I-Evil's Vicious Spiral
Kodwa ukuba konke kuza kukhetho lwethu, ngoko kutheni, ixesha elinikiweyo, asinako ukuphucuka? Ngaba uninzi lwethu alufuni ngokwenene ukuthandwa nokuthandwa? Ke kutheni izenzo zobubi zinotyekelo lwendalo lokuphindaphindeka kwi-spiral ezantsi?
Cofa apha ukuze ubuyele esihogweni uPhumelela okanye eZulwini ukuhlawula, okanye kuyo nayiphi na imixholwana engezantsi:
Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba konke kuxhomekeke kukhetho lwethu, ke eyona nto kufuneka siyenze kukuqala ukubona ingqondo; yaye, ixesha elinikiweyo, asinako ukuphucuka? Mhlawumbi kukho ‘ama-apile amabi;’ kodwa uninzi lwethu alufuni ngokwenene ukuthanda nokuthandwa? Yinyani – siya. Kodwa ukuba ibilula ngolo hlobo, kutheni le nto onke la mawaka eminyaka engakwazanga ukuvelisa uluntu olunobulungisa ngokwenene? Amadoda aye aphupha kwaye alangazelela ukulunga okunjalo kwaye azama le okanye le nkqubo ngamanqanaba ahlukeneyo okuphumelela. Kudla ngokuthiwa siza kufika kungekudala – kukubona kuphela impucuko kunye nobukhosi buwohloka kwakhona bube sisidubedube.
Kwaye le nto siyibona isenziwa rhoqo eluntwini siyibona isenzeka amaxesha ngamaxesha kobethu ubomi. Uninzi lwethu luqhelene kakhulu nemeko echazwe nguSt Paul Romans 7:21-24:
Ngoko ndifumana lo mthetho uyasebenza: Nangona ndifuna ukwenza okulungileyo, ububi buphezu kwam. Kuba ngaphakathi kwam ndikholiswa ngumthetho kaThixo; kodwa ndibona omnye umthetho usebenza kum, usilwa nomthetho wengqondo yam, undenza umbanjwa womthetho wesono, osebenza ngaphakathi kwam. Yhini mfondini ndilishwangusha! oya kundihlangula kulo mzimba usisisulu sokufa?
Ngoko yintoni ingxaki esisiseko? Beka ngokulula, ububi bandisa ububi; yaye, ngokungabikho kwayo nayiphi na injongo yokumanyanisa, yonke into inotyekelo lwendalo olubhekiselele kwimeko yokwanda kokuphazamiseka.
- Utit wetati. Xa siphathwa ngokungekho sikweni, sifuna impindezelo; yaye ukuba abanye abayi kusiphindezela okanye basibuyisele, ngokufuthi siya kuzifunela yona.
- Ukungcatshwa Kuzala Intando Engalunganga. Nokuba asifuni kuziphindezela, kunzima ukuxolela kwaye kunzima ngakumbi ukuthanda lowo usonileyo.
- Ukuzingca kulula ngakumbi. ‘Jonga inombolo 1’ ngummiselo olula kakhulu ukuwuqonda nokuwulandela.
- Impatho-mbi iyasithoba. Kudla ngokuba njalo, ngexesha elithile, abo baye baxhatshazwa baphelela ekubeni ngabaxhaphazi. Kukho imvakalelo yentloni yangaphakathi ehlala ibangela ukuba lowo uxhatshaziweyo afune ukuzithethelela okanye ukuhlenga, kwenzeke ntoni; okanye bafune ukuqinisekiswa kwabanye - nakubaxhaphazi babo bokuqala.
- Amandla ayakhobokisa. Siyayithanda imvakalelo yokulawula-nokuba asikho ngokwenene-kwaye sizama ukuyigcina injalo..
