Kungcono Ukhathazeke

Izinsuku zibonakala zizinde, kepha iminyaka mifushane. Awubi mncane, akunjalo? izingane zakho maduze zizofunda esikoleni samabanga aphezulu, umshado uzoba khona ngokuphazima, kumele kukhokhwe izikweletu, kuhlelwe isikhathi sokubonana nodokotela, iholidi lizofika lidlule, kuzomele uthenge imoto entsha maduze.… uhlu lungaqhubeka luqhubeke. Isikhathi siyahamba. “Bakhula ngokushesha. Ungaphuthelwa,” omakhelwane bami bangikhumbuza njengoba izingane zami zidlala ku-cul-de-sac. Impilo ayikucindezeli nje? Unohlu oluqhubekayo okufanele ulufeze, okuhlosiwe kwe-401k yakho, kanye neminyaka embalwa eyengeziwe yokulungiselela ingane yakho umhlaba wangempela. Ingabe ukucindezeleka kwakho kubangela ukukhathazeka nokukhathazeka njalo? kwenzekani uma ufa? Kuzokwenzekani kubantu abaseduze kwakho? Uma ithuna lingakhuluma, beliyothi, “Kungcono ukhathazeke futhi ucindezeleke ngaleli langa, ngoba ngiza kuwe!”

Kodwa kukhona uJesu,umuntu owanqoba ithuna. INkosi enqobayo eyasinika ithemba sonke. “Ningakhathazeki,” kusho uJesu. "Cabanga ngezinto zaphezulu." Ukwazi isimilo nobuntu bukaJesu kufanele kusenze sehlise umoya. UJesu wabuka ukufa ebusweni, kodwa wayekholelwa ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu. UJesu ufisa ukuthi uphile impilo yokuthula, intokozo kanye nethemba. Ithuna lakhe lithi, “Ungakhathazeki.”

THANDAZA: “Jesu, ngisize ngikhathazeke kancane futhi ngicabange ngobuhle bakho kakhulu. Ngembulele isimilo nobuntu bakho, ukuze ngibe nempilo yokuthula, injabulo nethemba.”
