Lapho unobunzima bokuthanda izitha zakho, thandaza lo mkhuleko



UNkulunkulu angakusiza uthambise inhliziyo yakho, ikakhulukazi uma imizwa yakho ingashiyi indawo yokupha.

UJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: "Ngithi kini: Ngiyazithanda izitha zenu futhi ngithandazela labo abanishushisayo" (uMathewu 5:44). Kwabaningi imfundiso enzima lena, okungelula ukuyifaka empilweni yethu, ikakhulukazi uma imizwa yethu iqinile.

Kodwa-ke, njengamaKristu, sibizelwe ukulingisa isibonelo sikaJesu, owathethelela nalabo abambulala.

Nanku umthandazo ohunyushwe encwadini yangekhulu le-19 Ukhiye wezulu ongasiza ukuthambisa izinhliziyo zethu kancane, uthandazela "izitha" zethu, ucele uNkulunkulu ukuba awabusise futhi abonise isihawu sakhe.

O Nkulunkulu, othanda ukuthula nokulondolozwa kokupha, nikeza ukuthula nothando lwangempela kuzo zonke izitha zethu. Faka uthando ezinhlizweni zethu uthando olungenakufinyeleleka lomusa wakho: ukuthi izifiso esizikhipha ngokuphefumlelwa kwakho okungcwele zungeze zashintsha. Ikakhulu, ubheke ngomusa (lapha kusuka emagameni uye kulabo obathandazelayo), esibanxusa isihe sakho futhi sibanikeze impilo yengqondo nomzimba, ukuze bakwazi ukukuthanda ngamandla abo onke. Amen.
