Ukujaha Ukunethezeka
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sicindezelekile, silimele, sikhathele, sinesizungu, noma sinesithukuthezi, sonke ngezinye izikhathi sizithola sijaha ukunethezeka. Ubani ongakachithi ngokweqile, adle ngokweqile, alale kakhulu, adakwe ngokweqile, futhi alinganisele ngokweqile ikhono lezinto ukuze alethe ukunethezeka okuhlala njalo?
Igama elithi "comfort" linomlando walo onzima. Livela ezingxenyeni ezimbili zamagama esiLatini, u-com-, okusho ukuthi “ndawonye,” kanye no-fortis, okusho “okunamandla noma amandla.” Kamuva, igama lesiLatini elithi confortare laqala ukusho “ukuqinisa okuningi.” Ekugcineni, igama lesiFulentshi Esidala, conforter, lwengeza amagama afana ne-"nduduzo" kanye "nosizo" encazelweni. Ngekhulu lika-14, elinye igama lesiFulentshi elithi conforten lalichazwa ngokuthi “ukuthokoza, ukududuza.” Ekugcineni, ngekhulu lika-17, inguqulo yesiNgisi yaleli gama yaqala ukusikisela umqondo wokukhululeka ngokomzimba esiwuqondayo namuhla.
Kungani lokhu kubalulekile? Cishe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane, igama elithi “induduzo” lasuka kwincazelo, “ndawonye-amandla,” lisho “umgoqo wobuhlungu.”
Uyamubona uNkulunkulu njengamandla akho, kanye nawe phakathi kobuhlungu, noma isithiyo sakho ebuhlungwini?
Umprofethi u-Isaya wabikezela ngoMesiya owayezongena emhlabeni wethu ezolinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu futhi ahlupheke ukuze siphiliswe. Uma ubunjalo bokukholwa kwethu kuwukulandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu, ake sicabange ukusabela Kwakhe ebuhlungwini. Ku 1 Petru 2:21-25, sibona uMsindisi owamukela ubuhlungu buthule nakuba engenzanga lutho ukubuzuza. uJesu akabugwemi ubuhlungu noma abheke imbuzi yomhlatshelo; Uza emhlabeni wethu futhi enze ubuhlungu bethu ubuhlungu bakhe.
uJesu unamandla ndawonye. Khona-ke, ngaphambi kokuba abuyele emuva ukuze abe noBaba, Usithembisa ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele—“uMduduzi”—akazukuba kanye nathi kuphela, kodwa kithi! Lokho kuyinto efanele ukujahwa.
Ngakho-ke, masingajahi inguqulo yasemhlabeni yokunethezeka—uchungechunge olugcweleyo lwe-Netflix nabangani bethu abathembekile u-Ben & Jerry. Kunalokho, masiphishekele induduzo evela kuMoya oNgcwele, sazi ukuthi akusho ukuphila okungenabuhlungu kodwa ukunethezeka phakathi kobuhlungu.
Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, angikuthandi ukungakhululeki, kodwa ngiyakuthanda Wena. Ngicela uguqule ukuqonda kwami induduzo Yakho, futhi ungisize ngiyizwe ngempela. Moya oNgcwele, ngibonise ukuthi “amandla akho ndawonye” anjani ngakimi nakimi. Jesu, ngiyabonga ngokuthwala ihlazo lami esiphambanweni. Ameni.
