Umthandazo kuwe
NdinguThixo wakho, ubawo onothando lozuko olukhulu nenceba engenasiphelo. Kule ncoko ndifuna ukunika umthandazo ukuba ukuba wenziwa ngentliziyo unokwenza imimangaliso. Ndiwuthanda kakhulu umthandazo wabantwana bam, kodwa ndifuna ukuba bathandaze ngentliziyo iphela, kunye nabo bonke. Ndiyawuthanda umthandazo we-litanic. Ukuphindaphinda kuhlala kukhokelela ekuphazamiseni, kodwa xa uthandazayo uyeka iingxaki zakho, ukukhathazeka kwakho. Ndiyabazi ubomi bakho bonke kwaye ndiyazi ngayo "uyayifuna nangaphambi kokuba undibuze". Uxinzelelo emthandazweni alukhokelela kwinto ngaphandle kokuwenza kuphela umthandazo ongenazintsholongwane. Xa uthandaza musa ukuba nemincili kodwa mna ndinenceba ndimamele umthandazo wakho kwaye ndiyakuphendula.
Thandaza ke ", Yesu nyana kaDavide, ndibabale." Lo mthandazo wenziwa kunyana wam ngula mntu wayengaboniyo waseJeriko kwaye waphendulwa kwangoko. Unyana wam wambuza lo mbuzo "ucinga ukuba ndingayenza lento?" kwaye wayenokholo kunyana wam waphiliswa. Nawe kufuneka uyenze. Kufuneka uqiniseke ukuba unyana wam unokuphilisa, akhulule kwaye akunike yonke into oyifunayo. Ndifuna ukuba ujike iingcinga zakho kwizinto zasemhlabeni, uzibeke ethuleni komphefumlo wakho uphinde umthandazo lo "Yesu nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba" amaxesha amaninzi. Lo mthandazo ushukumisa intliziyo yonyana wam kunye neyam kwaye siya kukwenzela yonke into. Kufuneka uthandaze ngentliziyo yakho, nangokholo oluninzi kwaye uya kubona ukuba ezona meko zininzi zobomi bakho ziya kusonjululwa.
Ke ndifuna ukuba nawe uthandaze "UYesu undikhumbule xa uthe wangena ebukumkanini bakho". Lo mthandazo wenziwe lisela elihle emnqamlezweni kwaye unyana wam wamamkela kwangoko ebukumkanini bakhe. Nangona izono zakhe zazininzi, unyana wam wayenobubele ngesela elilungileyo. Isenzo sakhe sokholo ku-nyana wam, kunye nalo mthandazo umfutshane, wamkhulula kwangoko kuzo zonke iziphoso zakhe kwaye nasezulwini wanikwa yena. Ndifuna nawe uyenze le nto. Ndifuna ukuba uzibone zonke iziphoso zakho kwaye ubone kum ubawo onenceba elungele ukwamkela wonke umntwana oguqukayo ngentliziyo yakhe yonke. Lo mthandazo umfutshane uvula amasango eZulu, ucime zonke izono, ukhulule onke amakhonkco kwaye uwenze umphefumlo wakho ucoceke kwaye ukhanyise.
Ndifuna ukuba uthandaze ngentliziyo iphela. Andifuni ukuba umthandazo wakho ube luchungechunge lokuphindaphinda, kodwa ndifuna ukuba xa usenza umthandazo we-litanic intliziyo isondela kum kwaye mna ndingutata olungileyo kwaye ndiyazi imeko yakho yonke ndingenelela kumandla onke ndikwenzela yonke into. Ukuthandazela wena kufuneka ube kukutya komphefumlo, kufuneka kufane nomoya owuphefumlayo. Ngaphandle komthandazo akukho lubabalo kwaye awubeki ithemba lam kum kodwa kuphela kuwe. Ngomthandazo unokwenza izinto ezintle. Andikuceli ukuba uchithe iiyure neeyure uthandaze kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kwanele ukuba unikezele ixesha elincinci kuphela kuwe kwaye uthandaze kum ngentliziyo yam yonke kwaye ndiza kuza kuwe ngephanyazo, ndiza kuba ecaleni kwakho ukumamela izicelo zakho.
Lo ngumthandazo kuwe. Ezi zivakalisi zibini zevangeli ndikutyalele zona kule ncoko ingumthandazo wakho wemihla ngemihla. Ungayenza nangaliphi na ixesha lemini. Xa uvuka kusasa, ngaphambi kokuba ulale, xa uhamba kwaye nangayiphi na imeko. Ke ndiyakuxelela thandaza ku "Bawo wethu". Lo mthandazo wabekwa ngunyana wam u-Yesu wanikwa wena ukuba uqonde ukuba ndinguyihlo kwaye ukuba nonke ningoonyana. Xa uthandaza kuye musa ukungxama kodwa camngca ngamazwi onke. Lo mthandazo ukubonisa indlela eya phambili kunye nento ekufuneka uyenzile.
Othandaza ngentliziyo ulandela ukuthanda kwam. Abo bathandazayo ngentliziyo baphumeze izicwangciso zobomi endizilungiselele wonke umntu. Lowo uthandazayo ugqibezela ubufundisi, abundinike bona, kweli lizwe. Lowo uthandazayo, ngenye imini uya kuza ebukumkanini bam.
