Konke Kumayelana nokuthi Ubani Okwaziyo
Kungenzeka yini ukuthi siguqule isimo sethu sengqondo, akufanele nje sibone impilo ngendlela ehlukile, kodwa impilo ngokwayo izohluka. —Ngu-Katherine Mansfield
Ngenza i-chapel ye-Milwaukee Brewers eminyakeni eminingi edlule. Kwakuyinto enkulu. Lapho ngangihlala khona, abase-Brewers babengonkulunkulu belulwane, bebhola, nedayimane. Wonke umuntu ozinikele eWisconsin wayezibukela kumabonakude. Labo ababekwazi ukuthenga amathikithi babezothatha uhambo lokuya e-County Stadium. kodwa ukungena endlini yabadlali? Leyo ‘kwakuyindawo engcwele’—indlu engcwele engaphakathi yethempeli lapho okungekho muntu nje owayengacabanga ukuya khona.
Ngibe “nokungena,” nokho. U-Paul Molitor wayengukapteni weqembu, futhi ngenxa yokuthi ngangimazi, ngamukelekile egunjini. Ngize ngavunyelwa ukukhuluma nabadlali ubuso nobuso. Ngahlanganyela imfundiso yeBhayibheli nalo lonke iqembu, futhi balalela… konke lokhu kungenxa kaPaul. UNgiphakamisele kwelinye izinga emehlweni alaba basubathi abamangalisayo. Babezimisele ukungilalela ngenxa yobudlelwane bami naye.
Izinto zasebenza ngokufanayo ngoNkulunkulu nama-Israyeli:
UMose wathi kuye: “Umuntu uzokwazi kanjani ukuthi uyathokoza ngami nakubantu bakho ngaphandle kokuba uhambe nathi, yini enye engahlukanisa mina nabantu bakho kubo bonke abanye abantu abasebusweni bomhlaba na?” (Eksodusi 33:16)
UNkulunkulu uBaba usenzela okufanayo. Ukuba khona kwakhe ezimpilweni zethu kusenza sihluke kwabanye. Uyasihlukanisa. Njengezingane Zakhe, sishintshile ngokomoya futhi sihlukile kulo mhlaba… futhi lokho kwenza umyalezo wethu ngeMpilo yeqiniso kuKristu ukhange kulabo abafuna iqiniso nenjongo.
Baba, ngiyakhuleka ukuba uphakamise indlela yami yokuphila ukuze ngibonakale ngehlukile ezweni. Mangibe yisibonelo sokuthi impilo injani kuwe ukuze nabanye bazi ukulunga Kwakho . 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.
