Ukwamukela Ukudumazeka Kwethu

Siyakuthanda ukwamukela izipho noma izincomo, kodwa ubani ofuna ukwamukela ukudumala? Ngezinye izikhathi kuzwakala kungcono ukuhlala ngokuphoxeka kwethu kunokuba sikulungise futhi sidlule kukho. Ukuhlala kule ndawo ngandlela thize kusivumela ukuthi sibambelele kulokho esingakutholanga ngisho nokuphupha emini ngalokho “okungaba yikho.” Kodwa ngeke sikwazi ukuqhubeka nokuprakthiza ubuhlungu bethu uma sifuna ukwedlula kunoma yini esishiye sidangele futhi siphoxekile.

Ukwamukela ukuphoxeka kwethu akusho ukuthi sithethelela noma sivumela lokho noma lowo osiphoxile. Kusho nje ukuthi siyabona ukuthi kwenzekile, futhi singenzi sengathi akwenzekanga. Lapho sithatha lesi sinyathelo, sisendleleni ebheke ekutholeni inkululeko yeqiniso kunoma yini ephuca injabulo yethu. Ngakho-ke, masenze izinto ezimbili ezizosisiza samukele ukudumala kwethu.

Kuqambe
Ukudumala kuwukudabuka okwenzeka lapho amathemba nezifiso zethu zishiywa zingafezekile. Futhi yebo, ngisho nabalandeli bakaJesu babedumazeka. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kwenzeka kanjalo, akusho ukuthi singamaKristu angavuthiwe. Akusho ukuthi asithembeli kuJesu, futhi akusho neze ukuthi asijulile. Kusho nje ukuthi besinethemba lomphumela ohlukile kunalowo esiwutholile. Pho, kwenzekani empilweni yakho? Ingabe kwenzeke isimo obungasilindele? Ingabe amazwi othile akulimazile futhi ubonakala ungawakhohlwa? Ingabe iphupho libonakala lifa ngokuphindaphindiwe futhi awazi ukuthi liqale kanjani futhi? Uma usukwazile ukusho ukudumala kwakho, kubhale phansi.

Kudlulise
Uma usukubhale phansi, yizwa ukulahlekelwa yikho. Ubufisa ukuthola ithemba, injabulo, kanye nenjabulo emphumeleni othile, kodwa awuzange ukuthole. Futhi lokho kuyadumaza. Ukulahlekelwa okubuhlungu yingxenye ethandwa abantu abambalwa. Abantu abaningi bangancamela ukunganaki ubuhlungu babo futhi “baqhubeke nempilo yabo.” Kodwa, kufanele siphushe futhi sidlulise imizwa ehambisana nento esiyibona njengebuyisela emuva. Kufanele siqaphele ukuthi asivumeli usizi lwethu luholele ekuphelelweni ithemba. Usizi luyinqubo futhi lunezigaba. Ezigabeni ezehlukene, siyathuthuka ekwelashweni kwethu futhi singase sivalwe amehlo yinkumbulo yokudumala kwethu. Ungakhathazeki—ukudlulisa usizi lwethu kusabalulekile futhi kuzosisiza ukuthi sifike endaweni lapho ithemba lihlala likhona.

Indaba kaJobe eTestamenteni Elidala igcwele ukudumala okudabukisayo kanye nokudumala okukhulu. Ujobe walahlekelwa yikho konke ngaphandle komkakhe nokuphila kwakhe. Wazama ukwenza umqondo ngokulahlekelwa izingane zakhe nendlela yokuziphilisa, kodwa usizi lwakhe lwalungaphezu kwamandla akhe. Nokho, wayedumisa uNkulunkulu futhi akonanga ebuhlungwini bakhe.

Noma ngabe yini obhekane nayo, noma ngabe kukhulu kangakanani ukuphoxeka kwakho, uNkulunkulu angakumela ukudabuka kwakho, imibuzo yakho, kanye nentukuthelo oyizwayo ngokuphoxeka. Eqinisweni, ufuna ukukulawula. Ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu nokuthi unani yilokho okudingayo ngenkathi yakho edumazayo.
