Ndinakhala m'kalasi, ndikumva kugona pang'ono komanso kumvetsera theka lokha pamene mphunzitsiyo ankalankhula za zochitika za dziko. Koma chidwi changa chinabwezeretsedwa kwambiri pamene ndinamva akufunsa kuti: N'chifukwa chiyani mukuganiza kuti padakali nkhondo ndi mikangano yambiri padziko lonse?"
Panali chete pamene ophunzira analingalira za funso limeneli ndi mayankho ambiri othekera.
"Dyera," wophunzira wina anatero. "Umphawi," anatero wina. Mphunzitsiyo anagwedeza mutu. "Zimenezo n'zolondolanso, koma pali mfundo ina imene ndikufuna kulankhula." Potsirizira pake mnyamata wina anakweza dzanja lake, "Chifukwa chakuti anthu ambiri amakhulupirira kuti nthawi zonse amakhala olondola, ndipo ena akapanda kugwirizana nawo, sadzagonja." "Kapena," mtsikana wina anatero, "mbali imodzi ili bwino ndipo ina singavomereze." Mphunzitsiyo anagwedeza mutu kuti, "Ndipo n'chifukwa chiyani zimakhala zovuta kwambiri kugwirizana ndi mnzakeyo?"
Kodi n'chiyani chimayambitsa mavuto?
Pamene ndinkaganizira za mikangano yosatha ndi nkhondo zomwe timamva tsiku ndi tsiku, ndinkadabwa kuti, "Bwanji za kusagwirizana konse ndi mikangano yomwe imayamba yaing'ono m'moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku wa munthu?" Ndinakumbukira kukambitsirana kosakondweretsa komwe ndinali nako ndi munthu wina poyamba, ndi mmene ndinamvera chisoni pambuyo pake. "N'chiyani chinachititsa zimenezo?" Ndinadzifunsa motero. "N'chifukwa chiyani zimandivuta kwambiri kukonda anthu ena ndi kukhala nawo paubwenzi, kapena kuvomereza kuti sindili bwino?"
Kenako ndinakumbukira vesi lina m'Baibulo, la pa 1 Akorinto 13:4 (ESV): "Chikondi ... si wodzikuza." Ndinazindikira kuti sindinapeze "mtendere ndi mgwirizano" ndi munthu ameneyu chifukwa cha kudzikonda kwanga, kunyada kwanga. Ndinkakhulupirira kuti ndine wolondola ndipo ndinadziteteza, m'malo mopempha Mulungu kuti andithandize ndi kugwiritsa ntchito nzeru Zake m'malo mwanga. Ndinakhulupirira kudzikonda kwanga m'malo mwa Mulungu, kumene kunali kulakwa kwakukulu ndipo kunayambitsa kusagwirizanako.
Chidziwitso chimapangitsa anthu kudzikuza
Mphamvu yokhayo yomwe ingamange ndikuwongolera zinthu ndi chikondi. Mulungu sangandithandize ngati ndine wonyada ndi wodzikuza kwambiri moti sindingathe kumva mawu Ake pamene Iye akufuna kundiuza chinachake. Ndiye n'zosatheka kuti ndizikonda Mulungu ndi anthu ena.
Mu 1 Akorinto 8:1-2 (GW) limati: "Chidziwitso chimachititsa anthu kudzikuza, koma chikondi chimawamanga. Anthu amene amaganiza kuti akudziwa chinachake adakali ndi zambiri zoti aphunzire." Ndiyenera kudzifunsa kuti, "Kodi ndi chiyani chimene ndikudziwadi? Kodi ndafunsa Mulungu zimene Iye amaganiza? Kodi ndikukhulupirira kuti Iye amadziwa bwino?" Ngati ndikukhulupiriradi kuti nzeru zonse zimachokera kumwamba, ndiye kuti ndidzakhala wodzichepetsa m'maso mwanga ndikuvomereza kuti ndili ndi chikhalidwe chaumunthu chochimwa chomwe palibe chabwino. (Aroma 7:18.)
Nzeru za Mulungu
Chibadwa changa chaumunthu chochimwa ndi chifukwa chake sindingathe kudziwona ndekha ndi anthu ena molondola, monga momwe Mulungu amationera. Koma ngati ndimvetsetsadi ndi kuvomereza zimenezi, ndingapemphe Mulungu kaamba ka nzeru Zake. Ndipo gwiritsani ntchito nzeru Zake kuti mupange mtendere m'mikhalidwe yonse, mosasamala kanthu kuti ndi mbali iti yomwe ili yabwino kapena yolakwika, m'malo mongolola kuti mkanganowo ukhale woipa kwambiri.
"... ponena za chidziwitso, chidzafika kumapeto." 1 Akorinto 13:8 (NRS). Chidziwitso chingakondweretse anthu ndipo mwina adzakulemekezani chifukwa cha izo, koma ndi kanthawi kokha, zidzafika kumapeto. Ndipo sizibweretsa mtendere kapena kundithandiza kudalitsa ndi kukonda ena. Zingakhale zothandiza tikamazigwiritsa ntchito m'mikhalidwe yothandiza, koma sizikundisonyeza mmene ndingachitire ndi chikondi choyera ndi choyaka moto kwa Mulungu ndi anthu onse monga momwe Yesu anachitira.
Ngati ndidzichepetsa ndi kulandira nzeru za Mulungu m'mikhalidwe yanga, chikondi changa chidzakula ndi kukula! Pamenepo ndidzakhala wopanga mtendere weniweni kulikonse kumene ndipita.
