“Masinyane, thatha ingubo enhle kunazo zonke umgqokise; wafaka indandatho emunweni wakhe nezimbadada ezinyaweni zakhe. Thatha ithole elinonile futhi ulihlabe. Ngakho-ke asigubhe nephathi, ngoba le ndodana yami ibifile futhi isiphilile; yayilahlekile yatholakala. ”Wabe uqala umcimbi. ULuka 15: 22–24
Kule ndaba yomndeni weNdodana elahlekile, sibona isibindi endodaneni ekhetha ukubuyela kuyise. Futhi lokhu kubalulekile noma ngabe indodana ibuyile ikakhulu ngenxa yesidingo sokuphelelwa yithemba. Yebo, uvuma amaphutha akhe ngokuthobeka futhi acele uyise ukuba amxolele futhi amphathe njengomunye wabasebenzi bakhe. Kepha kubuyile! Umbuzo okufanele uphendulwe uthi "Kungani?"
Kuliqiniso ukusho ukuthi indodana yaphindela kuyise, okokuqala, ngoba yayazi enhliziyweni yakhe ukulunga kukayise. Ubaba wayengubaba omuhle. Wayekhombisile ukuyithanda nokumkhathalela indodana yakhe impilo yakhe yonke. Futhi noma ngabe indodana yenqaba ubaba, akuguquki iqiniso lokuthi indodana yayihlala yazi ukuthi iyathandwa yiyo. Mhlawumbe ubengazi nokuthi ufeze malini. Kepha kwakuwukuqonda lokhu enhliziyweni yakhe okwamnika isibindi sokubuyela kuyise ngethemba othandweni lukayise olungapheli.
Lokhu kuveza ukuthi uthando lweqiniso lusebenza njalo. Kuyasebenza ngaso sonke isikhathi. Noma umuntu elahla uthando olungcwele esilunikeza, luhlala lunethonya kubona. Uthando lweqiniso olungenamkhawulo kunzima ukungalunaki futhi kunzima ukulufulathela. Indodana isifezile lesi sifundo futhi nathi kufanele.
Chitha isikhathi uzindla ngokuzinikela enhliziyweni kababa. Kufanele sicabangisise ngobuhlungu obekumele abuzwe, kepha futhi ubheke ethembeni elihlala njalo abenalo njengoba ayelindele ukubuya kwendodana yakhe. Kufanele sicabange ngenjabulo egcwele enhliziyweni yakhe lapho ibona indodana yakhe ibuya kude. Wagijimela kuye, wamyalela ukuthi azinakekele futhi waphonsa iphathi. Lezi zinto zonke ziyizimpawu zothando ezingeke zitholakale.
Uthando lolu uBaba waseZulwini analo ngomunye wethu. Akayena uNkulunkulu othukuthele noma onokhahlo. UnguNkulunkulu ofisa ukusibuyisa futhi sibuyisane nathi.
