Minyaka yonke, sigcwaliswa yimfashini yakamuva yokuzivocavoca namathiphu okuba “umusha” Onyakeni Omusha. Kungaba nzima ukuzama ukuzenza kabusha njalo ngoJanuwari ukuze sihambisane nokuthi umhlaba ucabanga ukuthi kufanele sibe yini. Ukuphokophela kwethu nokuzabalaza akuvamile ukuba kuphumele ekwamukelweni noma ekugcwalisekeni. Kunalokho, abantu basinika amalebula amasha asenza singabaze ubuthina kakhulu.

Akekho othanda ukulebulwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amalebula avamise ukwenziwa ngokweqile, abe nemingcele, futhi awanembile. Eza nesethi yokuqagela, okungaba kubi kakhulu, futhi avame ukugqamisa izimfanelo zethu ezimbi kakhulu noma amaphutha amakhulu kakhulu. Amalebula awashiyi indawo yokwehluka, ukukhula, noma ukuhlengwa. 

Sonke sigqoka amalebula, kungakhathaleki ukuthi sithenga amalebula abanye abasifake kuwo noma sizifake thina. Ngokuvamile, sivumela lawo malebula ukuthi asikhawulele futhi asitshele ukuthi asanele. Nje. Sengeza leli gama elincane, kodwa elibalulekile uma sizichaza futhi sivumela amalebula ukuthi asenze singafaneleki. Cishe uzwile abantu abangenakubalwa bekusho, mhlawumbe uze wakusho ngokwakho. “Ngingumfundi wasesikoleni esiphakeme” noma “Ngiwumluthwa nje.”

Vumela uNkulunkulu akusize uqondanise ubuwena neqiniso leBhayibheli ukuze uphile kulo nyaka, okokuqala nokubalulekile, njengomntwana kaNkulunkulu.
