Okukuqala: I-Lent Devotional Isampula
Ukwehla
Ekuqaleni kwendaba yokudala kuGenesise, kwakungekho ukukhanya. Bekungakadalwa. Amanzi ayejulile futhi emnyama impela. Nokho uNkulunkulu wayekhona lapho, elungile, elindile ngokulangazelela.
Afanekiselani amanzi amnyama? Izinxushunxushu. Ukudabuka. Ukwesaba. Ukungabi nalutho. Ukulahlekelwa. Ukungabaza. Isizungu. Ukuphelelwa ithemba. Olwesihlanu Oluhle lwempilo.
Kunomqondo osembhalweni wasendulo obizwa ngekatabasis. Kusho ukwenza ukwehla ukuze uthole ukuqonda. Ngoba abantu basendulo baqonda okuthile esikukhohliwe: amaqiniso ajule kakhulu awatholakali esiqongweni sentaba - avame ukuba ngaphansi komgodi.
Uzokwazi lokhu empilweni yakho. Cabanga ngezenzakalo eziye zakulolonga. Ngeke kube yizindaba zokuhamba ngomkhumbi nje; zizoba yizindaba eziyinselelo, izindaba ezinobumnyama obuncane kuzo. Izindaba ezimnandi zangoLwesihlanu.
Phila isikhathi eside ngokwanele futhi uzokwazi isikhathi lapho kwakungekho ukukhanya. Mhlawumbe ubhekene nesikhathi esinjalo manje. Ukube uNkulunkulu wayelibala kulobo bumnyama; ukuheleza phezu kwamanzi; ulungele ukwenza okuthile okusha?
Umthandazo:
Kristu owabethelwa esiphambanweni; Kristu okhona ebumnyameni, ngazise ukuba khona kwakho kimi. Ngiphe ukuthula ngisalinde umzuzu othi, ‘Makube khona ukukhanya.’ Ameni.