- Uthando lusenza sibe sesichengeni. Abo babathandayo bazimisele ukwenzakaliswa baze baxhatshazwe. Ngubani oza kubakhusela?1
Ngenye indlela, Ububi bufana nomxhuzulane. Eyona nto inzima kakhulu, kokukhona ithande ukutsala kwizinto eziyingqongileyo; ukuba nzima kunye nobunzima de ekugqibeleni ibe ngumngxuma omnyama, ukuvalela yonke into esondela kakhulu. Nangona uninzi lwethu lunokungabuthandi ngaphakathi ububi, ukanti inohlobo lomtsalane kuthi; lo nto, kancinci kancinci, siqala ukunyamezela kunye nokulalanisa kunye nayo; uze uyithethelele kwaye ekugqibeleni uyikhusele, bathi, “Yiloo ndlela endiyiyo.” Kwaye omnye weyona mithetho isisiseko yefiziksi, umgaqo entropy, isixelela ukuba, ukuba ishiywe yodwa, nayiphi na inkqubo elungelelaniswe kakhulu ngokwendalo ithoba ibe yimeko yokwanda kokuphazamiseka. 2
Siba Yinto Esiyikhethayo
Njengoko umthi ukhula, amasebe awo aqina. Nangona inokubunjwa ngokutsha ngokuthenwa nokukhula kwakhona, iyaqhubeka iphethe amanqaku exesha layo elidlulileyo. Kunjalo nangesimilo somntu; sihlala sibunjwa ziimeko zethu kunye neempendulo zethu kuzo. Kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo kubonwa ukuba abantu ababini basenokuchanabeka kumava obomi afana kakhulu ukanti baphume kuwo bahluke kakhulu. Abanye baphuma kwimpatho-mbi benesimo sengqondo esikrakra nesijijekileyo: abanye abanesakhono esimangalisayo sokulunga, uxolelo novelwano. Kuxhomekeke kwindlela esikhetha ukuphendula ngayo. Kodwa ngaba lilo lonke ibali? Isebe lomthi linokuqeqeshwa okanye licinezelwe ukumila okuthile; umthi usenokuwa: kodwa okoko iingcambu zayo zihleli emhlabeni isengadubula iye esibhakabhakeni kwakhona. Singazilungisa ukusa kuwuphi umkhamo? Abafundi bezakwalizwi abangamaKristu banezimvo ezahlukileyo kulo mba.
Ukonakala okupheleleyo - iNkalo yeCalvinistic
Kwizangqa zezakwalizwi zikaCalvin, isiphumo soku kwehla kwaso kwaziwa ngokuba yi ‘Total Depravity’ okanye ‘Ubukhoboka beNtando.’ Ivakalisa ukuqonda ukuba, ekubeni uAdam waphulukana nolwalamano lwakhe lokuqala noThixo, Imvelo yomntu ibuthathaka kwaye yonakele kangangokuba asinakuphila ngendlela ekholisa uThixo.. Yonke into esiyenzayo - ukuya kuthi ga kwiminqweno yethu engaphakathi - ingcoliswe sisono nokuzingca. Kwanezona zenzo zethu zibalaseleyo zingcoliswa ziintshukumisa zobuxoki. Ngokwale mbono, akukho nto sinokuyenza ukuze sizuze inkoliseko kaThixo. Inceba yakhe isisenzo sobunyulu, ubabalo lukaThixo olungasifanelanga. Nokuba ukhetha ukungaxoleli aze enze umzekelo ngathi, oko akukho ngaphezu kokuba besifanele kwaye ukuba Yena, njengoMgwebi, unelungelo lokufuna. Le migaqo ifundiswa ngokucacileyo eZibhalweni.
Ngokuba wathi kuMoses, “Ndiya kuba nenceba kosukuba ndinenceba kuye, ndibe nemfesane kosukuba ndinemfesane kuye.” Ngoko ke asikukuba lowo uthandayo, kwanalowo ubalekayo, kodwa nguThixo, Lowo wenza inceba. Kuba isibhalo sithi kuFaro, “Ndinimisele kwaloo nto ke, ukuze ndiwabonise amandla am kuwe, nokuba laziswe igama lam ehlabathini lonke.” Ngoko ke unenceba kwathanda ukumenzela inceba, nalowo Athanda ukumthanda, Uyaqina. (Rom 9:15-18)
Ukubaluleka kokuzikhethela-umbono waseArmenian
Kwelinye icala, AmaKristu amkela ‘umArmenian’ imbono igxininisa ukubaluleka okuqhubekayo kokhetho lobuqu. Le, kananjalo, ifundiswa ngokucacileyo eZibhalweni.
Moyikeni ke ngoko uYehova;, nimkhonze ngokunyanisekileyo, nangenyaniso. Susani oothixo ababekhonza bona ooyihlo phesheya koMlambo, eYiputa; nikhonze uYehova. Ukuba kubi emehlweni enu ukumkhonza uYehova;, zinyuleleni namhla oyena niya kumkhonza; ukuba ngoothixo ababekhonza bona ooyihlo, ababephesheya koMlambo, okanye oothixo bama-Amori, enihleli ezweni lakhe: Ke mna nendlu yam, siya kukhonza uYehova. (Jos 24:14-15)
Ngokufanayo, UYesu wayesoloko ebacel’ umngeni abaphulaphuli bakhe ukuba benze ukhetho.
'Ndilandele, ndonenza nibe ngababambisi babantu.’ (Mt 4:19)
‘Buza, yaye uya kunikwa. Funa, kwaye niya kufumana. Ukunkqonkqoza, kwaye uya kuvulelwa.’ (Mt 7:7-7)
‘Wandula wathi uYesu kwabalishumi elinesibini, “Ngaba nawe unqwenela ukuhamba?” ‘ (Joh 6:67)
Kodwa, kwinyani, Umahluko wezakwalizwi yimiba nje echaseneyo yengxaki enye. Njengabantu, senziwe ngokomfanekiso kaThixo, sanikwa amandla okuzikhethela; ukuze sibe nenkululeko yokuzikhethela indlela yothando. Sinoxanduva lokhetho lwethu: kodwa ngokukhetha indlela yethu endaweni yekaThixo indalo yethu iye yagqwethwa yimpembelelo yobubi. Impembelelo yayo eyonakalisayo isenza singalifanelanga izulu, kwaye iyasilawula ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba eyona mizamo yethu ilungileyo isishiya singakwazi ukukhululeka kuyo.
Umbuzo wokuba ngubani owenze okubi kakhulu - okanye ube ngoyena nqulo-awunamsebenzi. Sonke sijamelene nesigwebo sokufa kwesi sifo sibulalayo ngokomoya. Akukho namnye kuthi onokuthi oko akubanga sisiphumo sokhetho lwethu; yaye, phezu kwayo nje nayiphi na imigudu yokuziphucula esinokuthi siyenze, ekugqibeleni izinto zinokuba mbi ngakumbi – ngaphandle kokuba uThixo ngokwakhe akangeneleli.
Yintoni ke? Ngaba singcono kunabo? Hayi, nangayiphi na indlela. Kuba besesiwanyusile ngenxa engaphambili, amaYuda kwanamaGrike;, nokuba baphantsi kwesono bonke. Njengoko kubhaliwe, “Akukho ulilungisa; Hayi, hayi enye. Akukho mntu uqondayo. Akukho namnye ofuna uYehova. Bonke baguqukile. Badibene. Akukho namnye owenza okuhle, Hayi, hayi, kakhulu nje.” (Rom 3:9-12)
Ubunzulu bokonakala
Uninzi lwethu luphila ubomi obukhuselekileyo. Asifane sidibane ngqo nombulali olandelanayo, umdlwenguli okanye umthuthumbisi; kakhulu ke ukuba sibe nomnqweno onzulu wokuba sibe ngabanye. Singathanda kakhulu kwaye sithandwe. Ngamaxesha amaninzi, sisenokucaphuka size sibe nomsindo xa sithetha ngokufutshane, ‘Ndandiziva ndifuna ukumbulala:’ kodwa asifane sinyaniseke ngokwenene. Ngamanye amaxesha, xa ubukele ifilimu eyoyikisayo, sinokufumanisa ukuba i-suspense eyenza iinwele zethu ziphakame, ngezinye iindlela, iyavuselela kwaye inika umdla. Ukanti bambalwa kuthi abanokukuphepha ukuvuswa yimiboniso yenkohlakalo, Xa sibona ukubandezeleka kwabanye, uvelwano lwethu lwendalo luyachukunyiswa, ukuze siqalise ukungajongi nje ubunzima bomnye; kodwa nokuva intlungu yabo.
Kwelinye icala, uvelwano ludla ngokusenza sibe nomfanekiso-ngqondweni, kwaye wabelane, uvuyo lwabanye; nokuba kukugoduka komntu omthandayo okanye ekufumaneni inqaku lokuphumelela. Kwakhona kusenza sibe nomfanekiso-ngqondweni weemvakalelo zovuyo nezommangaliso kwanaxa singababukeli nje, kunokuba abathathi-nxaxheba kumava. Kwabaninzi bethu, ngaphandle kokuba siphethwe ludakumba, uvelwano lwethu lunesisindo kwicala lokufumana kulula ukufumana ukhuthazo oluvela kwabanye kunokudimazeka. Le positivity yendalo iluncedo kakhulu: kodwa kusishiya sinento emfamekileyo apho ububi bunxulumeneyo. Asiziqondi iindlela ububi obunokulawula ngazo ubomi bethu.
Ukuba siyabuza ukuba iya kuba yintoni impembelelo enokubakho yomntu onamava obuso ngobuso othando lukaYesu, phantse wonke umntu uya kukuxelela ukuba unokulindela ukuba abantu bonganyelwe luthando kangangokuba baphenjelelwe ngonaphakade ukuba baxelise isimilo Sakhe.. Kodwa, ngokungaqhelekanga, asikuko oko uYesu akuthethayo.
Nguwo lo umgwebo, ukuba ukhanyiso ke lufikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokhanyiso; kuba imisebenzi yabo ibingendawo. Kuba bonke abenza okubi, bayaluthiya ukhanyiso, kwaye akezi ekukhanyeni, hleze ibhenceke imisebenzi yakhe.” (Joh 3:19-21)
Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, uyayazi ukuba lindithiye kuqala kunani. Ukuba ubungabehlabathi, ihlabathi beliya kukuthanda okwalo. Kodwa ngokuba ningengabehlabathi, kuba ndaninyulayo mna kulo ihlabathi, ngenxa yoko linithiyile ihlabathi. Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo kuni: ‘Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe.’ Ukuba banditshutshisile, baya kunitshutshisa nani. Ukuba baligcinile ilizwi lam, nezakho ziya kukugcina. Kodwa zonke ezi zinto baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yegama lam, ngokuba abamazi owandithumayo. Ukuba bendingezanga ndathetha kubo;, ngebengenasono; kodwa ngoku abanakuziphendulela ngesono sabo. Lowo undithiyileyo, uyamthiya noBawo. Ukuba bendingenzanga phakathi kwabo imisebenzi engenziwanga mntu wumbi, ngebengenasono. Kungoku ke babonile; noko bandithiyile mna noBawo. Kodwa oku kwenzeke ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi elibhaliweyo emthethweni wabo, ‘Bandithiya ngaphandle kwesizathu.’ (Joh 15:18-25)
Ukukhanya akuvezi nje ubuhle: ibhenca ububi kwaye isibonisa izinto ezifihlakeleyo ngendlela eziyiyo ngokwenene. Okona kukhanya kuncinane kuseza kukhanya nakubumnyama obunzulu; kwaye oyena mnyama umnyama uya kubonakala mnyama ngakumbi xa kuthelekiswa. Ke, kuyo yonke indalo ehlala ebumnyameni, impendulo yethuku xa evezwe ekukhanyeni ngequbuliso luloyiko kunye nokuphepha.
Ukuphulukana novelwano
Ixhoba lokuqala lempembelelo yobubi kubomi bethu ngokufuthi kukuphelelwa luvelwano ngabanye. Eli liqhinga elithandwayo lokuhlwayela iyantlukwano eluntwini ngokuhlakulela ‘bona’ kunye nathi’ isimo sengqondo; apho ‘bona’ ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo zexabiso elingaphantsi yaye abafanelekanga ukuhlonelwa kunathi’ zi. Ngoko siye sixakeke kukuzingca nokungabi nankathalo ngeemvakalelo nentlalo-ntle yabo basingqongileyo. Nceda uqaphele, nangona kunjalo, ukuba oku akubonisi mbandela wokuziphatha okanye wokomoya. Ukugula kunye nokudinwa ngokulula kunokukhokelela kwiimvakalelo ‘iindawo ezithe tyaba’ ngamaxesha ngamaxesha. Ke phumla okwethutyana kwaye unike umzimba wakho kunye nengqondo yakho indawo yokufumana kwakhona: kodwa ukuba ingxaki iyaqhubeka, funa uncedo.
Ukufumana ‘ukukhaba’ ngaphandle korhwaphilizo
Oku kunzulu ngakumbi, kwaye inokuthatha iindlela ezininzi. Kusoloko kukho imvakalelo yovuyo xa usenza izenzo eziyingozi. Qaphela ukuba ezi nazo zinokuba msulwa; njengokukhwela kwidiphu enkulu: kodwa ukungxama kweadrenaline, okanye ezinye iintshukumo zomzimba, ngokulula kunokukhokelela kwimikhwa ekhobokisayo.
Iintloni kunye nokuzithethelela
Okwangoku, uyazi ukuba kukho undonakele: kodwa awufuni ukuyivuma. Ufuna ukuzithethelela ngezenzo zakho ezimbi. Kwisandle esinye, uqalisa ukuzidelela kwelinye icala, endaweni yokuxhathisa, uqala ukukholelwa ukuba awukwazi ukuzibamba ukuba yile ndlela uyiyo: ukuze nawe ube ‘nguwe’ kwaye ufeze iimfuno zakho.
Ubungqina Bam
Ndiyakucaphukela ukuthetha ngale nto: kodwa yile nto yenzeka kum. Ndandinovelwano kakhulu ndisengumntwana yaye ndandingcungcuthekiswa ‘njengecici’ kunye ‘nokukhala-sana’ ukusuka ekuqaleni kakhulu. Ndasabela ngokuziqinisa ngabom kwabanye kwaye ndibe nesithukuthezi. Ukwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi, Bendinengxaki yokuchama ebhedini, endingazange ndibe nasibindi sokuyixela koontanga bam. Oku kwaqhubeka kwada kwasebutsheni bam, ukwandisa ukuba ndedwa kwam; yaye iingcamango zobufanasini zaba ngqongqo ngakumbi. Ugqirha wayalela ezinye iipilisi (testosterone, Ndiyacinga) ngeenzame zokuyeka ukuchama ebhedini. Umphumo waba kukufikisa ngoko nangoko! Ndaye ndoyika kakhulu emva koko 2 ngobusuku andizange ndivume ukuphinda ndithabathe. Ukuchama ebhedini akuyekanga: kodwa nokwakhiwa kunye nokufun' ukwazi kungekudala kwandikhokelela ekuzivuseleleni njengendlela yokufumana isiqabu okwethutyana.. Ndandicaphukela: kodwa ndaxakwa.
Ukwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi, nangona kunjalo, eli yayilixesha apho kwakusanda kuvela iindaba zokubulawa kwamaMoors. Ngesiqhelo, Ndandingenalo ithuba lokubukela amanyala okanye izinto ezibuhlungu: kodwa ngelo xesha ndandidla ngokuchitha malunga nesiqingatha seyure ntsasa nganye ndihleli phakathi kwamaphephandaba kuloliwe nasebhasini., singena kwiinkcukacha ezimanyumnyezi malunga nokuba lwenziwe njani olu lwaphulo-mthetho, ababulali’ ukonwaba nomnqweno wokwenza ‘ulwaphulo-mthetho olugqibeleleyo’. Yajika ingqondo yam: yaye ndazibona sele ndiphupha ngendlela ekuya kuba yiyo ukuxhaphaza ngolo hlobo kwabanye. Kwaye lonke ixesha 'isidingo’ kuba ukuvuselela ngokwesondo kwakukhula de ndingakwazi ukudlula usuku ngaphandle kwayo.
Ndiyoyika ukucinga ukuba le nto yayiza kuphela njani: kodwa ngenceba ayizange ifike ngaphaya kwenqanaba lokucwangcisa. Kwangaloo nyaka mnye ndaye ndadibana namandla okwenza imimangaliso kaYesu athi ekugqibeleni andiqinisekisa ngobunyani bakhe; kwaye ndamcela ukuba abe yiNkosi yobomi bam. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ukunyanzeliswa kwayeka: kodwa emva koko wabuya nawo wonke amandla elori yeetoni ezilishumi. Kodwa kwezo ntsuku zimbalwa ndandifunde into ebalulekileyo: Ndaxelelwa ukuba ukunyanzelwa kwam kwakunokuba ngumphumo wokukhotyokiswa ziidemon. Loo nto yayivakala ngathi yinkolelo yobudenge kum – ngaphandle kokuba iimpawu zihambelana. Ndazama ukuxhathisa, kodwa akukho nto. Ekugqibeleni, ndiphelelwe lithemba ndathandaza, “NguYesu, ukuba awujongani nale nto ndizakuhlala kuyo ubomi bam bonke!” Ndiye ndamxelela, “Ngegama likaYesu, phuma!” Ndive ngento indikhulula emva kwentloko yam; kwaye ngaphantsi 40 imizuzwana ndakhululeka. Ndalala apho ndipholile kwaye ndikhululekile, ukucinga, “Kweneke ntoni?” Ndiye ndakhululeka ukusukela ngoko.
Andithethi ngale nto ukuba andizange ndihlangabezane nesilingo sesondo. Kwathabatha iminyaka ukuba aphole amanxeba engqondweni nangokweemvakalelo. Ndandicinga ukuba andinakuze ndikwazi ukuhlangabezana neentlobano zesini eziqhelekileyo yaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndihlale ndingatshatanga ubomi bam bonke: kodwa uThixo wayenecebo elingcono. Mna nomfazi wam kutshanje siye sabhiyozela iminyaka engama-50 sitshatile! Sinazo ngoku 3 abantwana kunye 3 abazukulwana beentombi.
Ngaba Ikhona Inqaku Lokungabuyi?
Oku kusizisa kumbuzo obalulekileyo: “Ngaba kukho inqaku lokungabuyi?” Ngaba ubungendawo obuhla bufikelela kwindawo apho bungenakuthinteleka; okanye, Nangona, apho kuba nzima ukumisa ngaphandle kokutshabalalisa abenzi bobubi? Okanye, worse nangoku, kuyenzeka ukuba, njengomngxunya omnyama owoyikekayo, ubungendawo kunye nabo baye babamkela buya kuhlala bukhona kwindawo ethile evaliweyo yendalo kaThixo?
