Umuntu ukuthola kanjani ukuthula nenjabulo kulesi simo? Ngiyakutshela, lapho is indlela, indlela enqamula kuleli hlane.
IZINYATHELO EZIQINISEKILE
Ngalezi zikhathi, lapho iLanga libonakala lifihliwe yiziphepho zesihlabathi, yehlisa amehlo akho, ubheke phansi ezinyaweni zakho, ngoba lapho uzothola isinyathelo esilandelayo.
UJesu wathi:
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe.
(UJohn 15: 10-11)
Wazi kanjani ukuthi uhlala noNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu unawe? Uma ugcina imiyalo yaKhe. Indlela edabula ogwadule akufanele yahlulelwe yimizwa noma ngomuzwa wokugcotshwa. Imizwa ngama-phantoms afika adlule. Kuyini ukhonkolo? Intando kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yakho — imiyalo yaKhe, umsebenzi wesikhashana- lokho okudingeka kuwe ngokobizo lwakho njengomama, ubaba, ingane, umbhishobhi, umpristi, indela, noma umuntu ongashadile.
Ukudla kwami ukwenza intando yongithumileyo… (Johane 4:34)
Lapho uzwa ukugijima kukaMoya, bonga uNkulunkulu ngalomusa. Uma uhlangana nobukhona Bakhe, Mbusise. Lapho imizwa yakho idungeka ngokugcotshwa Kwakhe, Mdumise. Kepha lapho ungezwa lutho ngaphandle kokoma kogwadule, ungacabangi ukuthi indlela ikhishiwe ngaphansi kwakho. Kuqinisekile njengakuqala:
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami… Ngikunike isibonelo okufanele usilandele, ukuze njengoba ngenze kuwe, nawe wenze. (Johane 13:15; 15:10)
Lapho ugeza izitsha, wena kukhona ukuhlala kuNkulunkulu, noma ngabe uzizwa into noma cha. Leli yi "joka elilula nomthwalo olula". Kungani ubheka izindlela ezinkulu zokuguqulwa ngokomoya ngenkathi unikezwe indlela elula neqinisekile yobungcwele? Indlela yothando…
Ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu yilokhu, ukuthi sigcine imiyalo yakhe. Futhi imiyalo yakhe ayiwona umthwalo. (1 Johane 5: 3)
INDLELA YOTHANDO
Ngale ndlela ehlane kufingqwe ngomusho owodwa:
Yilo umyalo wami: thandanani njengoba nami nginithanda. (Johane 15:12)
Isilingo esikhulu kunazo zonke esibhekana naso ogwadule ukudikibala, okungaholela entukuthelweni, ukufutheka, inhliziyo elukhuni, kuze kuphele nokuphelelwa yithemba ngokuphelele. Kulesi simo, singagcwalisa imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngendlela elimaza umakhelwane wethu ngokukhononda, ukukhononda, ukubekezela nentukuthelo. Cha, kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi senze lezi zinto ezincane, isibopho salesi sikhathi, ngothando olukhulu.
Uthando luyabekezela futhi lunomusa; uthando alunamhawu noma aluzigabisi; aluzikhukhumezi noma aludeleli. Uthando aluphiki ngendlela yalo; ayicasuki noma icasuke; aluthokozi ngokungalungile, kodwa lujabulela okulungile. Uthando lubekezelela zonke izinto… (1 Kor 13: 4-7)
Ngaphandle kothando, kusho uSt. Paul, angizuzi lutho. Uma uhluleka kulokhu, udinga kuphela ukucela umusa wokubuyisa inhliziyo yakho futhi, ngokuzimisela okuqinile kokuthanda ngaphansi kwazo zonke izimo.
INDLELA EMFUSHANE
Igama elithi "ukuhlala" noma "ukuhlala" kuJesu lisuselwa esiGrekini, "hupomeno" okusho ukuthi hlala ngaphansi or ukukhuthazela ubunzima, ukushushiswa, noma ukucasulwa ngokholo nokubekezela. Yebo, kufanele uphikelele kule ndlela, “umgwaqo omncane futhi onzima.” Injalo ngoba ibandakanya ukulwa nezwe, inyama, kanye nosathane. “Kulula” ngoba imiyalo yaKhe ayinkulu kakhulu; “kunzima” ngenxa yokumelana nesilingo ozozizwa. Ngakho-ke, kufanele ube umzuzwana nomzuzwana njengomntwana omncane, uhlale uzithoba phambi Kwakhe ngakho konke ukwehluleka nezinyathelo zakho ezingezinhle. Nalu ukholo oluqinile: ukuthembela emseni Wakhe lapho ungafaneleki khona.
Le Ndlela Yogwadule inganyathelwa ngabathobekile benhliziyo… kepha uNkulunkulu useduze nabathobekile nezinhliziyo eziphukile! (IHubo 34:19) Ngakho ungesabi, ngisho nokwehluleka kwakho. Sukuma! Hamba nami! Ngiseduze, Kusho uJesu. Ngihambile lo mgwaqo wobuthakathaka babantu Mina uqobo, futhi ngizophinde ngihambe ngawo nawe, Mvana yami.
Thulisa ingqondo yakho, uzibe imizwa yakho, bese ubheka isikhathi samanje, ubuze, "Uyini umsebenzi wami njengamanje?" Leso yisinyathelo esilandelayo ohambweni lwakho lokujula ungene kuNkulunkulu, uhambo okuthi, ngaphandle kwemizwa yakho, kuholela enkululekweni nasenjabulweni. Thembela eZwini laKhe, hhayi imizwa yakho, futhi uzothola ukuthula:
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. Lokhu ngikukhulume kini, ukuze intokozo yami ibe kini, nokuthokoza kwenu kugcwale. (UJohn 15: 10-11)
Empeleni, ubungcwele bunento eyodwa kuphela: ukwethembeka okuphelele entandweni kaNkulunkulu…. Ufuna izindlela eziyimfihlo zokukaNkulunkulu, kodwa yinye kuphela: ukusebenzisa noma yini akunikeza yona…. Isisekelo esikhulu futhi esiqinile sempilo engokomoya ukuzinikela kwethu kuNkulunkulu nokuba ngaphansi kwentando Yakhe ezintweni zonke…. UNkulunkulu usisiza ngokweqiniso noma singazizwa kanjani ukuthi asisasisekeli. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla Ukuhlinzekwa NguNkulunkulu
