Uyihlo Ongaguquki Uthembekile
Uthando lwakho alusoze lwaphela,
Alupheli amandla,
Alupheli kimi. —“Kusele Into Eyodwa” by nge-Jesus Culture
Obaba bangaba abantu abamatasa. Ngokuvamile banemisebenzi edinga konke ukunakekela kwabo, amandla, nesikhathi. Kwesinye isikhathi bazenzela isikhathi sokuzilibazisa, igalofu, kanye nokuzita ngempelasonto kanobhutshuzwayo ku-TV… beshiya ezinye izingxenye zempilo yabo (njengezingane zabo) zinganakiwe futhi zikhohliwe.
UNkulunkulu akagcini nje ngokuba nezigidigidi zabantu azosebenzisana nabo, kodwa futhi unomhlaba wonke angadlala ngawo. Kungenzeka ukuthi ukusebenza kwangaphakathi kwesimiso sonozungezilanga kuthakazelisa kakhulu kunanoma yini esinayo ukuze kudonse ukunaka kukaNkulunkulu! Nokho, iBhayibheli lisitshelani ngesimo sengqondo sikaNkulunkulu ngathi?
“UJehova, uJehova, uNkulunkulu onesihe nomusa,ophuza ukuthukuthela, ogcwele uthando nokuthembeka; ogcinela abayizinkulungwane uthando, othethelela ububi, nokuhlubuka, nezono.” (Eksodusi 34:6-7)
Ngoba uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu, akachezuki; Akaphazamiseki; Akadinwa. Unakho konke Akudingayo njengamanje. Akanaso nhlobo isizathu sokukushiya, noma ukukulahla, noma ukuya kwenye indawo.
Uthembekile.
Manje, ubaba uyindoda ethembekile. Eqinisweni, ngiyazi ukuthi ngizothini ngaye emngcwabeni wakhe: “Wayethembekile kuMsindisi wakhe, kumlobokazi wakhe, nasobizweni lwakhe. Saba nenhlanhla yokuba naleso sibonelo sokwethembeka emndenini wethu.” Kodwa uma kuqhathaniswa noNkulunkulu, ukwethembeka kukababa kuyinto encane. UNkulunkulu akaguquki, akalokothi anyikinye, futhi akafulatheli.
Lapho sikholelwa ekukholweni Kwakhe, ukuthula, kanye nokukhululeka kwehlela emiphefumulweni yethu enovalo. Akayi ndawo; Uyozigcina izithembiso zaKhe; futhi Uyolandela izimemezelo Zakhe. Lokhu kwenza ukholo lwethu luhambe kokubili kungenzeka futhi kube okunengqondo.
Baba, ngiyabonga ngokwethembeka kwakho okumangalisayo, ngokuba uhlala njalo empilweni yami, ebuhleni nasebubini. Ngiyakhuleka ukuthi ungisize ngibeke enhliziyweni isithembiso sobukhona Bakho futhi ungisize ngisikhumbule ngesikhathi ngisidinga kakhulu. Ameni.
UmBhalo
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Safundiswa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguBaba wethu futhi singabantwana Bakhe. Kodwa ukuhlobana noNkulunkulu njengoBaba akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi—ikakhulukazi uma obaba bethu basemhlabeni bezabalaza ukukhombisa uthando ebesilulangazelela. Kulolu cwaningo lwezinsuku ezingu-16, uPete Briscoe udonsela ukunaka kwethu kuNkulunkulu owenelisa konke ukulangazelela kwethu uthando—egqamisa indlela umBhalo uwembula ngayo ukuthi unguBaba wethu olungileyo nophelele.
