INI kusho ukuthi ube ukuhlala kahle?
Nambitha bese uyabona
Kuthiwani ngemiphefumulo esezuze izinga lobungcwele? Kukhona ikhwalithi lapho, "into" umuntu afuna ukuhlala kuyo. Abaningi bashiye abantu abashintshile ngemuva kokuhlangana no-Blessed Mother Teresa noma uJohn Paul II, yize ngezinye izikhathi kwakungakhulunywa kangako phakathi kwabo. Impendulo ukuthi le miphefumulo engajwayelekile yayibe imithombo ephilayo.
Noma ngubani okholwa kimi, njengoba umbhalo usho, 'Kuyogeleza kuye imifula yamanzi aphilayo.' (Johane 7:38)
Umhubi uyabhala:
Yizwani nibone ukuthi iNkosi muhle. (IHu 34: 8)
Abantu balambile futhi bomele Ukunambitha futhi bheka iNkosi, namuhla. Bamfuna ku-Oprah Winfrey, ebhodleleni lotshwala, esiqandisini, ocansini olungekho emthethweni, kuFacebook, ebuthakathini… ngezindlela eziningi, bezama ukuthola injabulo abadalelwe yona. Kepha icebo likaKrestu kwakungukuthi isintu sizomthola eBandleni Lakhe- hhayi isikhungo, ngayinye se- kepha kumalungu ayo aphilayo, its imithombo ephilayo:
Singamanxusa kaKristu, sengathi uNkulunkulu unxusa ngathi. (2 Kor. 5:20)
Leli khulu leminyaka lomele ubuqiniso… Umhlaba ulindele kithi ukuba lula kwempilo, umoya wokukhuleka, ukulalela, ukuthobeka, ukuzidela nokuzidela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla, 22, 76
Yilokhu uSt. Paul ayeqonde lapho ethi,
Ngibethelwe kanye noKristu; akuseyimi ophilayo, kodwa nguKristu ophila kimi (Gal 2: 20)
Uma sihlukanisa lo musho ube izingxenye ezintathu, sithola i- i-anatomy "wokuphila kahle."
"NGIBETHELWE"
Lapho kubhidwa umthombo wamanzi, wonke udaka, idwala, nomhlabathi kufanele kususwe ebusweni. Lokhu kusho ukuthi "ukubethelwa esiphambanweni kanye noKristu": ukuletha ekukhanyeni wonke ama-silt akho, idwala lokuhlubuka, nenhlabathi yesono. Kunzima kakhulu emphefumulweni wamaKrestu ukuba ngumkhumbi waManzi aPhilayo amsulwa nalokhu okuxubene nakho. Umhlaba uyanambitheka, kepha ushiywa unganelisiwe ngamanzi amunyu angcolise umusa abebelangazelela ukuwaphuza.
Lapho umuntu efa kakhulu kuye, kulapho uKristu evuka ngaphakathi.
Ngaphandle kokuthi inhlamvu kakolweni iwele emhlabathini bese ifa, ihlala njengenhlamvu kakolweni kuphela; kodwa uma ifa, ithela izithelo eziningi. (Johane 12:24)
Noma kunjalo, "umgodi obiwe" akwanele. Kufanele kube khona ikhebuli 'elingaqukatha' amanzi aphilayo kaMoya oNgcwele…
"ANGISEKHO OPHILAYO"
Emithonjeni, kwakhiwa isigaxa samatshe noma ukhonkolo ezindongeni zangaphakathi ukugcina umhlaba "ungabuyeli emuva" emthonjeni. 
Sakha ukuvaleka okunjalo "ngemisebenzi emihle." La matshe yi ifomu yomKristu, uphawu olungaphandle oluthi "Ngiyisitsha samanzi aphilayo." Njengoba umbhalo usho,
Ukukhanya kwakho kumele kukhanye phambi kwabanye, ukuze babone imisebenzi yakho emihle bese bekhazimulisa uYihlo osezulwini… Khombisa ukukholwa kwakho kimi ngaphandle kwemisebenzi, ngizobonisa ukukholwa kwami kuwe ngemisebenzi yami. (Math 5:16; Jakobe 2:18)
Yebo, umhlaba kufanele unambithe futhi bonani ukuthi iNkosi muhle. Ngaphandle komthombo obonakalayo, iLiving Waters kunzima ukuyithola. Ngaphandle kwesibaya, umthombo uzoqala ukuwela ngaphansi kwenkanuko yenyama nenkanuko yamehlo nokuziqhenya ngempilo "(1 Johane 2:16) bese ugcwala ameva" okukhathazeka kwezwe nokuyengwa yengcebo "(Math 13:22). Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imithombo ene kuphela "imisebenzi emihle," kepha entula "ingqikithi" yokholo lwangempela kuKristu — Amanzi Aphilayo - imvamisa "injengamathuna acakiwe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi agcwele amathambo abantu abafile nayo yonke inhlobo yokungcola … Ngaphandle ubonakala ulungile, kepha ngaphakathi ugcwele ubuzenzisi nokwenza okubi. " (Mat 23: 27-28).
