Ukucamngca kwanamhlanje: Yazi isidima sakho
INkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, ezelwe eyindoda yokwenyani, engayeki ukuba nguThixo wenene, waqala kuyo, indalo entsha, kwaye, ngokuzalwa oku, wanxibelelana nomgaqo womoya eluntwini. Yeyiphi ingqondo enokuyiqonda le mfihlakalo, okanye loluphi ulwimi olunokuthi lubonakalise olu lubabalo? Ubuntu obunesono buphinda buzuze ubumsulwa, uluntu oludala lwenziwe ububi luzuze ubomi obutsha; abasemzini bafumana ukwamkelwa kwabanye abantu kwaye abasemzini bathabatha ilifa.
Vuka, ndoda, kwaye uyihloniphe indalo yakho! Khumbula ukuba wadalwa ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo; ukuze, ukuba olu hlobo lufezeke kuAdam, lwabuyiselwa kuKristu. Kwizidalwa ezibonakalayo, zincede ngendlela efanelekileyo, njengoko usebenzisa umhlaba, ulwandle, isibhakabhaka, umoya, imithombo, imilambo. Intle kwaye imangalisa kanjani into oyifumana kubo, yikhokelele kwindumiso nakuzuko loMdali.
Ngengqondo yomzimba yokubona uyakwamkela ukukhanya kwezinto eziphathekayo, kodwa kwangaxeshanye ukwamkele, ngovuyo lwentliziyo yakho, olo khanyiso lwenene lukhanyisela wonke umntu oza kweli hlabathi (jn 1: 9). Ngokukhanya oku umprofeti uthi: "Mjonge kwaye uya kukhazimla, ubuso bakho abuyi kubhideka" (Nd 33: 6). Ngapha koko, ukuba siyitempile kaThixo kwaye uMoya kaThixo uhlala kuthi, into ephethwe likholwa ngalinye entliziyweni yakhe ixabiseke ngaphezulu kunoko anokukubona ezulwini.
Asifuni ngale nto, zihlobo ezithandekayo, ukuba sikukhuthaze okanye sikucenge ukuba uyidele imisebenzi kaThixo, okanye ubone nantoni na echasene nokholo lwakho kwizinto uThixo wokulunga azenzileyo zilungile, kodwa sifuna ukukukhuthaza, ukuze uyazi ukuba ungazisebenzisa njani zonke izidalwa kwaye bonke ubuhle beli hlabathi ngendlela enobulumko nelungeleleneyo. Ngapha koko, njengoko uMpostile esitsho: "Izinto ezibonakalayo zezomzuzwana, ezingabonakaliyo zezonaphakade" (2 Kor 4: 18).
Ke ngoko, kuba sizalelwe obu bomi bukhoyo ngoku, kodwa emva koko sizalelwa ixesha elizayo, akufuneki sonke sizinikele kwimpahla yokwexeshana, kodwa silwele iimpahla ezingunaphakade. Ewe, ukuze siqwalasele ngokusondele ngakumbi into esinethemba layo, makhe siqwalasele malunga noko ubabalo lukaThixo lusinike kona kwindalo yethu. Makhe simamele uMpostile, osixelela ukuba: «Ngokwenene ufile kwaye ubomi bakho ngoku bufihlwe kuKristu kuThixo! Xa uKrestu, obubomi benu, eza kuzibonakalisa, nani ke niyakubonakaliswa kunye naye ebuqaqawulini. Amen.
