Ukuhlanza Ngokujulile Izinhliziyo Zethu 

Cabanga ngomuzwa owutholayo ngemva kokuhlanza isikhala sakho ngokujulile. Imfuhlumfuhlu iyaphela, izindawo ezingaphezulu zithola lokho kubukeka okucwebezelayo, okukhanyayo, futhi yonke into inuka kahle futhi iyintsha. Njengoba uqalaza, uzizwa ufezeke—njengokungathi ungaphefumula futhi. 

Manje sesinayo yonke imibukiso emayelana nabantu abalungisa amakhaya abo, bafake imibala yamaphethini abo, futhi banciphise izinto zabo. Kodwa nakuba singase sisheshe ukungena emkhunjini ngokukhipha udoti wethu, kuthiwani ngomsebenzi wangaphakathi wokuhlanza imiphefumulo yethu ngokujulile? 

Abaningi bethu bathwele kanzima ngokomzwelo, futhi ukudideka kwethu ngokwengqondo kungaba namandla. Kodwa esikhundleni sokukhuluma ngakho, ngokuvamile siyakuziba. Kulula ukuqhubeka nokunyakaza, ukuhlala simatasa, futhi siziphazamise ngomsebenzi kunokubhekana nomthwalo wangempela wengqondo esiwuthwele. 

Kodwa njengoba singakwazi ukuhlanza izindlu zethu ngokufaka yonke into ekhabetheni, asikwazi ukusunduza udoti wethu ongokomzwelo ekhabetheni lokufayila ebuchosheni bethu. Uma senza kanjalo, ekugcineni kuyachitheka, ngokuvamile okuholela ekungqubuzaneni ngokobudlelwane, imiphumela engemihle yomzimba, kanye nokucasuka. 

Akumele silinde kuze kube yilapho sesifike ngesikhathi sethu sokuphumula ukuze sihlole ukuthi yini ephukile. Eqinisweni, kuwumkhuba onempilo ngempela ukumema uMoya oNgcwele njalo ukuze uvuselele izingqondo zethu futhi uhlanzeke. izinhliziyo zethu. 

Lo mkhuba siwubona njengesibonelo kumaHubo 51. UDavide—owaziwa njengendoda elandela inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu—umoshile. Isikhathi esikhulu. Usanda kuphinga noBati Sheba, wabe esezama ukukufihla ngokuvumela umyeni wakhe ukuba abulawe. 

Ubhala isicelo sokuthethelelwa, bese ethandaza lo mthandazo: 

O Nkulunkulu, dala kimi inhliziyo ehlanzekileyo. Vuselela umoya ongcwele phakathi kwami. AmaHubo 51:10 NLT 

UDavide uphendula ukuzisola kwakhe kube ukuphenduka okuqotho. Akagcini nje ngokuyicindezela phansi imizwa yakhe noma acashe ehlazweni lakhe. Aphendukele kuNkulunkulu. Umema uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi enze umsebenzi wokuhlanza enhliziyweni yakhe.

Nsuku zonke, sinethuba lokwenza into efanayo.

Uma sinqotshwa umuzwa wecala, amahloni, ukucasuka, ukucasuka, noma ukungathetheleli, singacela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asiphe inhliziyo ehlanzekile. Lapho sibhekene nesilingo, singacela uNkulunkulu ukuba asihlanze. Ngisho nangosuku oluvamile, singacela uNkulunkulu ukuba ahlanze izinhliziyo zethu futhi agxilise imicabango yethu Kuye.

Sekuyisikhathi sokutshala imali emiphefumulweni yethu njengoba sitshala endaweni yethu.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuhlanza kakhulu imiphefumulo yethu akusho nje ukulungisa ukuziphatha kwethu. Kujule kunalokho. Ukuhlanza okujulile kwemiphefumulo yethu kuqala ngokuhlola isimo sezinhliziyo zethu.

KuMathewu 23, uJesu ukhuluma nabaFarisi abaqikelelayo ukwenza okulungile emininingwaneni emincane kodwa bephuthelwa yizisusa ezifanele ezinhliziyweni zabo. Amazwi akhe aveza ukuthi kungani kubalulekile hhayi nje ukuhlanza ubuso bezimpilo zethu, kodwa ukuvumela uMoya ukuba uguqule izinhliziyo zethu: 

“Kulusizi lwenu bafundisi bomthetho nani baFarisi! Bazenzisi! Ngokuba niyaqaphela ukuba nihlanze ingaphandle lendebe nesitsha, kepha ingaphakathi lingcolile, ligcwele ukuhaha nokuzitika. MFarisi oyimpumputhe! Hlanza kuqala ingaphakathi lendebe nesitsha, khona-ke nengaphandle liyakuhlambuluka.” NgokukaMathewu 23:25-26 

Kulezi zinsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo, sizokhuluma ngokuthi singayihlanza kanjani imiphefumulo yethu emathonyeni anobuthi, ubudlelwano, kanye nenzondo. Kodwa namuhla, zinike isikhathi sokuma ucabange: Iziphi izindawo zomphefumulo wami ezingadinga ukuhlanzeka okujulile? 

Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, dala kimi inhliziyo ehlanzekile. Ngembulele noma yini kimi engajabulisi Wena. Ngibonise noma yiziphi izindawo lapho engingase ngidinge khona ukuvumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba angihlanze, futhi ungisize ngihloniphe Wena ngendlela engiphila ngayo. Ngegama likaJesu, ameni.
