Ithemba ngokuchasene nethemba lonke
NdinguThixo wakho, uthando oluninzi, inceba, uxolo kunye namandla onke angenasiphelo. Ndilapha ukuxelela ukuba awuzukuphelelwa lithemba. Kufuneka unethemba ngokuchasene nethemba lonke. Ngaba zininzi izinto ezimbi ezikhathaza? Ngaba uyoyika imeko yakho yezoqoqosho? Ngaba impilo yakho inqabile? Ungoyiki ukuba ndinawe, ndinguyihlo kwaye ndifuna impilo yakho ibe ntle. Ndima ecaleni kwakho ndikuncedise. Unyana wam u-Yesu wacaca xa esithi "hayi noongqatyana alibaleka phambi koThixo". Ndikunye nawe kwaye ndifuna ukukhululwa kwakho, ukuphulukana kwakho, ndifuna ukuba uphile ubomi bakho ngokupheleleyo.
Ndifuna ukuba uthathe inyathelo lokuqala kum. Awunakulindela ukuba ndikwenzele yonke into xa ungashukumi umnwe ebomini bakho, ukuba awuthandazi kum. NdinguThixo onamandla onke kwaye ndingenza yonke into kodwa ndifuna ukuba nisebenzisane kwiprojekthi yam yobomi nosindiso endinalo ngenxa yenu. Landela ukhuthazo lwam, yenza konke onako, ugcine imiyalelo yam kwaye ndiza kukwenzela yonke into, ndiyanceda wena, ndenza imimangaliso ebomini bakho.
Uninzi luthetha "ongendawo, nokuba ichasene noThixo, bubutyebi." Kodwa awunyanzelekanga ukuba ucinge ngolo hlobo. Nokuba ongendawo angayilandeli imithetho yam, ungunyana wam, ndilindele ukubuya kwakhe. Ndibasikelele bonke abantwana bam. Kodwa ngelishwa kulomhlaba okwathethwa ngunyana wam u-Yesu "abantwana beli lizwe banobuqili ngakumbi kunokuba abantwana bokukhanya" kwenzeka. Ndilandele ndingutata wakho kwaye andizukulahla, ndisoloko ndikuwe kwaye ndiyakuthanda ngenceba enkulu nenceba.
Ithemba ngokuchasene nethemba lonke. Ithemba luphawu oluqinileyo, umbala ongoyikiyo kwaye ongoyikiyo ububi kodwa ukholelwe kum kwaye uyandithanda. Bayandithemba, bayandithandaza, bayandicenga, bayazi ukuba andilahli mntu kwaye bafuna mna ngentliziyo yam yonke. Indlela endibenza buhlungu ngayo abo bantwana baphelelwe lithemba. Kukho amadoda ahamba ebuhlungu ebusweni bokuphelelwa lithemba, azibulale, kodwa akufuneki wenze le nto. Rhoqo nokuba ebomini uyabona kuphela ukuphelelwa lithemba ndingangenelela ngalo lonke ixesha nditshintshe ubukho bakho bonke.
Ungaze uphelelwe lithemba. Soloko ufuna ithemba. Ithemba sisipho esiza kum. Ukuba uhlala kude nam awunakuthembela kodwa uyalahleka ekuqiqeni kwakho kwaye awukwazi ukuqhubeka, akunakuphinda wenze enye into. Ungoyiki, kufuneka ukholelwe kum ukuba ndingutata olungileyo, osisityebi ngenceba kwaye ukulungele ukungenelela ebomini bakho kwaye akuxhase. Kuya kufuneka undijonge, ndisondele kuwe, ngaphakathi kuwe, entliziyweni yakho. Ndikugubungela ngesithunzi sam.
Ithemba ngokuchasene nethemba lonke. Nditsho nootata bokholo, imiphefumlo endiyithandayo kunye nonyana wam uYesu bahlangabezana namaxesha obunzima, kodwa ndangenelela, ngokuqinisekileyo kumaxesha am amisiweyo kodwa nangona kunjalo andizange ndibashiye. Ndenza njalo nam. Ukuba uyabona ukuba uyandithandaza kwaye andikuniki isizathu sokuba ungakulungelanga ukufumana ubabalo olunqwenelekayo. Mna ndingusomandla kwaye ndiyazi yonke into ngawe ndiyazi xa sele ukulungele ukuyifumana le nto uyicelayo. Kwaye ukuba ngamanye amaxesha ndikwenza ulinde, kukwazisa ubungqina bokholo lwakho. Imiphefumlo yam ethandekayo kufuneka izanywe elukholweni njengoko umpostile wathi "ukholo lwakho luya kuvavanywa njengegolide ekubethelelweni". Ndiva ukholo lwakho kwaye ndifuna ukukufumana ugqibelele.
Uhlala unethemba. Hlala uthembele kuThixo wakho, kutata wakho osezulwini. Kobu bomi kufuneka ube namava amaninzi, nokuba ayintlungu, ukuze uqonde intsingiselo yobomi uqobo. Ubomi abuthatheli mna ndikhona kulomhlaba, kodwa xa umzimba wakho uphela uyokuza kum kwaye ndifuna ukukufumana ugqibelele eluthandweni, ndifuna ukukufumana ugqibelele elukholweni.
Kobu bomi unethemba ngokuchasene nethemba lonke. Nokuba lelona xesha lobumnyama alize liphelelwe lithemba. Ndihlala ndisecaleni kwakho kwaye xa ungayilindelanga kakhulu, ngexesha elimiselweyo, ndiya kungenelela kwaye ndikwenzele konke, sithandwa sam.
