Uthando LunguMuntuIsampula
“...Uthando lumnene futhi lumnene kubo bonke...." 1 KwabaseKorinte 13:4 TPT
Ukuthanda ngobumnene kusho ukuziphatha ngobumnene nangomoya olinganayo. Kuwukubonakaliswa kothando okungatholakali emizweni eyeqisayo.
Umusa isenzo esiphakamisa futhi esihlonipha omunye.
Umusa onikelwa komunye uwukubonakaliswa kobumnene bezinhliziyo zethu.
Nokho, emizamweni yethu yokuthanda abanye, amazwi ngokuqhubekayo na wonke kuleli vesi agqama kimi. Kulula ukubonisa uthando ngomusa nobumnene nalabo akulula ukubathanda. Kodwa abantu abanzima noma abacasulayo? Akulula ukubonisa uthando ngokungaguquki, futhi ngokuqinisekile akulula ukubonisa ubumnene nomusa kubo. Eqinisweni, kulula ukugodla uthando, ngoba imizwa yethu isitshela ukuthi ayikufanele!
Ngokuvamile, laba bantu abanzima bahlala emakhaya ethu, noma mhlawumbe umbiko wethu oqondile emsebenzini. Kwesinye isikhathi basuke beyizitha zethu. Lapho laba bantu besihlasela ngokungavuthwa kwabo noma ukungavikeleki, noma ikakhulukazi ngenzondo yabo, kulula ukuvumela amazwi angenamusa nezimo zengqondo zichitheke. Ubumnene bethu bomoya—ubumnene bethu—buyanyamalala empini.
Kulezi zikhathi sisebenzisa uthando olufana nezikweletu zamadola, sizikhiphe lapho abantu bemukelekile kithi futhi sibahlwithe lapho ebesikulindele kungafezeki futhi siphoxekile.
Ingabe sibonisa uthando ngomusa ongaguquki nabalingani bethu, izingane zethu, abazali bethu noma sinolaka? Ingabe simnene lapho sishayela noma sikhuluma ngezandla futhi simemeza? Ingabe sinesizotha ngokheshi ohamba kancane esitolo, uweta onganakile endaweni yokudlela, umthengisi osocingweni, noma nalowo muntu oku-inthanethi?
Inhlonipho, ukubonisa ubumnene nomusa komunye, kuyisici esicishe salibaleka emphakathini wethu namuhla. Leli gama lisuselwa ezenzweni zemikhosi ezisetshenziswa enkantolo yasebukhosini. Inhlonipho ephakeme nokucabangela labo esihlala nabo noma esihlangana nabo, ikakhulukazi labo abanzima kakhulu, izimfanelo ezifanele zamadodana namadodakazi oPhezukonke.
Singabathanda kanjani njalo labo abasigxekayo? Kungani uNkulunkulu esicela ukuba sithande abantu abangathandeki, ngisho nalabo abasihlaselayo?
Ukubonisa uthando ngokungaguquki ngobumnene nangomusa kungenzeka kuphela lapho sivuma uthando olungaguquki nomusa uBaba wethu asenzele wona. Akalokothi alugodle uthando Lwakhe, noma sikufanele.
AmaHubo 117:2 TPT isitshela ukuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu uthululiwe izinhliziyo zethu. Ngiyazi ukuthi ineyami futhi ngiyabonga kakhulu.
Masikwenze umkhuba ukuncibilikisa izinhliziyo ngobumnene nangomusa ngokuphatha abanye. UMoya kaNkulunkulu ongaphakathi kwethu uzokwenza ukuthi leso sithelo sande futhi sikhule.
Cabanga ngokufunda imibhalo yanamuhla evela ku-The Message. (MSG)
