Ukubekezela KukaBaba Okuphelele

Nkosi, ngiphe ukubekezela, ungiphe MANJE! —Akaziwa

Uyakhumbula lapho ngithi abantu bavame ukwakha umbono wabo ngoNkulunkulu ngokusekelwe kulokho okhokho babo basemhlabeni ababeyikho? Nakuba abaningi bethu banobaba abakhulu, abanothando, abanye abantu banobaba ohlale ethukuthelele umndeni wakhe. Mhlawumbe ukhiphela ukucindezeleka okuvela kwezinye izingxenye zokuphila kwakhe emthonjeni oseduze nonamandla angazweli. Noma mhlawumbe ubamba abantu abaseduze kakhulu naye ezindinganisweni eziphakeme ngendlela ehlekisayo futhi aphendule ngokungenangqondo lapho kungahlangatshezwana nakho. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuvelaphi, obaba abathukuthele bangenza abantu bacabange ukuthi uNkulunkulu uBaba ufana noyise—uthukuthelele wonke umuntu nakho konke. Lokho akulungile kuphela kodwa kuyaphikisana nalokho iBhayibheli elisitshela kona!

UNkulunkulu wazembula kuMose njengoBaba “ophuza ukuthukuthela…” (Eksodusi 34:6). Futhi uDavide wahlabelela ngoBaba ngamazwi anjengalawa:

UJehova unobubele, unomusa, wephuza ukuthukuthela, ugcwele uthando... Njengoyise ehawukela abantwana bakhe, kanjalo uJehova uhawukela abamesabayo; ngoba yena uyakwazi ukubunjwa kwethu, uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli. (AmaHubo 103:8, 13-14)

UNkulunkulu uBaba uyabekezela.

Ngifunda lokhu kabuhlungu. Ngenze ukuqeqeshwa kwe-basketball phakathi neminyaka. Emuva lapho indodana yami uLiam isengumfana omncane esikoleni samabanga aphansi, ineminyaka yokufunda ngaphambi kwayo, (ngokuphoxa) ngangilindele ukuthi ibe lapho ngangikhona lapho ngidlala ekolishi! Ngangibona ayekwenza, ngilindele okunye, ngibhekane naye ngolimi “lomqeqeshi”, ngibone amehlo akhe echiphiza izinyembezi. Oh, yeka indlela ngezinye izikhathi engifisa ngayo ukuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uqeqesha lelo qembu hhayi mina! Ngangingenasineke ngaye, ngilindele ukuthi abe yilokho ayoba yikho namuhla.

UNkulunkulu uyabazi ubuthakathaka bethu. Uyazi ukuthi senziwe kanjani, futhi uyasixolela lapho abanye bengase basinqume. Ngokumangalisayo, usibona njengoba “sikuKristu” futhi wazi kahle ukuthi wasibumba ukuthi sibe ngobani. Uyayibona inqubo yokukhula futhi uyasibekezelela njengoba siqhubeka sihamba endleleni. Angazi ngawe, kodwa ngijabula kakhulu ngokuba noBaba onjalo!

Baba, ukubekezela kwakho kude, kujulile, nothando. Angisifanele isenzo esinjalo sokunakekelwa, ngakho-ke ngiyabonga ngokunginakekela ngokwanele ukuba wenze kanjalo kimi. Ngiyakukhulekela lokhu kubekezela kukhonjiswe empilweni yami njengoba ngixhumana nabanye ukuze babone okwenzile kimi! Ameni.