Encwadini yakhe yokuqala yokubhala, uPapa Benedict ugcizelela ukuthi ukuthanda umakhelwane wakho kunezinto ezimbili: eyodwa iyona Yenza zothando, isenzo esihle uqobo lwaso, kanti esinye Uthando ngubani sidlulisela komunye, okungukuthi, uNkulunkulu oluthando. Bobabili kumele babe khona. Ngaphandle kwalokho ubungozi bomKristu bokwehliselwa ekubeni usonhlalonhle hhayi ufakazi omiswe ngokwaphezulu. Uyaphawula ukuthi abaPhostoli kwakungafanele ...
...feza umsebenzi owenziwe ngomshini wokusabalalisa: babezoba ngamadoda “agcwele uMoya nokuhlakanipha” (bheka iZenzo 6: 1-6). Ngamanye amagama, insizakalo yezenhlalakahle ababefanele bayinikeze yayikhonkolo ngokuphelele, kepha ngasikhathi sinye futhi kwakuyinkonzo yokomoya. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 21
Ukulandela imiyalo kaJesu, ukukhiqiza imisebenzi emihle endleleni, kusho ukuthi akususeyimi engiphilayo, noma kunalokho, ngiyaziphilela, kodwa sengiziphilela umakhelwane wami. Kodwa-ke, akusiye "Mina" engifisa ukunikela ngaye, kodwa nguKristu…
"UKRISTU OHLALA KIMI"
UKristu uhlala kanjani kimi? Ngesimemo senhliziyo, okungukuthi, Umthandazo.
Bheka, ngimi ngasemnyango ngiyangqongqoza; uma umuntu ezwa izwi lami, avule umnyango, ngiyakungena kuye, ngidle naye, naye adle nami. (IsAm 3:20)
Kungumkhuleko othi udonsa uMoya oNgcwele enhliziyweni yami, okugcwalisa amazwi ami, izenzo, nemicabango ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Yilobu Bukhona ngaleso sikhathi obuphuma kimi buye emiphefumulweni eyomile yalabo abafuna ukuqeda ukoma kwabo ngokomoya. Ngandlela thile namhlanje, silahlekelwe ukuqonda ngesidingo somkhuleko empilweni yobuKrestu. Uma ukubhabhadiswa kuyisikhukhula sokuqala somusa, kungumthandazo oqhubeka ugcwalisa umphefumulo wami ngamanzi aPhilayo ukuze aphuze umfowethu. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi izikhonzi ezingamaKristu ezimatasa kakhulu, ezikhuthele kakhulu futhi ezibonakala zinamakhono namuhla zinikela ngezinye izikhathi ngothuli nje emhlabeni? Yebo, kungenzeka, ngoba lokho okufanele sikunikeze akukhona nje kuphela ulwazi noma inkonzo yethu, kodwa uNkulunkulu ophilayo! Simnika ngokuzikhandla ngokungaphezi — sisuke endleleni — kodwa bese siqhubeka nokuzigcwalisa ngaYe ngempilo yangaphakathi yomkhuleko "ngokungapheli." Umbhishobhi, umpristi, noma umuntu ovamile othi "akanaso isikhathi sokuthandaza" nguyena okudingeka athandaze kakhulu, uma kungenjalo, ukuhlubuka kwakhe kuzolahlekelwa amandla akhe okuguqula izinhliziyo.
Futhi ngumkhuleko ongenza ngikwazi ukuthola nokwakha, ngokusho kuka-m
y ubizo, amatshe adingekayo ukuze abe i-oasis ebonakalayo ehlane lomhlaba:
Umthandazo uhambela umusa esiwudingayo ngezenzo ezinhle. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2010
Njengempompo ejikelezayo, imisebenzi emihle uqobo, uma yenziwa ngomoya wesisa senhliziyo yangempela, idonsela phambili ama-Living Waters emphefumulweni ngokuthi abe yisigqi esinjani phakathi kwempilo yangaphakathi nengaphandle yomKrestu: ukuphenduka, imisebenzi emihle, umkhuleko… ukubhola ujule kahle, wakhe isimo sayo, futhi usigcwalise ngoNkulunkulu.
