Ungawenza njani umthandazo wokuthula. Thula wena love
"... .Wathi cwaka nje yonke into
kwaye ubusuku babuphakathi phakathi kwindlela yabo
Ilizwi lakho, Somandla,
Uvela etroneni yakho yobukumkani .... " (Ubulumko 18, 14-15)
Ukuthula yeyona ngoma igqibeleleyo
"Umthandazo uthule kutata kunye nokuhlala yedwa umama," utshilo uGirolamo Savonarola.
Ukuthula kuphela, enyanisweni, kwenza ukuba ukumamela kwenzeke, oko kukuthi, ukwamkelwa kukodwa kungekuphela kweLizwi, kodwa nangobukho baLowo uyathethayo.
Ukuthula ke kuvula umKristu ukuba abe namava okuhlala ngaphakathi kukaThixo: nguThixo esimfuna ngokulandela uKrestu ovusiweyo ngokholo, nguThixo ongenguye ngaphandle kwethu, kodwa uhlala ngaphakathi kuthi.
UYesu uthi kwiVangeli kaYohane: "... Ukuba omnye uyandithanda. uyawagcina amazwi am kwaye uBawo uyamthanda kwaye siza kuza kuye sihlale naye ... "(Yohane 14,23: XNUMX).
Ukuthula lulwimi lothando, ubunzulu bobukho bomnye.
Ngaphezulu, kumava othando, ukuthula kuthe cwaka ngakumbi, kunene kwaye kunxibelelana ulwimi kunelizwi.
Ngelishwa, ukuthula kunqabile namhlanje, iyile nto yokuba uninzi lwendoda yanamhlanje isiva ngeengxolo, igcwala yimiyalezo enesandi kunye nembonakalo, iphangwe bubuntu bayo, phantse engabenzanga yona, yinto eyona nto ilahlekileyo.
Ke ngoko, akumangalisi ukuba abantu abaninzi baphendukele kwiindlela zokomoya ezingezizo ezobuKristu.
Simele sivume ukuba: sifuna ukuthula!
KwiNtaba ye-Oreb, umprofeti uEliya waqala weva umoya ovuthuzayo, emva koko wanyikima umhlaba, emva koko "... ilizwi lokuthula elizolileyo .." (1 Kumkani 19,12: XNUMX): njengoko wayesiva lo myalezo, UEliya wabugquma ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe, wazibeka ebusweni bukaThixo.
UThixo uzenza abekhona kuEliya ethe cwaka, athi cwaka.
Ukutyhilelwa kwebhayibhile kaThixo akupheleli nje kwilizwi, kodwa kukwenzeka kuthi cwaka.
U-Thixo ozityhilela ethe cwaka nangentetho ufuna ukuba umntu amamele, kwaye ukuthula kufuneka kumamele.
Ewe kunjalo, ayisiyonto nje yokungavumi ukuthetha, kodwa kukuzola ngaphakathi, lo ubukhulu obunokuthi busibuyisele kuthi, busibeka kwindiza yokuba, phambi kwezinto ezibalulekileyo.
Kusuka kuthi cwaka ukuba kuvulwe igama elibukhali, elinokungena, elinokuthetha, elinengqiqo, nelikhanyayo, ewe, ndiyanyanga, ndiyakwazi ukuthuthuzela.
Ukuthula ngumgcini wezinto zangaphakathi.
Ewe kunjalo, yinto ethe cwaka, ewe, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, njengonobunkunkqele nakwindlela yokuziphatha ekuthetheni nasekuthetheni njengamagama, kodwa okuphuma kulo mzuzu wokuqala ukuya kwinqanaba elingaphakathi: oko kukuthi ukucima iingcinga, imifanekiso, imvukelo, ukugweba , ukumbombozela okuvela entliziyweni.
Ngapha koko, "... ngaphakathi, oko kukuthi, entliziyweni yomntu, kuphuma iingcinga ezimbi ..." (Marko 7,21: XNUMX).
Yeyona cwaka inzima yokudlala ngaphakathi edlalwa entliziyweni, yindawo yomzabalazo wokomoya, kodwa ngokuchanekileyo lo cwaka luthi luvelise uthando, ingqalelo kwelinye, ukwamkelwa kolunye.
Ewe, ukuthula kuhla nzulu kwindawo yethu yokwenza ukuba uphilele kwenye into, ukukwenza ukuba uhlale ulilizwi lakhe, ukuze usinike uthando lweNkosi. ngaxeshanye, kwaye ngokunxibelelene nale, isibeka kuthi ukuba siphulaphule ngobukrelekrele, kwilizwi elilinganisiweyo, kwaye ke, lo myalelo uphindwe kabini wothando lukaThixo nommelwane uzalisekiswa ngabo bayaziyo ukuba bathi cwaka.
U-Basilio unokuthi: "Ukuthi cwaka kuba ngumthombo wobabalo kumameli".
Ngeli xesha sinokuphinda, ngaphandle koloyiko ukuwela i-rhetoric, ingxelo ka-E Rostand: "Ukuzola yeyona ngoma ilungileyo, owona mthandazo uphezulu".
Njengoko kukhokelela ekuphulweni nguThixo nasekuthandweni komzalwana, kuye uthando oluyinyaniso, oko kukuthi, ubomi kuKristu, emva koko uthi cwaka ngumthandazo ongumKristu kwaye uyamkholisa uThixo.
Cwaka umamele
Umthetho uthi:
"Phulaphula, Sirayeli, iNkosi uThixo wakho" (Dut. 6,3).
Ayithi: "Thetha", kodwa "Mamela".
Igama lokuqala alithethayo nguThixo leli: "Mamela".
Ukuba uthe waliphulaphula, uya kuzikhusela iindlela zakho; kwaye ukuba uyawa, uya kuzilungisa ngoko nangoko.
Umfana ophulukene nendlela uza kuyifumana njani indlela?
Ngokucamngca ngamazwi eNkosi.
Okokuqala cwaka, kwaye umamele… .. (S. Ambrogio)
