Yiyo loo nto kuthetha ukuba ukugcina uThixo embindini wobomi bethu
Abantu baba ngababhali kuzo zonke iintlobo zezizathu. Ukuhlala kwendalo phambi kwabanye, umzekelo. Abanye bethu banokuyeka ukuthetha okanye ukucinga kancinci kwaye badinga ixesha elingakumbi lokuza noluvo kunokuba incoko ephakathi inokuxhasa. Abanye banokukuqonda ukuchaneka kolwimi kangangokuba kunganyamezeleka ukubeka umngcipheko ekukhethiweyo kwamagama. Kwaye abanye bakhetha ukungaziwa kwegama elibhaliweyo, kuba izimvo zabo ziyingozi kakhulu ukuba zibe zezabo.
Ngokuzenzekelayo omnye waba bantu unokufaka ibango lesipho sokuyila nokuzibandakanya. Amagcisa anqabile. Uninzi lwababhali luqhutywa ukuba lubhale ngenxa yobuthathaka buntu ekuhlaleni.
Ndingumbhali okungenani kwezi zizathu zingasentla. Eyona ndima ndingazange ndiyicingele mna yeyokuba sisithethi esidlangalaleni. Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwababhali olufumanisa ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva kukuba ukuba ukhetha ukubhala, awunakufihla emva kwephepha. Ukuba uyathandeka ngokwaneleyo ukufumana abaphulaphuli, ekugqibeleni unyanzelekile ukuba uzityhile kwaye ungumnikazi wamagama akho phambi kwabaphulaphuli.
Emva kwekota yenkulungwane yeminyaka yovavanyo olupapashiweyo olukhethekileyo, ngoku ndihlala kweyona ndawo ingumbhali yababhali abathethayo. Ngokungafaniyo nabo bathetha kwanangethuba, ababhali abathethayo kufuneka bafunde ulwimi lwesibini: igama elithethiweyo.
Indlela abantu abaninzi abathetha ngayo yahluke kakhulu kwindlela esibhala ngayo eyona nto ilula yokubulela, ikhadi lovelwano, okanye ukungena kwijenali. Yintoni ekhoyo yokubhala ingcinga ethi ngesiquphe ithambekele kumabinzana amfusa? Imiyalezo ebhaliweyo kunye ne-imeyile zinokuthetha ngakumbi okanye zifundise nje, kodwa ngokuya zihamba kakuhle ngakumbi. Okwangoku, izivakalisi ezenzelwe indlebe kunelihlo kufuneka zibe mfutshane, zicoceke kwaye zicace. Ngaphandle kwekoma okanye indawo ebonakalayo ebonakalayo, sithetha ngomgangatho oxabisekileyo esiwubiza ngokuba lixesha.
Xa kusenziwa ngumbhali ofana no-St Paul, asinalo nofifi lokuba bekuvakala njani emntwini. Ngaphandle kwengxelo ehlotshiswe kakuhle kwiZenzo zaBapostile, sazi phantse ngokupheleleyo nguPawulos kwiileta zakhe.
Inokuba yehle kwaye ibe yimbongo, njengoko kule nyanga "Umhobe kuKristu" kwabaseKolose, ibhengezwe ngeCawa yeshumi elinesihlanu yexesha eliqhelekileyo. UPawulos uveza umbono wombono webandla ngoYesu, uvela ngexesha lokwenyani kwisizukulwana sikaPawulos. Ukuba uhlala phantsi wathetha noPaul ngenkulungwane yokuqala yeflask ibhiya kwaye ubuza ngamava akhe ngoYesu, iingcinga zakhe zinokuba zazingacacanga, zisondele ngakumbi.
Kuphela libinzana lamaxesha elibonakala kwiileta zakhe ukubonisa indlela uPawulos awayenokuvakala ngayo buqu. La ngamaxesha apho uPawulos aphulukana nolawulo kwaye acaphuke emntwini: ngaloo mizuzu uyeka ukuqamba kwaye aqale ukukhupha umphunga. UPawulos wayengumbhali ngokunyanzelwa, kungengakuba wayenesimo sengqondo. Kwakunyanzelekile ukuba athethe ekude kwaye amagama abhaliweyo kwafuneka athathe indawo yendoda ngokwakhe endaweni yoluntu.
Kulula ukuyiqonda uPawulos xa ebhala njengesithethi. Xa wathethisa uPetros ngokuba ngumhanahanisi ngokutya neeNtlanga okanye ukukhonkotha kumaGalati ngenxa yokuxhomekeka kwabo ngokwasemfundisweni kulwaluko, asinangqumbo kukhathazeka kukaPawulos. (Omabini la mathuba avela kumaGalati Isahluko 2 nesesi-5-ngokucacileyo ileta engakhuselekanga ebhalwe ngomnqweno ongaphaya koqeqesho oluqhelekileyo.)
Kuxa uPawulos ebhala njengomFarasi ofundileyo, elinganisa onke amagama kwaye ephinda-phinda i-gravitas, apho siziva siphulukana nomtya wentsingiselo yawo. Mhlawumbi ubuvila bengqondo kuthi, kodwa xa uPawulos engena entlokweni yakhe iingcinga zethu ebandleni zinokuqala ukubhadula.
