Umlingiswa wami “Mfowethu Tarsus” wase-Arcātheos
LOKHU ngesonto, ngijoyina engihamba nabo embusweni waseLumenorus e I-Arcatheos njengo “Mfowethu Tarsu”. Yinkambi yabafana abangamaKatolika esesizindeni sezintaba zaseCanada Rocky futhi ayifani nanoma yiliphi ikamu labafana engake ngalibona.
Phakathi kweMisa nezimfundiso eziqinile, abafana bathatha (amagwebu) izinkemba balwe nesitha (obaba abagqoke imvunulo), noma bafunde amakhono ahlukahlukene kusuka ekucibisheni ngomnsalo kuya ekuboshweni kwamafindo. Uma ungakayiboni, ngezansi kukhona i-trailer yaseshashalazini engayikhipha ekhempini eminyakeni embalwa edlule.
Umlingiswa wami ngu-Arch-Lord Legarius okuthi uma engavikeli iNkosi, athathe umhlalaphansi aye ezintabeni yedwa ngomkhuleko njengo "Mfowethu Tarsus." Kimina, le ndima yokulingisa yithuba lokungena kumlingiswa kasanta, futhi izinsuku eziyisithupha, ngiphile ngempela phakathi kwabafana. Ngivela emndenini olingisayo, ngakhula ngilingisa, futhi kimi, lokhu kungenye indlela nendlela yokushumayela. Imvamisa, iNkosi ibeka izwi enhliziyweni yami, futhi maphakathi nendawo, ngizokwaba okuthile kweVangeli.
Ngemuva kokuqala kokulingisa ekamu eminyakeni eminingana edlule, ngangena emotweni yami ngahamba ibanga elide ngiya ekhaya futhi ngazithola sengikhala. "Kwakungubani lowo?”Ngicabange. “Lowo ngusanta engidinga ukuba yikho nsuku zonke.”Kodwa lapho ngibuyela ekhaya kwizikweletu zami engingazikhokhi, imishini ephukile epulazini, ukuba ngumzali, kanye nezidingo zenkonzo yami, ngathola ngokushesha ukuthi ngingubani ngempela. Futhi bekuzehlisa. Ngikulangazelele ukuba lula kwendima engiyibambile, kude nezwe le-inthanethi, amagajethi, amakhadi wesikweletu, i-imeyili, ukushesha okusheshayo… kepha… real impilo — ikamu lalingekho.
Iqiniso ukuthi lapho ngikhona empilweni njengamanje njengobaba oshadile wezingane eziyisishiyagalombili nginomzukulu oyedwa, ubuphostoli obhala emhlabeni wonke, inkonzo yomculo, nepulazi elincane okufanele liphathwe—nansi indlela yami eya ebungcweleni, futhi akekho omunye. Singaphupha ngezindima zokulingisa — futhi lokho kufaka phakathi ukuya emishini emazweni angaphandle, ukuqala izinkonzo ekhaya, ukuwina ilotho ukuze sikwazi ukusiza abantu abaswele, ukuthola lokhu noma ikhefu lelo…. Kepha eqinisweni, njengamanje, lapho sikhona, iqukethe indlela efihliwe nengcebo yomusa yokuba ngusanta. Futhi uma lokho kungathandeki ngokwengeziwe, indlela ezosebenza kalula; Lapho isiphambano sanda, uvuko luba lukhulu.
Kuyadingeka kithi ukuthi sibhekane nobunzima obuningi ukungena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu. (IzEnzo 14:22)
Indlela eyiqiniso eya ebungcweleni yiyona ndawo yokuphila oyikhona njengamanje. Kwabanye benu, lokho kungenzeka ukuthi kulele embhedeni, noma kuseduze kombhede womuntu odinga ukunakekelwa njalo. Kubuyela emsebenzini wakho nalowo muntu osebenza naye onzima, umphathi ophatheka kabi, noma isimo esingenabulungisa.

Ukuhlala uthembekile kumuntu oshade naye, usebenzelana nezingane ezihlubukayo, noma ukuya eMiseni ngokwethembeka esontweni lakho "elifile". Imvamisa, sizithola sithandazela ukuthi isimo sishintshe, futhi uma kungenjalo, siyazibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu engalaleli. Kepha impendulo yaKhe ihlale ivezwa ngomsebenzi okwamanje. Leyo yintando yaKhe, ngakho-ke, indlela eya ebungcweleni.

Muva nje, sengiyekile ukucela iNkosi ukuthi ibusise engicabanga ukuthi iyindlela engcono kakhulu eya phambili, futhi esikhundleni salokho, manje ngicela uBaba angibonise He uyakwenza.
Ngikhombise okwenzayo, Baba, ukuze ngenze iNtando yakho kuphela, hhayi eyami.

Uyongikhombisa indlela yokuphila; Injabulo egcwele ebusweni bakho. (IHubo 16:11)
Ukufunda ukuphumula eNtandweni Yakhe, noma kunzima kangakanani, kuyisihluthulelo sokuthula. Igama lithi ukulahlwa. Kuleli sonto, Intando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ngiphinde ngibe nguMfoweth 'uTarsus ukuze izinsizwa, kufaka phakathi amadodana ami amabili enginawo, angazithokozisi ngokuphila nje kuphela, kodwa nangeVangeli. Kepha uma konke sekuphelile, ngizobe ngibuyela e-True Adventure nasendleleni ethile eya ebungcweleni: ukuba ngubaba, umyeni, nomfowenu nonke.
Kwangathi kungenziwa kimi ngokwezwi lakho. (Luka 1:28)
