Ukusinda Osizini: Inkonzo Yokuzinikela Yabazali AbakhalayoIsampula

Surviving Sorrow: Devotions for Parents in Mourning

USUKU 5 KWEZINGU- 5

Ngiyazi ukuthi awukwazi ukucabanga nosuku olulodwa ngaphandle kobuhlungu njengamanje. Ngiyazi. Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, izinsuku eziningi zisaqala futhi ziphele (ngokugwazwa okuthile phakathi) nobuhlungu obuncane kimi, ngisho neminyaka eminingi kamuva. 

Akukhona kule mpilo engilindele ukukhululeka ebuhlungwini. Inhliziyo yami ibambelele emiBhalweni eqinile lapho uNkulunkulu ethembisa ukulungisa lokho okuphukile. Ngolunye usuku, inhliziyo yakho ephukile ngeke isaba khona. Ngolunye usuku, ukufa kuyophela phakade. Angeke abe khona amathuna ezulwini. Lapho uNkulunkulu edala izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha, ngeke kube khona izibhedlela, izindlu zabangcwabi, amathuna. Oh usuku olukhazimulayo! 

Ungayibona ngeso lengqondo indawo enjalo? Okwesikhashana, zama ukubona ngeso lengqondo izwe elingenazo izingozi zokuntshontsha ukuphila ngokuphazima kweso. Azikho izidumbu ezizodilizwa futhi zivale. Awukho umdlavuza. Azikho izinkinga zokuzalwa. Akukho okubi empini. Akukho ukulutheka. Asikho isono. Asikho isifo senhliziyo. Akukho ukwehluleka kwezinso. Akukho ukuvukela. Akukho ukubulala. Awekho ama-overdoses. Akukho ukuzibulala. Akukho ukuzala. Akukho ukuphuphunyelwa yisisu. Ayikho imindeni esele. Ayikho imibhede engenalutho. Asikho isihlalo esingenalutho etafuleni. Ngeke kusaba buhlungu. Usizi ngeke lube khona. Ukucindezeleka akukwazi ukungena. Ukukhathazeka akukwazi ukuntshontsha injabulo. 

Uma ukholwa kuNkulunkulu uBaba nakuJesu uMsindisi, ungaphumula eqinisweni lokuthi izulu lizofika. Ngolunye usuku, izulu liyoba ngokoqobo kuwe. Noma nini lapho ngicabanga ngezulu, futhi ngicabanga ngokubona uNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso, ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngizombuza yini. Ngiyazibuza ukuthi umbuzo usazoba senhliziyweni yami, uma uzophunyuka ezindebeni zami: ngani? Ingabe ngizombuza uNkulunkulu ukuthi kungani kwadingeka ukuba ingane yami ife? Angazi. 

Esikhathini esiningi, ngicabanga ukuthi izulu lizomangalisa kakhulu futhi liphelele kangangokuthi ngizoqonda ngandlela thize ukuthi lo mhlaba nokuphila kwabantu kuhlakazeke kangakanani njengoba behlukaniswa noNkulunkulu. Ukulahlekelwa u-Austin kuzokwenza ngandlela thize kimi. Ngezinye izikhathi, ngiye ngibone ngeso lengqondo uNkulunkulu engenzela indawo eduze Kwakhe, indawo yokuba ngihlale eduze kukaBaba wami uNkulunkulu futhi ngikhulume isikhathi eside ngempilo yami, impilo ka-Austin, isikhathi sethu emhlabeni, nokuthi wasebenzisa kanjani konke ukuze akhazimulise. 

Ngimbona enosizi emehlweni Akhe njengoba ekhuluma nami, ingane Yakhe. Ungikhombisa ibhodlela lapho Aqoqe khona zonke izinyembezi zami. Kuvulwa incwadi eyaqopha zonke izinsuku zokulila kwami, izinyembezi zonke. Kunezizathu. Abanye abahlanganise lutho nami, kodwa konke okuphathelene Naye. 

Ngizoqonda kungazelelwe ukuthi zonke izinto ezisemhlabeni ngezikaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Zonke izinto zenzeka ngenxa yoMbuso waKhe, ngenxa yenkazimulo yaKhe. Impilo yami, impilo yengane yami, umndeni wami, siyingxenye kuphela yendaba Yakhe. Isiphetho sendaba Yakhe, nokho, yilokho okulangazelelwa yinhliziyo yami—inkazimulo yaphakade, akusekho kufa, kungasekho usizi. 

Kuze kube yilolo suku, kufanele siqhubeke sizama ukukucabanga! Inhliziyo yakho mayiphakanyiswe ngokucabangela izulu namuhla. Vumela ingqondo yakho ixazululwe ngokubona inkazimulo. Thola indawo yokuvumela ilanga likhanye ebusweni bakho, vala amehlo akho, bese uzama ukubona ngeso lengqondo umhlaba osilindile. Cabanga ngosuku lapho uyobona khona uNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso: 

“Ilanga ngeke usaba nalo libe ngukukhanya emini, nenyanga ngeke ikukhanyisele ukuze ube nokukhanya; Kepha uJehova uyakuba ngukukhanya okuphakade, noNkulunkulu wakho abe yinkazimulo yakho. Ilanga lakho ngeke lisashona, nenyanga yakho ngeke ishone; Ngokuba uJehova uyakuba ngukukhanya okuphakade kuwe, nezinsuku zokulila kwakho ziyophela.” (Isaya 60:19-20).
