Usuku 7: Njengoba Unjalo

KUNGANI siyaziqhathanisa nabanye? Ingenye yemithombo emikhulu yokungajabuli kwethu kanye nefonti yamanga...

Masiqhubeke manje: Egameni likaYise, neleNdodana, nelikaMoya oNgcwele, amen.

Woza Moya oNgcwele, Wena owehlela phezu kukaJesu ngesikhathi Ebhapathizwa ngezwi likaBaba waseZulwini, ethi: “Lo uyiNdodana Yami Ethandekayo.” LeloPhimbo elifanayo, nakuba lalingezwakali, lasho ekukhulelweni kwami futhi lapho ngiMbhapathiza: “Lo uyindodana/indodakazi yami ethandekayo.” Ngisize ngibone futhi ngazi ukuthi ngiyigugu kangakanani emehlweni kaBaba. Ngisize ngethembe ekuklameni Kwakhe ukuthi ngingubani, nokuthi ngingubani. Ngisize ukuba ngiphumule ezingalweni zikaBaba njengomntwana Wakhe oyingqayizivele. Ngisize ngibonge ukuphila kwami, umphefumulo wami waphakade, nensindiso uJesu angenzele yona. Ngithethelele ngokukuzwisa usizi wena Moya oNgcwele ngokuzilahla mina neziphiwo zami kanye nengxenye yami emhlabeni. Ngomusa wakho ngalolusuku, ngisize ngamukele inhloso yami nendawo yami endalweni futhi ngizithande, njengoba uJesu engithanda, ngeGama Lakhe Elingcwele Kakhulu, amen.

Lalela leliculo uNkulunkulu akutshela ngalo njengamanje ukuthi uyakuthanda njengoba unjalo, njengoba nje Yena wakudala.

Njengoba Unjalo

Izandla ezincane nezinyawo ezincane, izinzwane ezincane ezinogwaja
Umama uncike embhedeni bese eqabula ikhala lakho elimnandi
Awufani nezinye izingane, lokhu siyakubona
Kodwa uyohlale uyinkosazana kimi

Ngikuthanda njengoba unjalo
Njengoba unjalo
Ezandleni zami uzoba nekhaya
Njengoba unjalo

Akazange aphuze ekilasini, akakaze abe muhle esikoleni
Efuna ukuthandwa kuphela, wazizwa eyisiwula
Ngobunye ubusuku wamane wafisa ukufa, bebelie kungekho onendaba
Aze abheke phezulu emnyango
Futhi wabona ubaba wakhe lapho

Ngikuthanda njengoba unjalo
Njengoba unjalo
Ezandleni zami uzoba nekhaya
Njengoba unjalo

Umbona ehlezi ethule, ufana kakhulu
Kodwa abakaze bahleke isikhathi eside,
Akakhumbuli ngisho negama lakhe.
Uthatha izandla zakhe, ebuthakathaka futhi ebuthakathaka, afuthi icula ngesisa
Amazwi amtshele impilo yakhe yonke
Kusukela ngosuku athatha ngalo indandatho yakhe...

Ngikuthanda njengoba unjalo
Njengoba unjalo
Enhliziyweni yami uzoba nekhaya
Njengoba unjalo
Uyohlala unekhaya
Njengoba unjalo

- UMark Mallett, ovela kuLove Holds On, 2002©

Ngisho noma umama wakho akulahla—noma umndeni wakho, abangani bakho, owakwakho—uyohlala unekhaya ezingalweni zikaBaba waseZulwini.

Isithombe Esihlanekezelwe

Uma ngithi uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda “njengoba unjalo,” lokho akusho ukuthi uyakuthanda “esimeni okuso.” Ubaba onjani ongasho ukuthi, “O, ngikuthanda njengoba unjalo” - njengoba izinyembezi zigeleza ezihlathini zethu nobuhlungu bugcwalisa izinhliziyo zethu? Kungenxa yokuthi sithandwa kakhulu kangangokuthi uBaba uyenqaba ukusishiya esimweni sokuwa.

