Thola i AppSonke Isinyathelo SokufikaIsampula
Ikhono Lomphefumulo
Uma kwenzeka into esingakwazi ukuyichaza, sithi lokho kuyisimangaliso. Ngaphansi kwalelo hlelo lwezincazelo, izinto eziningi ezenziwa yizangoma zingaba isimangaliso kimi, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi nona zibukeka zinhle kodwa azisona. Isimangaliso, ngokwesiko leBhayibheli, akukhona lokho esingakuqondi kodwa lokho okwenziwa kithi esingakwazi ukuzenzela thina. Isimangaliso siyasebenza. Yilokho uNkulunkulu asenzela kona noma asenzela kona ngabanye abantu esingeke sikwazi ukukwenza thina.
Kungenzeka ukuthi ungakuqonda, kodwa noma ngabe ukuzwile, lokho ngeke kukwenze kuyeke ukuba isimangaliso. Igama alisho lokho okungaphezu kokuqonda kwethu kodwa lisho lokho okungaphezu kwamandla ethu. Ngakho ngaleyondlela ngingakwazi, uma ngiphuma ekuseni futhi ngibona ilanga liphuma emkhathini, ngithi, “Leso yisimangaliso.” Futhi ngizobe ngiqinisile ngokwebhayibheli. Njalo ekuseni kuyisimangaliso.
Uwagxilisa kanjani amehlo akho ukuze ubone isimangaliso sosuku ngalunye? Uziqeqeshela kanjani kuleso siyalo esingabai-racket ye-cacophonous yomhlaba ukuze uzwe umlolozelo wengelosi icula inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu phezulu?

Ungadukiswa umntwana osemkhombeni. Wayengumntwana, kodwa ungowomndeni kaMose umprofethi futhi ukhuluma nawe namuhla. Usho into emiselwe ukubusa ukuphila kwakho, ukukuholela endleleni entsha yokuphila, into engavukuza impendulo enezilinganiso zaphakade kuyo. Uthi uyathandwa nguNkulunkulu, wamukelwe nguNkulunkulu, ukuthi ukuphila kwakho kunencazelo nesiphetho saphakade.
Ngiyakuzwa yini ukuthi usuke wakuzwa konke lokho ngaphambilini? Cha, lelo igama elisha eliphunduzayo, elivuselelayo, elihle. Uma usuzwile lokho, ngeke uphinde uzwe lutho oludala. Konke kuzoba kusha. Yilolo hlobo lwento ehlala izwakala iyintsha njalo uma izwakala.
Iyiphi into eyodwa ongayenza namuhla ukuze uvumele inhliziyo nengqondo yakho nezimangaliso zobukhona bukaNkulunkulu empilweni yakho?