Uthando lukhula ngothando. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 18
Hlalani kimi, njengoba nami ngihlala kini… Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami aninakwenza lutho… Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami. (Johane 15: 4-5, 10)
UFISA UKUBA LUPHI UHLOBO OLUHLE?
Lokhu akusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakwazi ukusebenza ngabantu abazimisele noma abangafuni. Ngempela, kunabaningi "abanesisa" esibonakala sinamandla. Kepha bavame ukufana nezinkanyezi zokudubula ezikhazimula okwesikhashana, bese ziyakhohlwa masinyane, izimpilo zabo zikhanya umzuzwana nje, kodwa zingashiyi khampasi ehlala njalo. Lokhu engikhuluma ngakho lapha yilokho izinkanyezi ezihleliwe, lawo malanga avuthayo abizwa ngokuthi "abangcwele" okukhanya kwawo kuqhubeka kufinyelela kithi noma sekudlule isikhathi sokuphila kwabo emhlabeni. Lo ngumthombo ophilayo okufanele ube yikho! Umthombo onikeza Amanzi Aphilayo aguqula futhi aguqule umhlaba okuzungezile, ashiye Ubukhona Bakhe isikhathi eside ubukhona bakho bungasekho.
Ake ngifingqe konke engikushilo lapha emazwini kaSt.Paul - omunye wemithombo ephakeme kakhulu ebuKristwini esiqhubeka nokugubha uNyaka wayo. Impilo yomKristu yakhelwe phezu kukaJesu, njengoba nomthombo wakhelwe emhlabeni.
Uma umuntu akha kulesi sisekelo ngegolide, nesiliva, namatshe ayigugu, ngokhuni, ngotshani, noma ngotshani, umsebenzi walowo nalowo uzobonakala, ngoba uSuku luzokuveza lokho. Iyokwembulwa ngomlilo, futhi umlilo uvivinye ikhwalithi yomsebenzi walowo nalowo. (1 Kor. 3: 12-13)
Wakha ngani umthombo wakho? Igolide, isiliva, namatshe ayigugu, noma ukhuni, utshani notshani? Izinga lalo mthombo linqunywa "impilo yangaphakathi" yomphefumulo, ubuhlobo onabo noNkulunkulu. Nomkhuleko is ubudlelwano — ukuhlangana kothando neqiniso okuvezwa ngokulalela nokuzithoba. Umphefumulo onjalo kaningi awazi nokuthi wakha umthombo wamatshe ayigugu… kepha abanye bayakwazi. Ngoba bangakwazi ukunambitha futhi babone kuye ukuthi iNkosi muhle. UJesu wathi isihlahla saziwa ngesithelo saso. Yimpilo yangaphakathi efihlekile yesihlahla enquma isithelo: impilo yezimpande, ubisi, nengqikithi. Ubani ongabona phansi komthombo? Yileyo mpilo yangaphakathi ejulile yomthombo, lapho kudonswa khona Amanzi amasha, lapho kunokuthula khona, nokuthula, nokukhuleka ukuthi uNkulunkulu akwazi ukungena emphefumulweni ukuze abanye behlise indebe yesifiso sabo enhliziyweni yakho bathole Lowo abekade bemlangazelela.
Lolu uhlobo lomKrestu uMama uMariya abelokhu evela emashumini eminyaka manje ukukhiqiza. Abaphostoli, abakheka esibelethweni sokuthobeka kwakhe, bazoba imithombo ephilayo oGwadule Olukhulu lwezikhathi zethu. Ngakho uthi, "Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza"ozoba nawo Amanzi onikezayo.
Abangcwele — cabanga ngesibonelo sikaHerered Teresa waseCalcutta — bahlala bevuselela amandla abo okuthanda umakhelwane kusukela ekuhlanganeni kwabo neNkosi Yesidlo, futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi lokhu kuhlangana kwathola isimo sangempela nokujula kwabo ekusebenzeleni abanye. Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nokuthanda umakhelwane ngaleyo ndlela akunakwehlukaniswa, bakha umyalo owodwa… Esibonelweni sikaTeresa waseCalcutta obusisiwe sinomfanekiso ocacile weqiniso lokuthi isikhathi esinikelwe kuNkulunkulu ngomthandazo asigcini ngokususa inkonzo esebenzayo neyothando kumakhelwane wethu kodwa empeleni kungumthombo ongapheli waleyo nsizakalo. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, UDeus Caritas Est, n. 18, 36
Le ngcebo siyibeke ezitsheni zobumba… (2 Kor 4: 7)
