Uthando Luyasonteka
Kanye no-St. Augustine singasho ukuthi uthando lungolokugcina. Kodwa futhi ngo-Augustine singaveza ukuthi okuhle uNkulunkulu akunikezayo kuyasonteka; iyona kanye incazelo yokuthi ububi buyini. Ngakho-ke ngisho nothando luyasonteka futhi lugxile kumina. Njengezoni sizibheka kakhulu ngokwemvelo, futhi siphila ezweni eligxile kithina. Inqobo nje uma sizibheka, siphuthelwa uthando Lwakhe.
Asifuni ukuphuthelwa okulungile phambi kwethu ngenxa yokwesaba noma ukuzidla noma ukungakholwa. Asifuni ukuphila sidlula kuzo zonke izigigaba ukuze sifinyelele ekugcineni futhi sithole ukuthi siphuthelwe iphuzu.
Isaga, esinezinhlobonhlobo eziningi emakhulwini eminyaka edlule, sisixwayisa ngesineke ukuthi ukweqiwa okubonakala kungenamsebenzi kungaba nemiphumela ebuhlungu nengalindelekile.
Ngokuswela isipikili, isicathulo salahleka,
Ngokuswela isicathulo, ihhashi lalahleka,
Ngokuswela ihhashi, umgibeli walahleka,
Ngokuswela umgibeli, umlayezo ulahlekile,
Ngokuswela umyalezo, umdonsiswano waphela,
Ngokuswelelka komdonsiswano, impi yahlulwa,
Ngokuswela impi, umbuso walahleka,
Ngokuswela isikhonkwane, izwe lalahleka.
Singase sisindiswe futhi singene ezulwini ukuze sithole ukuthi asizange sikujabulele ukugcwala kothando Lwakhe lapha emhlabeni ayekuhlosile. U-Amy Carmichael uthi: “uJulian waseNorwich [ngawo-1300] wabhala: ‘Kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ukuba sizithathele induduzo yaKhe ngokuyinhloko nangamandla ethu, futhi ufisa ukuba sizithathe kalula izinkathazo zethu ngangokunokwenzeka. zithathe, uzenze ize.” Yebo, ngoba “injabulo iyeza ekuseni.”’”
uSamuel Rutherford eminyakeni engu-300 kamuva wabhala, “Angiyitholi indlela yothando lukaKristu.’ Ukube ngangazi lokho ayengigcinele kona, kwakungafanele neze ngiphele amandla kangaka.”
Ingabe nawe ufana nalaba abangcwele bakudala? Ngokuvamile sikuthola kunzima ukuthola lolu thando ngokugcwele, sizizwa singafaneleki, singathandeki; noma okungamukeleki. Sinomqondo ojulile emphefumulweni wethu wokuthi singase siphuthelwe iphuzu. Kodwa uma sigeja leliphuzu sizolahlekelwa izibusiso eziningi namathuba asibekele wona, manje nasesikhathini esizayo.
