UNKULUNKULU UKUKHETHILE
“Makabongwe uNkulunkulu, uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu osibusisile ezulwini kuKristu ngesibusiso sonke sokomoya. Njengalokho asikhethela kuye ngothando ngaphambi kokusekelwa kwezwe ukuba sibe ngcwele, singabi nakusolwa phambi kwakhe; wasimisela ngaphambili ukuba sibe ngabantwana kuye ngoJesu Kristu, njengalokho kwaba kuhle kuye ngentando yakhe, ukuze kutuswe inkazimulo yomusa wakhe asiphe wona ngesihle ngaye oThandiweyo." Kwabase-Efesu 1:3-6 CSB
“Christine?” Kubuza umama. “Njengoba sikhuluma iqiniso, ungathanda ukwazi lonke iqiniso?”
Ngangineminyaka engu-33 ngaleso sikhathi, futhi ngangazi ukuthi indlela umama ayebuze ngayo lowo mbuzo yayingasho into eyodwa kuphela.
Ngagijima ngaya endlini yakhe ukuze ngingenelele kulokho engangikwazi ukuthi kwakungeke kube yiqiniso. Umfowethu, uGeorge, wayethole incwadi ethi waye-adopthiwe. Ngangingene emnyango ongaphambili kamama ngesikhathi uGeorge emnika leyo ncwadi.
Angisoze ngakhohlwa izandla zakhe ziqala ukuvevezela. Uvalo olwalugcwele amehlo akhe. Ukulahlekelwa amazwi ayengakaze abe nawo. Futhi-ke izinyembezi ezaqala ukugeleza ngokungapheli, zivela kithi sonke.
Lapho ethola izwi lakhe, ngezwa inhliziyo yakhe iphuka. “Ngiyaxolisa kakhulu ngokuthi uthole kanje, George. Besingahlosile ukukuzwisa ubuhlungu. Ubaba wakho ubekuthanda. Ngiyakuthanda. Bengingeke ngikuthande ngokwedlulele ukube ngakuzala mina.”
Ngikhumbula ngiya ekhishini, ngendlala itafula ngokudla, ngoba kunendlela eyodwa imindeni yamaGreki exazulula ngayo zonke izinhlobo zezinkinga: siyadla.
Kwathi lapho ngifinyelela ibhaklava lapho uMama wangibuza lowo mbuzo obaluleke kakhulu, futhi ngandlela-thile, ngangazi. Ngavele ngazi. Ngiphendla amehlo akhe ukuze ngithole impendulo, ngifuna kube yinoma yini enye ngaphandle kwalokhu engangikucabanga, ngazithola sengisho kuye: “Ingabe nami ngi-adopthiwe.”
Emizuzwini embalwa kamuva, washo amazwi amnandi kakhulu kimi. Amazwi aletha ukuphulukiswa okunjalo. Waze wawaphinda kimi emasontweni alandelayo…
“Ngakuthanda ngingakakwazi.”
Kuze kube namuhla, ngiyawazisa lawo mazwi. Kwakuyinhliziyo kamama engazisa ukuthi wayengilangazelela, wangifuna, futhi wangikhetha, nangaphambi kokuba abeke amehlo kimi.
Uma ngicabanga ngalawo mazwi, angikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ngizwe inhliziyo kaBaba wami oseZulwini, lowo obelokhu engifuna, futhi. Lowo owangikhetha kudala ngaphambi kokuba umama angikhethe.
Yena kanye Lowo okukhethile.
UMKHULEKO
Nkulunkulu, ngiyabonga ngokungikhetha njengendodakazi yakho, nomuntu ozothwala indodana yakho uJesu emhlabeni wami. Ngithandazela ukuthi unginike amandla nesibindi sokungaboni nje abanye ngendlela obabona ngayo, kodwa ngiphume ngokholo futhi ngifinyelele kubo ngothando lwakho. Ukuze ubasize bazizwe bekhethwe nguwe. AmenI.