Kutshanje ndiye ndafumana uvelwano olunqabileyo noPaul njengoko ndithatha umhlala-phantsi. Njengombhali othethayo, ndandisokola ukuthetha ngolu lwimi lungaqhelekanga, ndithethela phezulu. Ngelixa lokuvala ngempelaveki ndinike iqela imbono engabalulekanga yezenkolo yokuba amakholwa abizelwe ukulungiselela ubomi bawo noThixo kweli ziko. Ndilixhasile eli bango likaBawo wamaJesuit uPeter van Breemen esithi uThixo ubalulekile ebomini bethu okanye uThixo akayonto.
Isandla senyuka. "Ayisiyonto intle leyo?" Indoda yala.
Ukuba ngumntu ocingayo, ndicinga ngombuzo wakho okomzuzwana. Andizange ndilindele ukuba uThixo kwiziko abe yindawo ethandabuzekayo yamakholwa. Isindululo sikaVan Breemen sokuba uThixo akananto ngaphandle kokubonakala ngathi uphambili unxibelelene nesi siseko-engqondweni yam. Ukanti enye ingqondo ifumene isindululo esikhethekileyo nesigqithisileyo.
Ngaba uPawulos akazange anyanzelise le ndawo isisiseko ngokwenza esi sibhengezo: "Ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto kwaye zonke izinto zimi kuye"? KuPaul, uKristu uliglu yendalo yenyani. Ingqibelelo ifunyanwa ngokumisela amaxabiso ethu kwimbonakalo yayo eqaqambileyo. UPawulos uxela ukuba uKristu ungowokuqala, uKrestu uyintloko, uKrestu usembindini, uKrestu usisiqalo, uKrestu yinzaliseko. UKristu uxolelanisa umntu nobuthixo, bexesha elidlulileyo nelizayo, izulu nomhlaba, ebopha wonke umntu kunye.
"Ewe," ekugqibeleni ndavuma nale ndoda. "Kunzima kakhulu." Inyaniso kunokuba nzima- njengokulahleka, ukubandezeleka, ukusikelwa umda, ukufa. Inyaniso ifuna thina, yiyo loo nto sikhetha ukubaleka okanye ubuncinci siyithambise ngee-shades kunye nemingxunya. Ke samkela uThixo njengombindi: ngaphandle mhlawumbi kosapho kunye nomsebenzi, uxanduva kunye nolonwabo, ezopolitiko kunye nelizwe. Kunzima ukusho, ngaphandle kwee-asterisks, ukuba uKristu usembindini, ukuba umendo wethu ungaye kwaye nobomi bethu bujikeleza ukuthanda kwakhe. "Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi." Uqinile, unempandla kwaye ufuna ngenkani. Ngaphandle kokulalanisa, indlela iimbono zehlabathi ezihamba ngayo.
Abanye ababhali bezakwalizwi bafune ngolangazelelo indawo ethile. Ityala lomKristu oloneleyo likhuliswe kaninzi. UJoseph Champlin wabhala incwadi ehlekisayo kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo ebizwa ngokuba yi-Marginal Catholic: Umceli mngeni, Musa ukutyumza. Ewe kwinqanaba lobufundisi, sonke sinokusebenzisa igumbi elincinci ukuqhuba, okanye okuninzi. Nangona kunjalo, ukukhuthazwa ngumfundisi akuwasusi amandla ebango lika van Breemen.
Ukuba uThixo unguThixo onamandla onke, onamandla onke kunye no-Omega - ukuba uThixo ungukumkani, esebenzisa igama elithi violet, ke ukukhanyela ubukho bukaThixo ebomini bethu kukukhanyela inkcazo yobuthixo. UThixo akanakukhwela umpu wokomoya okanye abe ngumhlobo epokothweni yakho ngamaxesha oswele. Ukuba uThixo akangoyena ubalulekileyo, sinciphisa ubuThixo bube kwinqanaba elilunge ngakumbi, simrhuqele kuThixo kwindima enobuchule. Nje ukuba wehliswe, uThixo uyayeka ukuba nguThixo kuthi.
Hash? Ewe. Ngamnye wethu uzimisele ngokwakhe.
Ukujongana nokunyaniseka okunyanisekileyo komthathi-nxaxheba kwimbono kaThixo, ndingathanda ukuqala kwakhona. Umbhali unokuhlela ngokungapheliyo; isithethi esinye, sithintelwe ixesha nendawo, hayi kakhulu.
Ndingathanda ukugxininisa ukuba ukumazi uThixo kwiziko akusoloko kuthetha ukuthandaza, ukuchitha iyure nganye ecaweni okanye ukucinga ngeenkolo. Kwikholwa lokwenyani, uThixo ngokwemvelo usembindini wosapho kunye nomsebenzi, izigqibo zezemali kunye nokuqonda kwezopolitiko. Intando yoThixo iba yentliziyo ibetha ibaluleke kakhulu kumhla wethu kangangokuba singazi ukuba iyenza njani yonke enye into ukuba yenzeke. Zonke izinto zibambisene obu buhle obungapheliyo kwiziko. Ngaphandle koko, hayi indlela izicwangciso zethu ezibonakala ngokukhawuleza kunye nethemba lethu liphelile!
