Amandla omkhuleko nobuso obutholakala ngalo
Ukukukhombisa amandla omthandazo kanye nomusa okukhipha ezulwini, ngizokutshela ukuthi kungomkhuleko kuphela lapho bonke abalungile babe nenhlanhla yokuphikelela. Umkhuleko emphefumulweni wethu ufana nemvula emhlabeni. Vundisa umhlaba ngokuthanda kwakho, uma imvula ingekho, konke okwenzayo ngeke kusebenze. Ngakho, yenzani imisebenzi emihle ngokuthanda kwakho, uma ungakhuleki njalo nangendlela efanele, awusoze wasinda; ngoba umthandazo uvula amehlo omphefumulo wethu, uwenze uzizwe ubukhulu bosizi lwawo, isidingo sokusabela kuNkulunkulu; kumenza esabe ubuthakathaka bakhe.
UmKristu ubala konke kuNkulunkulu kuphela, futhi akukho lutho kuye. Yebo, kungomthandazo ukuthi bonke abalungile baye baphikelela. Phela, thina ngokwethu siyaqaphela ukuthi lapho nje singayinaki imithandazo yethu, silahlekelwa ngokushesha ukunambitheka kwezinto zasezulwini: sicabanga ngomhlaba kuphela; futhi uma siwuqala kabusha umthandazo, sizwa umcabango nesifiso sezinto zasezulwini kuzalwa kabusha kithi. Yebo, uma siba nenhlanhla yokuba semseni kaNkulunkulu, siyoba nokusabela emthandazweni, noma siyoba nesiqiniseko sokungabekezeleli isikhathi eside endleleni yezulu.
Okwesibili, sithi zonke izoni, ngaphandle kwesimangaliso esingavamile esenzeka ngokungavamile, zikweleta ukuguqulwa kwazo kuphela ngomkhuleko. Uyabona uMonica oNgcwele, ukuthi wenzani ukuze acele ukuguqulwa kwendodana yakhe: manje usezansi kwesiphambano sakhe ethandaza futhi ekhala; manje itholakala nabantu abahlakaniphile, becela usizo lwemithandazo yabo. Bheka kuSaint Augustine uqobo lwakhe, lapho esefuna ngempela ukuguqula... Yebo, nakuba sasiyizoni, uma singasabela emthandazweni futhi uma sikhuleka ngendlela efanele, besiyoba nesiqiniseko sokuthi iNkosi enhle izosithethelela.
Ah!, bazalwane bami, masingamangali ngokuthi usathane wenza konke angakwenza ukuze singayinaki imithandazo yethu, asenze siyisho kabi; ukuthi uqonda kangcono kakhulu kunathi ukuthi umthandazo osabekayo usesihogweni, nokuthi akunakwenzeka ukuthi iNkosi enhle ikwazi ukwenqaba lokho esikucela kuye ngomthandazo…
Akuyona imikhuleko emide nenhle uJehova ayibhekile, kodwa eyenziwa ngokusuka ekujuleni kwenhliziyo, ngenkulu inhlonipho nangesifiso seqiniso sokujabulisa uNkulunkulu, nasi isibonelo esihle. Kubikwa ekuphileni kukaSt. Bonaventure, udokotela omkhulu weBandla, ukuthi inkolo elula kakhulu yathi kuye: “Baba, mina engingafundanga, ucabanga ukuthi ngingathandaza eNkosini enhle futhi ngiyithande? ".
U-St. Bonaventure uthi kuye: «Awu, mngane, ngokuyinhloko yilawa iNkosi enhle ethanda kakhulu futhi ejabulisa kakhulu kuye». Lesi sigodlo esihle esingokwenkolo, sikhexiswe yizindaba ezinhle ezinjalo, siyahamba futhi sima emnyango wendlu yezindela, sithi kuwo wonke umuntu ambona edlula: “Wozani, bangane, nginezindaba ezinhle kini; UDokotela Bonaventura wangitshela ukuthi thina abanye, ngisho noma singenalwazi, singayithanda iNkosi enhle njengabafundile. Yeka injabulo kithina ngokukwazi ukuthanda iNkosi enhle futhi siyijabulise, singazi lutho!».
Kusukela kulokhu, ngizokutshela ukuthi akukho lutho olulula kunokuthandaza eNkosini enhle, nokuthi akukho okunye okududuzayo.
Sithi umkhuleko uwukuphakanyiswa kwenhliziyo yethu kuNkulunkulu.Okungcono, yingxoxo emnandi yomntwana noyise, ngendaba nenkosi yakhe, neyenceku nenkosi yayo, yomngane nomngane wayo, obeka inhliziyo yakhe usizi nosizi.
