Ubungozi

Njengomama wabafana abathathu, ngiye ngafunda ukuthi uNkulunkulu udale wonke umfanyana onesifiso sokuzijabulisa. Ngesikhathi abafana bami besebancane, babehlale benza imigilingwane enjengesihlabani sefilimu yesenzo. Ayegijima ngokungesabi, agxume, ashibilike, futhi aziginqe yonke indawo ayeya kuyo naphezu kwezixwayiso zami zokuthi baqaphe. Nsuku zonke zazibanikeza elinye ithuba lokucindezela umkhawulo, bazibeke ebungozini, futhi bahlole okuthile okusha. 

Ngelinye lamaholidi omndeni wethu, sabayisa eGrand Canyon. Babemangele ngokuphelele, futhi befuna ukubona ukuthi bangasondela kangakanani onqenqemeni. Lokhu kwakungethusa kakhulu! Imibuzo efana nokuthi "Kuthiwani uma bezowa?" futhi “Kuthiwani uma beshelela?” kwagijima ekhanda lami. Uma nganginokungabaza, ngangazi ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi abafana bami babefisa ukuphila. 

Ngikholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenze abafana bami ngale ndlela ukuze baveze lokho ayikho. Ibhayibheli lisibonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyazithanda izigigaba futhi uye wazifaka engozini enkulu. Ngokwesibonelo, ngingaphikisa ngokuthi ingozi enkulu kunazo zonke uNkulunkulu ake ayithatha yilapho ethumela indodana yakhe uJesu ukuba izofela izono zethu. Usinikeza ithuba lokukhetha isipho esikhulu kunazo zonke esake sanikezwa futhi ubeka engozini yokuthi singase singakhethi ukwamukela uKristu. 

Indodana yami ephakathi nendawo ineminyaka engu-18 futhi isizoqala uhambo olukhulu kakhulu lwempilo yayo. Ulibangise eMexico eyedwa ukuze ayoshumayela iVangeli kulabo abangamazi uJesu. Lapho eqala ukungitshela lokho uNkulunkulu ayembizele ukuba akwenze, umcabango wami wokuqala wawuthi, “Akuphephile lokho. Lokho kuyingozi kakhulu.” Unkulunkulu washesha wangikhumbuza ukuthi akababizanga abafana bami ukuthi bazodlala ngokuphepha. Ubabizele ukubafaka engozini. Kungumsebenzi wami njengomama wabo ukubaseka obizweni lwabo, ngingabavimbi ngenxa yokwesaba kwami. 

Unkulunkulu wasebenzisa izikhathi ezifana neseGrand Canyon ukuze angisize ngibone ukuthi, ngazo zonke izikhathi ezincane, Ubelungiselela abafana bami uhambo lwabo olukhulu loMbuso. Kuyilungelo lami ukubasekela njengoba behamba futhi ngitshele labo abangakafinyeleli mayelana nokukhetha okufanele bakhethe uJesu futhi baphile ukuphila ngokwabo.
