Uthando LunguMuntuIsampula

Ubudlelwano bebungaba lula ukube bekungebona abantu. Isitatimende esihlekisayo, kodwa sinembile!

Ngisho nobudlelwano obuhle kakhulu kungaba nzima ukubulawula. Phela, singabantu abangaphelele abazama ukuhlalisana, futhi lapho ubuhlobo bukhula buba nzima nakakhulu.

Sonke sinezindlela zethu-imikhuba yethu kanye nezici zethu. “Indlela yethu” ukuthi kanjani, nini, noma kungani senza izinto noma sicabange ukuthi kufanele zenziwe. Izithandani eziningi ezishadile azivumelani ngendlela amathishu alenga ngayo, ukuthi amathawula nezikibha kufanele zigoqwe kanjani, indlela yokuqeqesha izingane, izinga lokushisa le-thermostat. Izingane zinezindlela zazo futhi ngokuvamile ziphambene nezabazali. Siyazithanda izindlela zethu. Isikhathi esiningi sikholelwa ukuthi "indlela yami ilungile, futhi indlela yakho ayiyona!" 

Lapho indlela yakho idlula endleleni yami, kuvame ukungqubuzana nokungezwani. Kodwa ukukhetha ukwenza uthando kwenzeka ezimpambanweni zendlela yakho neyomunye. Kulokhu kuphambana kwezindlela, 1 KwabaseKorinte 13:5 NLT isikhumbuza, “Uthando alufuni eyalo indlela.”

Uma silandela futhi sivumelana nendlela kaNkulunkulu, izindlela zethu ziphelelwa amandla phezu kwethu. Njengoba siqondana Naye futhi silahla ilungelo lethu lokuba abalungile, sithola inkululeko ekubeni kungadingeki “siwine” njalo. Uthando lukhetha ukudumisa uNkulunkulu kunokukhetha ukuba nezwi lokugcina noma ukulunga. Phela uma siphusha ukuze siwine noma silunge, omunye umuntu kufanele ahlulwe futhi okuwukuphela kwento ephumelelayo ukuziqhenya kwethu. Sithola ukukhetha ukuthi si yawina, noma uthando luyawina, ngoba 1 KwabaseKorinte 13:5 TPT iqhubeka ithi, “Uthando aluzifuneli udumo lwalo ngokwalo.”.

Igama elithi udumo lisekelwe ebuhleni nasenkazimulweni. Isimo sakho sengqondo sokuhlonipha omunye sibaphakamisa ngaphezu kwezifiso, imibono, nezindlela zakho, futhi esikhundleni salokho, sibanikeza isikhundla esiphakeme. 

Ukuhlonipha nokwazisa omunye kucindezela kakhulu ubumnyama bendawo yomoya kuveza amandla acishe abe ngokoqobo njengoba sinikeza lowo muntu indawo yokuba yilokho uNkulunkulu amdala ukuba yikho. Uthando, ngendlela yodumo oluboniswa omunye, nalo ludumisa uNkulunkulu futhi lumvulele indawo.

Ukunika umuntu udumo, ikakhulukazi lapho engakufanelekeli, kuvumela ububele bukaNkulunkulu obuyisimangaliso ukuba bungene ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuze sikwazi ukubona lowo muntu ngendlela ambona ngayo—okhethiwe, othandwayo, nohlonishwa kakhulu, odalwe ngomfanekiso wakhe. Ukukhombisa kwethu uthando Lwakhe kubo kwakha indawo yokwethenjwa, ukuphepha, kanye nokuphepha.

Lapho siqonda futhi samukela inani elikhulu uNkulunkulu analo ngathi, siyakwazi futhi sizimisele ukudumisa abanye ngamandla Akhe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kunzima kangakanani.

“Niyakukhazimulisa uNkulunkulu lapho namukelana ningenisa njengabahlanganyeli, njengalokho oGcotshiweyo enamukele ngokugcwele, enamukela njengomhlanganyeli wakhe. KwabaseRoma 15:7 TPT
