Isigaba IV: Ukulindela

Ngiyakholwa

Namuhla uzofunda lokho okungase kube ngesinye ozigcina zingu-100 izibonelo zomthandazo wokuphelelwa ithemba ngokuphelele oseBhayibhelini: Ngiyakholwa; ngisize nginqobe ukungakholwa!"

Lawo mazwi avela kubaba osezame konke ukuze atholele indodana yakhe usizo kodwa wathola ukudangala, ukudumala nokuhlulwa kabuhlungu. Wazama ngisho noNkulunkulu—wathatha indodana yakhe ukuba ayobona abafundi bakaJesu, futhi abakwazanga ukumenzela lutho. 

Lo baba uphelelwe yithemba, futhi njengobaba nami ngingakwazi ukuzifaka ezicathulweni zakhe (noma kwizimbadada nanoma yini abeyigqokile). Ukube kwakungenye yamadodana ami, ngangingenza noma yini engingayenza, futhi ngangingeke ngiyeke—ngisho noma ngangicabanga ukuthi isimo sasibonakala singenathemba.

Le ndoda ayisenalo ithemba eliningi. Ithangi lakhe lokholo alinalutho, futhi ugijima phezu kwentuthu. Uma uJesu engakwazi ukusiza…

Uke wazizwa kanjena? Ngiyazi ukuthi nginakho.

Kodwa le ndoda iqonda into ebaluleke kakhulu: ngaphandle kokulindela, ngaphandle kokukholwa, akukho themba. Ngakho-ke uqeda ukuthobeka okungamanga kanye nesifihla-buso “sokukholwa elilungile” futhi ngokungagwegwesi ucela usizo: “Ngiyakholwa; ngisize nginqobe ukungakholwa kwami!”

Ingxenye yokugcina ye-HSPE (khumbula, “isikole samabanga aphezulu P.E.”) Okulindelekile. Ungakubiza ngokuthi ukholo—yilowo muzwa onethemba odinga ukuba yingxenye yemithandazo yethu. Akwanele ukumane ukholelwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu; kudingeka sikholwe ukuthi uyabavuza labo abamfuna ngenkuthalo (bona amaHeberu 11:6).

Kungenzeka ukuthi uzizwa njengobaba kwisifundo sanamuhla, futhi uma kunjalo ngizokutshela into efanayo uJesu ayitshela lobaba: Konke kuyenzeka kokholwayo."

UHenry Ford wathi, “Akukhathaleki ukuthi ucabanga ukuthi ungakwazi, noma ucabanga ukuthi awukwazi—uqinisile.” Ngakho-ke yini oyilindele? Uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angakwenza—noma ngabe “kuyini” empilweni yakho? Noma awunalutho, njengalo baba?

Uma uphelelwa umoya, udangele, ukhathele, futhi unenkinga yokukholelwa kuNkulunkulu—use ndaweni efanele impela! Awudingi ukuhlanganisa ukholo oluthile noma uqoqe imicabango emihle engelona iqiniso. Kunalokho, cela usizo kuJesu, njengoba kwenza le ndoda. 

Manje, zilungiselele izindaba ezinhle: usuwenza lokho uJesu atshela abafundi bakhe ukuba bakwenze—ukuzila ukudla nokuthandaza. Futhi kwenzekani lapho sizila ukudla futhi sithandaza sinokulindela? 

UKUDLULA.
