Konke kunesikhathi sakho,
yonke indaba inomzuzu wayo
phansi komthunzi welanga.
Kukhona isikhathi sokuzalwa
nesikhathi sokufa;
isikhathi sokutshala,
nesikhathi sokusiphula okutshaliweyo;
isikhathi sokubulala,
nesikhathi sokuphilisa;
isikhathi sokubhidliza,
nesikhathi sokwakha;
isikhathi sokukhala,
nesikhathi sokuhleka;
isikhathi sokulila,
nesikhathi sokusina;
isikhathi sokusakaza amatshe,
nesikhathi sokuwaqoqa;
isikhathi sokugona,
nesikhathi sokuchiliza;
isikhathi sokufuna,
nesikhathi sokulahlekelwa;
isikhathi sokulondoloza,

Uzuzani osebenzayo ngomshikashika wakhe na? Ngiwubonile umshikashika uNkulunkulu awunike abantu ukuba babe matasatasa ngawo. Konke ukwenze kwafanela isikhathi sakho, ngaphezu kwalokho wabeka ukulangazelela iphakade ezinhliziyweni zabantu, kodwa abakwazi ukuyazi imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo kuze kube sekugcineni kwayo. Ngiyazi ukuthi akukho okuhle kubo kunokuthokoza nokuzithokozisa, inqobo nje uma besaphila, futhi kuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, asipha umuntu ukuba wonke umuntu adle, aphuze, athokozele wonke umshikashika wakhe. Ngiyazi ukuthi noma yini uNkulunkulu ayenzayo imi kuze kube phakade; akukho okungenezelwa kuyo, nokungasuswa kuyo; uNkulunkulu lokhu ukwenzele ukuba abantu bamesabe. Lokhu okukhona, sekwake kwaba khona, nalokho okusazoba khona, sekuvele kukhona. UNkulunkulu uyakufuna osekwake kwenzeka.
Phezu kwalokho ngabona ukuthi phansi komthunzi welanga, esikhundleni sobulungiswa, kunenkohlakalo; esikhundleni sobuqotho, kunobubi. Ngathi enhliziyweni yami:
“UNkulunkulu uzobehlulela
abaqotho nezikhohlakali,
ngokuba yonke indaba
nomsebenzi kubekelwe
isikhathi sakho.”
Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “Maqondana nabantu, uNkulunkulu uyabavivinya ukuze bazibonele ukuthi banjengezilwane. Ngokuba okuvelela abantu kuyafana nokwehlela izilwane; njengoba umuntu efa, kanjalo nesilwane siyafa. Konke kunomoya ofanayo, umuntu akazedluli izilwane, ngokuba konke kuyize. Konke kuya endaweni eyodwa; konke kuvela othulini, konke kubuyela othulini. Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi umoya womuntu uyenyuka kuthi owesilwane wehlele emhlabeni na?”
Ngakho-ke ngabona ukuthi akukho okungcono kunokuba umuntu athokoze ngomsebenzi wakhe, ngokuba lokho kuyisabelo sakhe; ngubani ongamenza abone okuyakwenzeka nxa esefile na?