Kepha manje lahlani konke: intukuthelo, nokufutheka, nenzondo, nokuhlambalaza, nokukhuluma okuyichilo emilonyeni yenu. Yekani ukuqamba amanga omunye komunye, njengoba nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nemikhuba yakhe futhi nembethe umuntu omusha, owenziwa musha, ukuze abe nolwazi, ngomfanekiso womdali wakhe. ( Kol 3:8-10 )

Lapho ngivame ukuhamba futhi ngishumayele ezikoleni zamaKatolika kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika, ngangivame ukutshela izingane ukuthi: “UJesu akezanga ukuzosusa ubuntu benu, Uzele ukuzosusa isono senu. Isono siyahlanekezela futhi sikhubaze lokho esiyikho ngempela, njengoba lapho uthando nezimfundiso zikaKristu zisisiza ukuba sibe yithina esiqotho.

...intando yomuntu imenza aphike imvelaphi yakhe, ibole kwasekuqaleni; ubuhlakani bakhe, inkumbulo futhi iyohlala ingenakukhanya, futhi isithombe saphezulu sihlala sikhubazekile futhi singabonakali. —UJesu ENcekwini KaNkulunkulu Luisa Piccarreta, September 5, 1926, Umq. 19

Wake wabuka esibukweni wabubula: “Ngingubani mina??” Kungumusa ongaka ukuthi ube nawe, ukhululeke futhi ukhululeke esikhumbeni sakho. Ubukeka kanjani umKristu onjalo? Bathi, ngazwi linye, uthobekile. Banelisekile ngokunganakwa, kodwa qaphela abanye. Bathanda kakhulu imibono yabanye kuneyabo. Uma bebongwa bavele bathi “ngiyabonga” (kunokuba benze izigwegwe ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu kufanele akhazinyuliswe, hhayi bona, njll.). Lapho benza amaphutha, abamangali. Lapho behlangabezana namaphutha abanye, bakhumbula awabo. Bajabulela iziphiwo zabo kodwa bajabulela abanye abanesiphiwo. Baxolela kalula. Bayakwazi ukuthanda omncane kubazalwane futhi abesabi ubuthakathaka namaphutha abanye. Ngenxa yokuthi bayalwazi uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungenamibandela, namandla abo okuwenqaba, bahlala bebancane, benokwazisa, bethobekile.

Kuyahlekisa ukuthi sifuna kanjani ukuthanda, ukuqinisekisa, kanye nokubona uKristu kwabanye - kodwa singazidluliseli kithina lokho kuphana okufanayo. Uyakubona ukuphikisana? Ingabe nobabili anidalwanga ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu? Lokhu kufanele kube isimo sengqondo ngawe:

Wena wabumba izibilini zami; wangiluka esiswini sikamama. Ngiyakudumisa, ngokuba ngenziwa ngokumangalisayo; iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho! Mina uqobo lwami Uyazazi. ( IHu 13913-14 )

Bekungeke yini kube kuhle ukufika endaweni lapho siyeke khona umsebenzi ongapheli nokhathazayo wokuzama ukujabulisa noma ukujabulisa wonke umuntu? Lapho siyeka khona ukuzizwa singalondekile phakathi kwabanye, noma ukubamba uthando nokunakwa? Noma ngokuphambene, awukwazi ukuba sesixukuni noma ukubheka omunye umuntu emehlweni? Ukuphulukiswa kuqala ngokuzamukela wena, ukulinganiselwa kwakho, ukungezwani kwakho, nokuzithande wena - njengoba unjalo - ngoba yileyondlela owenziwe ngayo uMdali.

ngizobaphulukisa. ngizabahola, ngibuyisele induduzo egcweleyo kubo lakulabo abalilayo, ngidale amazwi enduduzo. Ukuthula! Ukuthula makube kwabakude nabaseduze,” usho uJehova; futhi ngizobaphulukisa. (Funda u-Isaya 57:18-19.)

