“Hlala uthule”

Ukuthula. Ngiye ngizibuze ukuthi isilinganiso esinempilo yokuthula singazishintsha kanjani izimpilo zethu emhlabeni ogqugquzelwa ezingapheli, ukuhlaziya okuqhubekayo, izicelo eziphuthumayo, imigqa emide ye-carpool, izikhumbuzo ezingapheli, ibhokisi lemiyalezo engapheli, namahora esitolo segrosa.

Ukwengeza, isikhathi sikakhisimusi sivamise ukuqinisa isiphithiphithi ngokusiphoqa ukuthi sihlelisa izinsuku, amaphathi, uhambo, ezezimali kanye nomndeni. Izimpilo zethu zingaba kanjani uma simema ukuthula, ekujuleni ngaphakathi? Angikhulumi ngehora ekilasini le-yoga kabili ngeviki, imizuzu engamashumi amathathu ejimini usuku ngalunye, noma ngisho nokuhamba uzungeza ibhulokhi ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa ukuze igazi lakho ligeleze (noma ukubamba ikhefu emsindweni wasekhaya).

Ungaqondi kabi. Lezo yiziqondiso ezinhle, zesikhashana zokuthula okunemibandela kanye nengqondo yethu. Kodwa ziyadlula futhi ngokushesha zithathelwa indawo isiphithiphithi nokuphuthuma kokuphila.

Ukristu usiphonsela inselelo yokuthi sijule kunokomzimba. Usibekela inselele yokuthi simeme ukuthula esimweni sethu sansuku zonke somqondo, inhliziyo, umphefumulo, nomoya.

Ukuthula njengesimo somqondo akuncikile endaweni esihlala kuyo noma kunqunywa izimo zethu zamanje.

Ukuthula njengesimo senhliziyo akunamibandela, kuyakhuthazela ngisho nalapho ukuphila okusizungezile kubonakala kuphithizela futhi kumatasa.

Ukuthula njengesimo somphefumulo kudlula lokho esikufunda ezifundweni nasezikhathini ezithule; kusikhumbuza usuku lonke ukuthi sithandwa ngokujulile futhi sisindiswe ngamandla.

Ukuthula njengesimo somoya kusikhumbuza ukuthi ngisho nalapho izingane zisikhuba noma ngenkathi kungekho lutho olubonakala luhamba kahle emsebenzini, uKristu ufisa ukuba inhliziyo yakho ihlale ekuthuleni, ekuphumuleni, ekuzoleni, ekuthuleni, kuye.

Sikuthola kanjani ukuthula njengesimo sesazelo kunomuzwa odlulayo? Thula.

“Thulani, niqonde ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu.” — Ihubo 46:10

Njengoba uC.S. Lewis esho ku-bukrestu nje, “Unkulunkulu akakwazi ukusinika ukuthula nenjabulo ngaphandle Kwakhe ngoba ayikho into enjalo” (ikhasi 50).

Lapho sithola uNkulunkulu phakathi nosuku ngalunye, sithola ukuthula. “Ukuthula ngikushiya kinina; ukuthula kwami ​​ngininika khona” (NgokukaJohane 14:27). Ngalesi sikhathi sikaKhisimusi, asiqale ukuphila ngokuthula njengengxenye yohambo lwethu lwansuku zonke, hhayi njengezindawo ezikude zomhlaba.
