Ukuthumba imicabango kusho ukuyilawula esikhundleni sokuyivumela ikulawule. — uPriscilla Shirer

Sidalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, futhi siyimisebenzi Yakhe yobuciko. Ukuphila kwethu bekungaba njani ukube besiphila ngendlela esikholelwa ngayo lelo qiniso? Isizathu esikhulu esenza singakwenzi kungukuthi sivumele imicabango enobuthi idlange emiqondweni yethu. Asikwazi ukuyivumela ukuthi ilawule izimpilo zethu—kumele sikhethe ukuthwebula imicabango yethu.  

Ukuthumba imicabango yethu kuzoba enye yezimpi ezinzima kakhulu esizibambayo. Kulula kakhulu ukujabulisa umcabango onobuthi. Umzamo ufika lapho sisempini. Noma siwujabulisa umcabango, sisengakwazi ukuwuthumba. Kungcono ngempela ukukwenza sekwephuzile kunakuqala. 

Uma iBhayibheli lithi asithumbe imicabango yethu, lokho kusho ukuthi sinamandla okwenza okuthile ngakho. NjengamaKristu, wona lawo mandla avusa uJesu kwabafileyo ahlala kithi. Ngosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, singakwaziukulawula imicabango yethu. 

Nasi isibonelo: ake sithi kunomuntu empilweni yakho okudingeka umxolele. Nsuku zonke, ukhumbula lokho akwenza kuwe. Awukwazi ukukuyeka noma ukuphuma kukho. Ungase uqale ukuba nemicabango efana nokuthi, “Angidingi ngempela ukuxolela lo muntu” noma “Abakwenza kimina akunakuthethelelwa.” Lena imicabango enobuthi okufanele uyithumbe. Yazi ukuthi ikwenza ube nesiyaluyalu sangaphakathi. Ngemva kwalokho, khetha iqiniso eliseZwini likaNkulunkulu. Ungase uthandaze, “Nkulunkulu, ngikhetha ukuwubeka eceleni lomcabango esikhundleni sokuwujabulisa. Ngiyazi ungixolele kakhulu empilweni yami. Ngisize ngidlulisele intethelelo efanayo nakulomuntu.”

Bese uphinda futhi futhi nafuthi kuze kube "kuyathathwa." Uzokwazi ukuthi ukuphulukiswa kuyenzeka uma ubheka emuva esimweni futhi ukuhlaba kobuhlungu akukubi kakhulu. Uzokubona njengento eyenzeka kuwena—enkathini edlule—hhayi into eyenzeka kuwe—inkathi yamanje.