Isimo Sakho

Sonke siyalingana emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa asifani. Ngesikhathi sokuhoxa kwami buthule, ngavula ijenali yami futhi iNkosi yaqala ukukhuluma nami mayelana nesimilo. Ngithemba ukuthi awunankinga uma ngingabelana ngalokho okuphuma esibayeni sami njengoba kungisize ngempela ukuqonda ukuhlukana kwethu kwabantu:

Indalo Yami ngayinye yenziwe yaba nesimo somoya - ngisho nezilwane. Abanye abanalo ulaka, abanye bafuna ukwazi, abanye banamahloni, kanti abanye banesibindi. Kanjalo, futhi, ngabantwana Bami. Isizathu siwukuthi ubuntu bemvelo buyindlela yokulinganisa nokuvumelanisa indalo. Abanye bakhuliswa ukuthi babe ngabaholi ukuze baphile nempilo enhle yalabo ababazungezile; abanye bayalandela ukuze bagcine ukuzwana futhi babe isibonelo kwabanye. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuba umphostoli aqaphele le mfanelo endalweni.

Kungakho ngithi: “Ningahluleli.” Ngoba uma umuntu enesibindi, kungenzeka ukuthi isipho sabo esokuhola abanye. Uma enye igodliwe, kungase kube ukunikeza ukufudumala kwesibindi. Uma umuntu ethule futhi ethule kakhulu ngokwemvelo, kungase kube ubizo oluqondile lokukhulisa ukuhlakanipha ukuze kube nenzuzo evamile. Uma omunye ekhuluma ngokushesha, kungase kube ukushukumisa nokuvimbela abanye ebuvila. Ngakho-ke, uyabona, ingane, isimo sengqondo siyalelwe ekuhlelekeni nasekuzwaneni.

Manje, isimo sengqondo singashintshwa, sicindezelwe futhi sishintshwe ngokuvumelana namanxeba omuntu. Abanamandla bangaba buthaka, abamnene bangaba nolaka, abamnene bangaba nokhahlo, ozethembayo bangesaba, njalonjalo. Futhi ngaleyo ndlela, ukuvumelana kwendalo kuphonswa esiphithiphithini esithile. Lokho “kuyisiphithiphithi” sikaSathane. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlengwa Kwami namandla okuVuka Kwami kuyadingeka ukuze kubuyiselwe izinhliziyo kanye nobunjalo bangempela babo bonke abantwana Bami. Ukuwabuyisela esimweni sawo esifanele ngisho nokuwugcizelela.

Lapho umphostoli Wami eholwa uMoya Wami, isimo somoya esingokwemvelo esisiphiwe nguNkulunkulu asenziwa ize; kunalokho, isimo sengqondo esihle sinikeza isisekelo sokuba umphostoli ‘aphume’ enhliziyweni yomunye: “Jabulani nabajabulayo, nikhale nabakhalayo. Yibani nokuhloniphana okufanayo; lingazikhukhumezi kodwa lizihlanganise labaphansi; ungahlakaniphi ngokwakho. ( Roma 12:15-16 )

…Ngakho-ke Ndodana Yami, ungalokothi uziqhathanise nenye njengoba nje nenhlanzi akufanele iziqhathanise nenyoni, noma uzwane nesandla. Thatha indawo yakho nenjongo ngohlelo lwendalo ngokwamukela ngokuzithoba futhi uphile esimweni somoya osinikwe nguNkulunkulu ukuze uthande uNkulunkulu futhi uthande abanye, njengoba uzithanda wena.

Inkinga ukuthi isono sethu, amanxeba, nokungazethembi kugcina kusenza sibe nemfashini futhi sisiguqule, okuvezwa emibhalweni yethu. ubuntu.

Umoya owunikwe uNkulunkulu uwukuthambekela okungokwemvelo ozizwayo. Ubuntu bakho yibo obakheka ngezinto ezenzeka empilweni, ukwakheka kwakho emndenini, ingqikithi yamasiko akho, kanye nobudlelwano bakho Nami. Ndawonye, isimo sakho sengqondo nobuntu kwakha ubuwena.

Qaphela, Mntanami, ukuthi angishongo ukuthi iziphiwo zakho noma iziphiwo zakho zakha ubuwena. Kunalokho, zengeza indima yakho nenjongo (umsebenzi) emhlabeni. Cha, ubuwena, uma buphelele futhi bunganqamuki, buwukubonakaliswa komfanekiso Wami kuwe.

