USUKU 5 KWEZINGU- 5

Ukuthula

Uma ucabanga ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi, uzizwa kanjani? Mhlawumbe ugcwele ukulangazelela, ithemba, kanye nenjabulo. Noma mhlawumbe, njengabanye abaningi, uzizwa ukhathele, ukhungathekile, futhi ucindezelekile. Nakuba kuvamile ukuba nomuzwa wokukhathazeka kulesi sikhathi sonyaka, lokho uNkulunkulu akufuna kithi ukuthula.

Ngaphambi kokufa nokuvuka kwakhe, uJesu wathembisa ukusinika ukuthula. Inkinga ukuthi abaningi bethu abazi ukuthi bangayifinyelela kanjani kukho nsuku zonke. Siyazi ukuthi kufanele siphonse izinkathazo zethu kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokuvamile kulula ukukusho kunokukwenza—ikakhulukazi ngezinkathazo zethu ezinkulu. Ngesizathu esithile, lapho umthwalo unzima, yilapho sizama ukuwuthwala sodwa. Ngokujabulisayo, encwadini kaPawulu eya kwabaseFilipi, usinikeza isiqondiso sendlela yokunikeza uNkulunkulu imithwalo yethu:

Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngokukhuleka nokunxusa kanye nokubonga; Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu okudlula ukuqonda konke kuyakulondoloza izinhliziyo zenu nemicabango yenu ngoKristu Jesu.

Elokugcina, bazalwane, konke okuyiqiniso, konke okuhloniphekayo, konke okulungileyo, konke okuhlanzekileyo, konke okuthandekayo, konke okutusekayo, noma kukhona okuhle, noma kukhona okuthandekayo, noma kukhona okuhle nokubi, noma kukhona okubongekayo, zindlani ngalezizinto. Izinto enazifunda, nazamukela, nazizwa, nazibona kimi, zenzeni, khona uNkulunkulu wokuthula uyakuba nani.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi indlela esihweba ngayo ukukhathazeka ngokuthula kungomkhuleko. Ngokukhethekile, kanye nemithandazo yokunxusa nokubonga. Lokho kusho ukuthi lapho siya kuNkulunkulu, kufanele ngokuzithoba sicele esikudingayo sibe simbonga ngalokho esesikunikwe kona. Kodwa asigcini lapho. Njengoba sisusa imicabango yethu ekhathazayo, sigcwalisa izingqondo zethu ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu. Lapho sithandaza ngale ndlela, singase singayitholi impendulo esiyifunayo, kodwa singaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyokwethembeka ukuze asinike ukuthula.

Noma ngabe yini odlula kuyo, lesi siqephu senzelwe wena. Ithi ungakhathazeki ngalutho. Akukho lutho. Yonke into obhekene nayo njengamanje ifakiwe. Uma umshado wakho unezinkinga, ungakhathazeki ngalutho. Uma ungakwazi ukukhokhela izipho kulo nyaka, ungakhathazeki ngalutho. Uma ulindele imiphumela yokuhlolwa, ungakhathazeki ngalutho. Ingcindezi yeholide, ukungezwani, nokulimala - konke kufakiwe.

uNkulunkulu ufuna ukususa konke ukukhathazeka kini, aninike ukuthula. Hhayi ngolunye usuku esikhathini esizayo, kodwa manje. Khuluma naYe nje. Uma ungazi ukuthi ungaqala kuphi, qala ngokubonga uNkulunkulu ngesipho sikaJesu nensindiso yakho. Ngokuba ngaso sonke isikhathi eceleni kwakho futhi ngokukuthanda noma ngabe kwenzekani. Mbonge ngokuhlinzeka Kwakhe, isivikelo Sakhe, nakho konke okuhle empilweni yakho. Uma udumisa uNkulunkulu, unamandla okuguqula umbono wakho. Ufinyelela kanjalo-ke kulokhu kuthula phakathi kwemizabalazo yakho.

Kulo Khisimuzi, khetha ukugcina umbono waphakade. Khumbula iziprofetho ezagcwaliseka ngokuzalwa kukaJesu futhi uvumele ukwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu kugcwalise ithemba. Hloma izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke futhi uvumele amandla akhe akuvikele ekuhlaselweni kwesitha. Bheka ngale kwezimo zakho zesikhashana futhi uthole injabulo ehlala njalo ngokwazi ukuthi ingunaphakade lakho livikelekile. Nika uNkulunkulu zonke izinkathazo zakho futhi umethembe ukuthi uzoqapha inhliziyo yakho nengqondo yakho ngokuthula. Singaphila ngendlela ehlukile kulesi sikhathi samaholide uma sihlala sigxile ekutheni uNkulunkulu ungubani, izithembiso azigcinile, nekusasa elizayo.

Sikhulekela ukuthi uNkulunkulu asebenzise lolu hlelo ukuze akhonze enhliziyweni yakho.
