Khuleka Izinto EzinkuluIsampula
Lapho Uphendulwa Umthandazo Ubukeka Uhluke Kakhulu Kunalokhu Esikulindele
Ukuzalwa kwezingane zethu ezintathu kwakuyisimangaliso. Nokho, ukufika kwabo ngaphambi kwesikhathi kwasifaka ekungaqiniseki ngokuphathelene nempilo yabo, impilo yami, ngisho nokuphila kwethu. Ezinyangeni ezintathu zokuqala, sababuka belwela ukuphila kwabo njengoba, ngiyaqiniseka, izinkulungwane zazilwa ngomthandazo.
Ngazizwa sengathi ngiphila endaweni ehlukile kakhulu isikhathi lapho umhlaba wangaphandle wawuyinkumbulo ekude futhi iqiniso lami elisha lalilalela ukushaya kwenhliziyo kwezingane zami kwehluleka, ngibukele abahlengikazi begijima bezozivuselela, futhi sithandaza noRyan njalo ebusuku ukuthi sivuke sibe nezingane ezintathu eziphilayo. I-NICU iyakushintsha. Ukubona izingane ezisanda kuzalwa zidonsa kanzima ukuphefumula kuyakhathaza. Yeka umfanekiso othobisayo kaJakobe 4:15 : “Uma iNkosi ithanda, siyakuphila . . .”
Kodwa uNkulunkulu ubethembekile ekungilungiseni. Ngokushesha ngemva kokuba i-trimester yami yokuqala iphelile, ngasebenzisa iGoogle ngomama abathwele abantwana abathathu. Lezi zindaba zazidabukisa ngendlela emangalisayo. Ngashaqeka, uRyan engekho ekhaya, futhi ngezwa ngifikelwa wukukhathazeka. Ngaphinde nganquma ukuya kuNkulunkulu nemibuzo yami kanye nemizwa yami ekhungathekisayo. Ngabe sengizwa kucace njengosuku: Akubona abantwana bakho laba.
Ngahlengezela izinyembezi. UNkulunkulu waqhubeka engikhonza njengoba Wangikhumbuza ukuthi Wayethanda uBlair, uBarrett, noBlake ngaphezu kwami nokuthi “ayikho injongo [kaNkulunkulu] engavinjelwa” (uJobe 42:2). Ngangingakaze ngilawule, ngangingasakwazi ukulawula, futhi ekugcineni ngangingafuni ukulawula—ngoba uNkulunkulu Nguye owayazi okwakudingeka kwenzeke. Futhi wayethembise ukungisiza kuzo zonke izinyathelo zendlela.
Lesi sifundo sangibona emahoreni amade kakhulu kanye nobusuku obumnyama kakhulu: ngilahla umuzwa wami ongalungile wokulawula ezandleni ezithembekile, ezinothando zaLowo Ongeke ahluleke noma alahle Okwakhe. Umndeni wami omncane wawuphephile, ngoba uNkulunkulu wayenathi. Njengoba uMathewu 16:25 esho, “Noma ubani ofuna ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyolahlekelwa yikho, kodwa noma ubani olahlekelwa ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami uyokuthola.” Ukulahlekelwa ukulawula kwami kwangivumela ukuba ngithole ukholo lwami. Inkululeko uNkulunkulu asinika yona njengoba sifunda ukuzinikela inikeza ukuthula okudingekayo ukuze sithandazele izinto ezinkulu.
Ingabe usamukele isimemo sikaKristu sokuba yingxenye yento enkulu kunawe? Vuma ukwesaba onakho mayelana nokuyeka ukulawula ocabanga ukuthi unakho.
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Yini ekuvimbela ukuthi ukhuleke imithandazo emikhulu? Ekwabelaneni ngendaba yakhe yezimpendulo zikaNkulunkulu ezishintsha ukuphila emithandazweni enesibindi, uJulia Jeffress Sadler uletha inselelo yokuthatha uNkulunkulu eZwini Lakhe futhi umbone ehamba ngendlela engakaze ibonwe ngaphambilini. Kuleli sonto, sizofunda ukuthi singakhuleka kanjani ngesibindi futhi sibheke ngokulindela izimpendulo zikaNkulunkulu. Okuyivelakancane kweqiniso akukho ekuphenduleni kukaNkulunkulu imithandazo emikhulu kodwa ekuceleni kwethu imithandazo emikhulu.
