Bangifuna nsuku zonke, balangazelela ukwazi izindlela zami, njengabantu abenza ubulungisa futhi abangashiyanga ilungelo likaNkulunkulu wabo; bangibuza izahlulelo ezinobulungiswa, balangazelela ukusondela kukaNkulunkulu: “Kungani uzila ukudla, uma ungakuboni, usibulale, uma ungazi?”.

Akukhona yini lokhu ukuzila engikufunayo: ukukhulula amaketanga angalungile, ukususa izibopho zejoka, ukuthumela abacindezelwe mahhala nokugqashula wonke amajoka? Ngabe akuhlanganisi ukwaba isinkwa nabalambile, ukuletha abampofu, abangenamakhaya endlini, ukugqoka umuntu ombona enqunu, ngaphandle kokuziba izihlobo zakho? Lapho-ke ukukhanya kwakho kuzokhanya njengokuntwela kokusa, isilonda sakho sizophola ngokushesha. Ukulunga kwakho kuzohamba phambi kwakho, inkazimulo yeNkosi izokulandela. Ngemuva kwalokho uzonxusa futhi iNkosi izokuphendula, uzocela usizo bese yona ithi: “Nangu mina!” ».