Izwi Ngezipho Zakho Nawe

Izipho zakho ziyilokho-ke izipho. Ayengase anikezwe umakhelwane wakwamakhelwane. Akubona ubuwena. Kodwa bangaki bethu abagqoka imaski ngokusekelwe ekubukekeni kwethu, amathalente ethu, isimo sethu, ingcebo yethu, izilinganiso zokugunyazwa kwethu, njll.? Ngakolunye uhlangothi, bangaki phakathi kwethu abangenakho ukuzethemba, abagwema noma babeke phansi izipho zethu noma bagqibe amathalente ethu ngoba singenakuqhathaniswa nabanye, futhi lokho kubuye kube ubuthina?

Enye yezinto uNkulunkulu ayiphulukisa kimi ekupheleni kokuhlehla kwami buthule kwakuyisono engangingasiqapheli: Ngangisenqabile isipho sami somculo, izwi lami, isitayela sami, njll. Endleleni egodukayo, ngangizohlala. ngokuthula, ngimema uNkosikazi Wethu ukuthi angiphelezele esihlalweni somgibeli ukuze nje ngicabange ngomusa omkhulu walezo zinsuku eziyisishiyagalolunye. Kunalokho, ngezwa ethi angifake amaCD ami. Ngakho ngadlala Ngikhulule Kimi kuqala. Umhlathi wami wavuleka: konke ukuhlehla kwami kokuphola buthule kwaboniswa kuleyo albhamu, ngaphambili ukuya emuva, kwesinye isikhathi igama negama. Ngavele ngabona ukuthi lokho engangikudala eminyakeni engama-24 ngaphambili empeleni kwakuyi- isiprofetho kokuphulukiswa kwami uqobo (futhi manje, ngiyakhulekela, abaningi benu). Eqinisweni, ukube angizange ngisamukele isipho sami kabusha ngalolo suku, ngazama ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi angikwenzi lokhu kuhoxa. Ngoba njengoba ngilalele izingoma, ngabona ukuthi kukhona ukuphulukiswa kuzo, ezingaphelele, futhi ngagqugquzelwa ukuba ngizifake endaweni yokuhlehla.

Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi sisebenzise izipho zethu futhi singazingcwabi emhlabathini ngenxa yokwesaba noma ukuthobeka okungamanga (cf. Mathewu 25:14-30).

Futhi, umhlaba awuyidingi enye i-St. Thérèse de Lisieux. Eyikudingayo wena. Wena, hhayi u-Thérèse, wazalelwa lesi sikhathi. Eqinisweni, impilo yakhe iyisibonelo somuntu owayengaziwa emhlabeni, ngisho nodadewabo abaningi esigodlweni sezindelakazi, ngothando lwakhe olujulile nolufihliwe ngoJesu. Futhi nokho, namhlanje, unguDokotela weBandla. Ngakho uyabona, ungakubukeli phansi lokho uNkulunkulu angakwenza ngalokho esibonakala singabalulekile.

Noma ubani oziphakamisayo uyothotshiswa; kodwa loba ngubani ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa. ( Mathewu 23:12 )

UNkulunkulu ufuna wamukele inhloso nendawo yakho endalweni ngoba kunesizathu salokho, mhlawumbe njengoba kunesizathu semithala ekude engeke ibonwe muntu.

Ukuzazi Wena

Thatha ijenali yakho manje bese ucela uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi uze futhi futhi akusize uzibone ekukhanyeni kweqiniso. Bhala phansi izindlela onqabe ngazo iziphiwo kanye namakhono akho. Phawula izindlela ozizwa ungalondekile ngazo noma ungazethembi. Buza uJesu ukuthi kungani uzizwa ngale ndlela bese ubhala lokho okufikayo engqondweni yakho. Angase akwembulele inkumbulo kwasebuntwaneni bakho noma esinye isilonda. Bese ucela uJehova ukuthi akuthethelele ngokulahla indlela akwenze ngayo nanoma ngayiphi indlela awukazamukeli ngokuzithoba, njengoba unjalo.

Okokugcina bhala phansi izipho namakhono akho, amakhono akho emvelo kanye nezinto ozenza kahle, futhi ubonge uNkulunkulu ngalokhu. Mbonge ngokuthi “wenziwe ngokumangalisayo.” Futhi, qaphela isimo sakho sengqondo futhi umbonge ngokukwenza indlela oyiyo. Ungasebenzisa lezi zimo ezine zakudala, noma inhlanganisela yazo, njengesiqondiso:
