenye yesibili yemfundiso kaSt Paul iqala ukuhlukana:

Bafazi, thobelani amadoda enu, njengokufanele eNkosini. ( Kolose 3:18, 19-XNUMX )

Ukuba yinhloko yomkakho (nekhaya) akukona ukuhlukumeza kodwa ukuhola; hhayi ukubusa kodwa ukuqondisa - ngoba uJesu "umnene futhi uthobekile ngenhliziyo."^[25]I-Matt 11: 29 Kumayelana nokunakekela nokuhlakulela inhlabathi yenhliziyo yomkakho nokutshala phakathi kwayo imbewu yenkonzo yakho, ubumnene, nenkulumo enikeza ukuphila.

Uma thina madoda sihluleka ukulingisa uKristu njengenhloko yeBandla, khona-ke ukwethembana kuyowohloka, imizwelo izophakama noma ingcwatshwe, ukukhulumisana kuyophazamiseka uma kungenjalo ukungathembeki, futhi ubuhlobo phakathi kwamakhosikazi ethu buyoqala ukuncipha. Uma sehluleka njengabayeni, amakhosikazi asabizwa ebuhleni bobuqhawe:

Ngokunjalo, bafazi, thobelani amadoda enu, ukuze kuthi, uma abanye bengalilaleli izwi, bazuzwe ngaphandle kwezwi ngokuziphatha kwabafazi babo, lapho bebona ukuziphatha kwenu kokuhlonipha nokumhlophe. (I-1 Peter 3: 1-2)

Kodwa kuseyisimo esingasebenzi kahle. Indlela yokuphuma kukho iwukuqala ukwakha kabusha ukwethembana, ukuqala namuhla ngokuzibophezela ekwabelaneni njalo ngezinhliziyo zenu futhi uthobekile ngilalele...

 

IX. Ukufunda “Ukuba Nje”

A. Uthando phakathi kwethu noMdali wethu lufinyelela izinga eliphezulu lapho sicabangelana ngokweqiniso ngokushintshana buthule kothando.

Ukuzindla a bheka lokukholwa, okubekwe kuJesu. “Ngimbuke naye uyangibuka” (kusho iCure of Ars)... Umthandazo wokuzindla uwukuthi ukuthula, “uphawu lwezwe elizayo” noma “uthando oluthule.” Amazwi alolu hlobo lomthandazo awazona izinkulumo; bafana nokuphemba umlilo wothando. --CCC, 2715, 2717

B. Olunye lwezimpawu ezinhle kakhulu zothando olunempilo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi phakathi kwethu noNkulunkulu noma phakathi kwabashadile, ikhono “lokuba nje”; ukubuka omunye emehlweni futhi yazi, ngaphandle kwamazwi, ukuthi uyathandwa. Nakuba ukufunda “ukuba nje” futhi kungadingeki “ukwenze” ngaso sonke isikhathi kungase kube into oyidingayo ukuba ube ngamabomu ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuphinde kube yinto egcina izalwe ngenxa yokwethembana okujulile nokwakhela phezu kwesisekelo sokuthobeka. Lapho izindonga zothando sezakhiwe, umshado wenu usuthole isiphephelo esihle sokuthola ukuphumula komunye nomunye.

Uma ungumuntu omatasatasa noma unomlomo omatasatasa, funda ukuba nje nomngane wakho womshado, ubabambe buthule ngemva kokuba ususondelene, ubekhona ngokugcwele kubo ngaphandle kokugcwalisa umoya ngamazwi, noma futhi, ukunikeza owakwakho isikhathi sokucubungula. Shesha ukulalela, wephuze ukusabela. Kulowo oshade naye odinga isikhathi sokucubungula ukuze aphendule (njengembewu edinga isikhathi sokuhluma) mnike leso sikhala esinempilo sokuzindla nokulungisa kabusha. Ukuzindla emthandazweni nakho kuyisikhathi sokucubungula nokugxilisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu. 

Ingabe uyazinika isikhathi sokubuka isibani samehlo oshade naye? UJesu wathi,

Isibani somzimba yiso. (Mathewu 6: 22)

Uma sekunesikhashana nima nobabili nabukana nje emehlweni, bambanani izandla nikhumbule “uthando lokuqala” enanalo ngomunye nomunye.^[26]"... ulahlekelwe uthando owawunalo ekuqaleni." — IsAmbulo 2:4 Ngibhalele uMlobokazi wami leli culo.

 

X. Impilo Yakho Yangaphakathi

I. Nakuba lokhu kucabanga kugxile ekuvikeleni umshado wakho, manje kufanele kube sobala ngesidingo somthandazo, okungukuthi, yakho ubuhlobo noNkulunkulu! Nayo, izophumelela kuphela ngesenzo sentando yakho nokuvuleleka ukuze ukhule othandweni.

Umthandazo awunakuncishiswa ube ukuthululwa okuzenzakalelayo komfutho wangaphakathi: ukuze umuntu athandaze, kufanele abe nesifiso sokuthandaza. Futhi akwanele ukwazi ukuthi imiBhalo yembulani ngomthandazo: umuntu kumelwe afunde nendlela yokuthandaza. --CCC, 2560

Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ​​ningenze lutho. (UJohn 15: 5)

B. Usuku lwakho lomshado luwukuzinikela kwakho; umshado wakho uphila kanjalo. Kudinga umsebenzi, ukuzidela, nobuhle obuyiqhawe. Nsuku zonke, kufanele "sizimisele" ukunikela ngokuphila kwethu ngenxa yabalingani bethu nezingane. Akwanele ukumane wazi okulotshwe ngenhla kodwa ukwenza ngesibindi nangokuzimisela ukuthi kwenzeke.

Idlulile impela yakho ubudlelwano bomuntu siqu noJesu, ngempilo yomthandazo yansuku zonke kanye nokuzibophezela, ukuthi uzoba indoda noma owesifazane okudingeka ube ngowakwakho nomndeni wakho. Kusemthandazweni lapho uNkulunkulu ephulukisa, akuguqule, futhi akubumbe ukuba ube umyeni noma umfazi onikeza ukuphila. Ngoba uJesu wathi, "Ngaphandle kwami, awukwazi lutho." Ngempela,

Umthandazo uhambela umusa esiwudingayo ngezenzo ezinhle. --CCC, 2010

Uma ungenayo impilo yomkhuleko, zibophezele manje ekuchitheni isikhathi uwedwa, hhayi kuphela nowakwakho, kodwa kuqala futhi noNkulunkulu. Lokhu ukuhleleka okufanele kwempilo yakho nomshado wakho.^[27]“Woyithanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. Lona ngumyalo omkhulu kunayo yonke nowokuqala. Owesibili ofana nawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho [umngane womshado] wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.” — Mathewu 22:37-39

Okokugcina, kubalulekile ukuba nithandaze njengombhangqwana, ngoba phambi kwamehlo kaNkulunkulu, “nimzimba munye.”^[28]IGen 2: 24 Ngokukhuleka ndawonye, ​​umema umlingani wesithathu emshadweni wakho ukuba ahlale ngaphakathi kini futhi anisize emizabalazweni yenu ukuze nihlale nimunye: uMoya oNgcwele.

NguMoya oNgcwele, ohlala phakathi kwalabo abakholwayo futhi abagcwele futhi obusa phezu kweBandla lonke, oletha lokho kuhlanganyela okumangalisayo kwabakholwayo futhi abahlanganise ndawonye ngokuseduze kakhulu kuKristu kangangokuthi ungumgomo wobunye beBandla. --CCC, 813

 

UNkulunkulu Uyinjongo yakho

Nasi isixwayiso esibalulekile kukho konke okungenhla: ungalokothi ubheke kowakwakho ukuthi yini uNkulunkulu kuphela angakunika yona, okungukuthi, injabulo nenjabulo engaphezu kwemvelo etholakala ngokuhlanganyela Naye. UDavida wabhala: “Umphefumulo wami uhlezi kuNkulunkulu yedwa.^[29]AmaHubo 62: 2 Uma uzama ukufuna lokhu kuthula okungaphezu kwemvelo kumngane wakho womshado, ngeke nje waneliseke, kodwa ungase wakhe izibopho ezingokomzwelo ezingaholela ekusebenzelaneni, umjikelezo wokuziphatha okungasebenzi kahle, ukwehluleka okulindelekile, ukucasuka nokunye. UNkulunkulu wasinika abangane bomshado “ngoba akukuhle ukuba umuntu abe yedwa.”^[30]UGenesise 2: 18 Ungumngane ozohamba nawe enhliziyweni kaNkulunkulu, hhayi esikhundleni salo. Futhi, ukuhlangana komshado ekugcineni kukhomba imfihlakalo kaKristu neBandla Lakhe. Wena futhi owakwakho unobizo olukhulu kunobizo lwakho: wukuba uMlobokazi kaKristu. Lapho kulele ukugcwaliseka kwazo zonke izifiso...

Isifiso sikaNkulunkulu silotshiwe enhliziyweni yomuntu, ngoba umuntu wadalwa uNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu… --CCC, 27

Sengiphetha, ngifuna ukuhlanganyela enye ingoma yothando engiyibhale emishadweni. Ikhuluma ngendlela uthando lomlingani okufanele ekugcineni lusikhombe kuNkulunkulu. Uma oshade naye ekusiza ukuba usondele kuJesu, qiniseka ukuthi uphila ubizo lwakho ngokwezinjongo Zakhe.

Yazi ngithandazela bonke abashadile abakhona. Ungalilahli ithemba. NgoNkulunkulu, zonke izinto zingenzeka.
