UKUPHAZAMISEKA OKUBANGELWA UKUNGATHANDI
“Sihawukele, Nkosi, sihawukele: ngoba sigcwaliswe ukudelelwa ngokwedlulele.”
AMahubo 123:3
Okumelwe sikuqaphele akusikho kakhulu ukulimala kokukholwa kwethu kuNkulunkulu kodwa ukulimala kwesimo sethu sengqondo sobuKristu. "Ngakho qaphela umoya wakho, ukuze ungenzi ngokukhohlisa." Isimo sengqondo sinemiphumela emikhulu, siyisitha esingena sijule emphefumulweni siphambukise ingqondo kuNkulunkulu. Kunezimo ezithile zengqondo esingalokothi sizitike kuzo; uma sikwenza, sithola ukuthi zisiphambukisile okholweni kuNkulunkulu, futhi kuze kube yilapho sibuyela esimweni esithule phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ukholo lwethu kuYe alulutho, futhi ukuthembela kwethu enyameni nasekuhlakanipheni komuntu yikho okubusayo.
Qaphela "izinkathazo zaleli zwe," ngoba yizo eziveza isimo esibi somphefumulo. Kuyamangalisa ukuthi izinto ezilula zinamandla amakhulu kangakanani okuphambukisa ukunaka kwethu kuNkulunkulu. Yenqaba ukucwiliswa yizinkathazo zalokhu kuphila.
Enye into esiphambukisayo yinkanuko yokuzithethelela. U-Augustine oNgcwele wathandaza — "O Nkosi, ngikhulule kule nkanuko yokuzithethelela njalo." Leso simo sengqondo sichitha ukholo lomphefumulo kuNkulunkulu. "Kumelwe ngizichaze; kumelwe ngenze abantu baqonde." INkosi yethu ayizange nakanye ichaze lutho; yashiya amaphutha ukuba azilungise wona.
Lapho siqonda ukuthi abantu abaqhubeki ngokomoya futhi sivumela lokho kuqonda kuphenduke ukugxeka, sivimba indlela yethu eya kuNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu akalokothi asinike ukuqonda ukuze sigxeke, kodwa ukuze sinxusele.