Ukujonga ihlabathi elisingqongileyo, akukho kunqongophala kwemizekeliso yendalo ‘yengongoma yokungabuyi’ okanye ‘ithambeka elimtyibilizi’ umgaqo; ngoko asinakukuphepha ngokulula ukuba oku kuyasebenza nakwindawo yokuziphatha. Yaye imfundiso kaYesu nabafundi bakhe ngokusingisele kwisihogo ibonisa ngamandla ukuba oku kunokuba njalo. Ngokwendalo siyarhoxa kulo mbono. Kanjalo, Okukhona sicamngca ngobubele nothando lukaThixo kokukhona sicekisa ngakumbi umbono size sifune ukukholelwa ukuba uThixo ngewayedale indalo elolo hlobo.. Kodwa, kuthekani ukuba ngenene bekungekho enye indlela enokwenzeka? Kuthekani ukuba ubudlelwane phakathi kothando, ukhetho olukhululekileyo kunye nobubi bokuziphatha ngenene bunjalo ukuba uthando alukwazi ukubakho ngaphandle kobubi obunokwenzeka?
Olunye Ukhetho Olubalulekileyo Esinokulwenza
Kodwa, nangona singenamandla okuzisindisa, kukho ukhetho olulodwa olubalulekileyo olushiyelwe luvulekile kuthi, ukuba siyayifuna ngokwenene. Oko kukukhalela inceba kuThixo. Kodwa zombini ezona zinzima kakhulu yaye olona khetho lulula onokuthi ulwenze.
Olona khetho lunzima
Ngaphandle koncedo lukaThixo, olu khetho alunzima nje; akunakwenzeka. Oko kungenxa yokuba uya kube usiza ngqo ngokuchasene namandla obubi ahlala enyusa impembelelo yawo kususela ebuntwaneni.. Uya kufumana zonke iintlobo zokubongoza kunye neengxoxo ezikuxelela ukuba ungazenzi; ukuba unyanzelekile ukuba usilele; okanye ufuna ixesha elingakumbi lokwenza isigqibo. Awufuni kuyenza le nto kwaphela, okanye uya kufuna ngokufihlakeleyo ukubambelela kuluvo lokuba ungayenza ngokwakho, indlela yakho. Kuyathobisa; ukwamkelwa esidlangalaleni kokusilela kwakho; ube ngumgwebo ochasene nawe; isigwebo sentambo ngokuchasene nawo onke amabhongo kunye nezicwangciso zakho; ukuncama ‘amalungelo akho’ kunye 'nenkululeko'. Kwaye, ukwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi, awuyi kukwazi ukubanga nayiphi na ikhredithi kuyo; awuyi kukwazi nokubanga ukuba ubuncinane unelungelo lokubanga inceba kaThixo. Inceba injalo; ayifanelanga - ngokupheleleyo ngokwengqiqo yalowo uyinikayo.
Olona Khetho lulula kakhulu
Kodwa, kwelinye icala, yinto engenangqondo. “Akasosidenge umntu onikela ngento engenako ukuyigcina ukuze azuze oko angenako ukuphulukana nako.”3 Kwelinye icala lokuncama ‘inkululeko yakho’ kwaye ufela kumabhongo akho amadala kunye neminqweno ukuba ufumane inkululeko yokwenyani kunye nentabalala, ubomi obungunaphakade kwinzaliseko yabo (Jn 8:36 & 10:10). Nangona uza kuYesu ungento yanto ngaphandle komngqibi ongasifanelanga, impendulo yakhe kuwe, “lowo uzayo kum, andisayi kukha ndimlahlele phandle” (Jn 6:37). Kwaye xa sele ufikile, kwaye ungene ebomini bakho, uninike igunya lokuba ngomnye wabantwana bakaThixo (Jn 1:12-13).

Abanye babanga nje ukuba olu luvuko nje lwexeshana kwaye isiphithiphithi esisilindeleyo sonke. Kodwa abanye bayanqumama bacinge ukuba kungenzeka ukuba wonke lo myalelo ungakholelekiyo walatha kwisigqibo sokuba umthetho nenjongo ephakamileyo kakhulu inolawulo olugqibeleleyo kwikamva lethu..
