NdinguYihlo, uThixo onamandla onke nenceba. Kodwa ngaba uyathandaza? Okanye ngaba uchitha iiyure uzalisekisa iinkanuko zakho zehlabathi kwaye ungachithi neyure yexesha lakho emthandazweni wemihla ngemihla. Uyawazi umthandazo sisixhobo sakho esinamandla. Ngaphandle komthandazo umphefumlo wakho uyafa kwaye awondli ngesisa sam. Umthandazo linyathelo lokuqala onokuthi uluthathe kum kwaye ngomthandazo ndikulungele ukumamela kwaye ndikunike onke amabanga owafunayo.
Kodwa kutheni ungathandazi? Okanye ngaba uyathandaza xa udiniwe ngumzamo wosuku kwaye unike indawo yokugqibela yokuthandaza? Ngaphandle komthandazo owenziwe ngentliziyo awunakuphila. Ngaphandle komthandazo awunakuyiqonda imizobo endinayo ngawe kwaye awukwazi ukuqonda amandla am nothando lwam.
Nditsho nonyana wam u-Yesu xa wayesemhlabeni ukuzokwenza umsebenzi wakhe wokuhlawulela uthandaze kakhulu kwaye bendinobudlelwane obugqibeleleyo naye. Ubuye athandaze kum kumyezo weminquma xa eqala inkanuko yakhe esithi "Bawo ukuba ufuna ukuyithatha le ndebe kum kodwa ayisiyonto yam kodwa mayenziwe intando yakho". Xa ndithanda olu hlobo lomthandazo. Ndiyayithanda kakhulu kuba ndisoloko ndifuna ukulunga komphefumlo kwaye abo bafuna intando yam bafuna yonke into kuba ndibanceda konke ukulunga ngokomoya kunye nokukhula.
Rhoqo uyandithandaza kodwa ke uyabona ukuba andikuva kwaye uyema. Kodwa uyawazi amaxesha am? Uyazi ngamanye amaxesha nokuba undicelile ubabalo ndiyazi ukuba awukakulungeli ukulufumana ke ndiye ndilinde de ukhule ebomini kwaye ukulungele ukuyifumana le nto uyifunayo. Kwaye ukuba ngekhe andimameli kuwe isizathu kukuba ucele into ebuhlungu ebomini bakho kwaye awusiqondi kodwa njengomntwana onenkani uphelelwe lithemba.
Ungaze ulibale ukuba ndikuthanda kakhulu. Ke ukuba xa uthandaza kum ndihlala ndikulindile okanye andimameli, ndisoloko ndikwenzela oko. Andikho mbi kodwa ndingenasiphelo, ndilungele ukukunika zonke izigaba eziyimfuneko ebomini bakho bokomoya nangokwenyama.
Imithandazo yakho ayinakuze iphoswe. Xa uthandaza umphefumlo wakho uzithululela ngaphandle kobabalo kunye nokukhanya kwaye ukhanya kweli lizwe njengeenkwenkwezi ezikhanya ebusuku. Kwaye ukuba ngamathuba andisoloko ndikunikezela ngenxa yakho ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kukunika ngaphezulu kodwa andiyi kuhlala ndingashukumi, ndihlala ndikulungele ukukunika yonke into. Ndiyakuthanda kwaye ndiza kukwenzela yonke into. Andinguye umyili wakho? Andimthumanga unyana wam ukuba azokufela emnqamlezweni? Unyana wam khange aphalaze igazi lakhe ngenxa yakho? Ungoyiki ukuba ndingusomandla kwaye ndingenza yonke into kwaye ukuba into ondibuza yona iyahambelana nentando yam ke qiniseka ukuba ndiyakunika.
