Alamu yanu imalira, kukudzutsa ku tulo tabwino, mwamtendere. Mumamva ngati mukungobwerera kugona. Simukufuna kutuluka pabedi. Simukufuna kuyang'anizana ndi tsiku. Mumadzifunsa kuti: N'chifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kudzuka? Kumbi nchinthu wuli cho chinguchitika?
Kodi nthawi zina mumamvanso choncho?
Moyo ungamve kukhala wolemera nthaŵi zina. Zinthu monga mavuto a ndalama, chitsenderezo cha mabwenzi, maunansi ovuta, sukulu, kapena ntchito zingamveke ngati zolemetsa zazikulu kwenikweni. Mwinamwake mumaonera nkhani ndipo pambuyo pake mumangokhumudwa ndi mmene zinthu zilili zoipa m'dzikoli. Kumbi nchinthu wuli cho chinguchitika?
"Ife tinabadwa. Timapita kusukulu kuti tipeze ntchito. Timapeza ntchito kuti tipeze ndalama. Timapeza ndalama kuti tikhale ndi moyo. Timapulumuka kuti tipite kuntchito yathu." Kungokhala kuzungulira kosatha kobwerezabwereza mobwerezabwereza.
Kodi mfundo yake ndi yotani?
Umu ndi mmene ndinkaganizira. Moyo unali nkhondo imodzimodziyo tsiku lililonse, ndipo unali wopanda pake ndi wopanda pake. Sindinkaganiza kuti chilichonse chimene ndimachita chingasinthedi, ndipo ndinkaona kuti moyo wanga ulibe tanthauzo lenileni. Ngakhale pamene ndinali kuchita chinachake "chabwino" ndinkamvabe kukhala wopanda kanthu mkati.
Ndinadziŵa kuti payenera kukhala tanthauzo lina m'moyo. Ndinaganiza za zinthu zachibadwa zomwe anthu ambiri amakhala nazo - banja, abwenzi, ntchito yawo, ndalama, ndi zina zotero - ndipo ndinadziwa kuti ngakhale nditapeza zinthu zonsezo sizingandipatse tanthauzo lenileni lomwe ndinali kufunafuna. Ngakhale kuti zinthu zonsezo zingandibweretsere chimwemwe pang'ono, zidzangokhala kwa kanthawi. Mkati mwanga kupanda kanthu kukanakhalabe. Ndinayamba kukayikira kuti ndikakhaladi wosangalala kapena kupeza tanthauzo m'moyo. Ndinadabwa kuti, "kodi mfundo ya moyo ndi yotani?"
Nthawi zonse ndinkapita kutchalitchi kuyambira ndili mwana. Ndinadziwa kuti ndikufuna kukhala Mkhristu ndi kukhala "munthu wabwino", koma ndinapeza kuti patapita nthawi izi nazonso zinamveka zopanda pake popeza ndidakali ndi chopanda pake chomwe sindinathe kufotokoza. Pamene ndinali pamsonkhano wachikristu ndi pamene potsirizira pake ndinapeza yankho.
Wokamba nkhani anafotokoza kuti tikhoza kusintha, tikhoza kukhala munthu watsopano, tikhoza kukhala mbali ya mkwatibwi wa Khristu yomwe ili yopatulika komanso yopanda cholakwa (1 Petro 1:19.) Tili ndi mwayi wabwino kwambiri wokhala pamwenga Khristu n'kukhala munthu watsopano.
Chidutswa chosowa
Zimenezo n'zimene ndinali kusowa! Ndikhoza kukhala munthu watsopano, ndikhoza kusintha. Pamene ndinakhala pamenepo ndinadziwa kuti sindimakonda amene ndinali malinga ndi chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu - zizoloŵezi zanga zadyera, zochita zanga zofulumira, momwe ndimaweruzira mosavuta ena. Izi ndi zakuya mkati mwa chikhalidwe changa, koma ndi thandizo la Yesu ndikhoza kukhala womasuka ku zinthu izi ndikupeza chikhalidwe chatsopano kwathunthu - chikhalidwe chaumulungu! Umenewo ndiwo mfundo ya moyo.
"Mwa awa Iye watipatsa malonjezo aakulu kwambiri ndi amtengo wapatali, kuti kudzera mwa iwo mukhale nawo m'chikhalidwe chaumulungu [chaumulungu], kuthawa chivundi chimene chili m'dziko chifukwa cha zilakolako zoipa." 2 Petro 1:4 (CSB).
Ndinali ndisanamvetsepo kale, koma kupanda kanthu komwe ndinamva mkati mwake kwenikweni kunali kulakalaka kwambiri chinthu chosatha. Kwa chinachake cha mtengo weniweni ndi chofunika chomwe sichikanatha. Pamene izi zinaonekeratu kwa ine zinandipatsa lingaliro latsopano lonse pa moyo. M'malo mongochita "ntchito za tsiku ndi tsiku" ndikungopanga tsiku lonse, ndinkatha kuona tsiku lililonse ngati mwayi wosintha ndi kupeza chinachake chosatha!
Ngati ndikufuna kukhala mbali ya mkwatibwi wa Khristu (Chivumbulutso 21:9) zikutanthauza kuti ndiyenera kudziwa Yesu. Kodi ndimam'dziŵa bwanji Iye? Mwa kumutsatira Iye, mwa kukana chifuniro changa ndi kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu pamene ndiloŵa m'ziyeso ndi ziyeso, monga momwe Iye anachitira.
"Yesu anauza aliyense kuti: "Onse ofuna kubwera pambuyo panga ayenera kukana okha, kutenga mtanda wawo tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi kunditsatira." Luka 9:23 (CEB).
Ntchito yogwira ntchito yopitilira
M'mikhalidwe yanga ya tsiku ndi tsiku, Mulungu angandisonyeze zinthu za ine ndekha zimene ziyenera kusintha. Mwina ndinachita zoipa pano; Ine mwina anali kuyesa flatter munthu kumeneko, etc. Ndikaona ndi kuvomereza zinthu zimenezi ndikhoza kuchitapo kanthu mwachangu, ndikhoza kukhala maso kwambiri nthawi yotsatira ndikabwera mu mkhalidwe womwewo. Mwanjira imeneyi, ndikuyenda mofanana ndi mmene Yesu anayendera pamene Iye anali padziko lapansi. Iyi ndi njira yopita ku chikhalidwe chaumulungu.
"Pamene sitikuyang'ana zinthu zomwe zikuwoneka, koma pazinthu zomwe sizikuwoneka. Pakuti zinthu zimene zimaoneka n'zosakhalitsa, koma zinthu zimene sizioneka n'zosatha." 2 Akorinto 2:18.
Pamene ndikupita tsiku lonse ndikhoza kupemphera kuti ndisangoona mikhalidwe ya tsiku ndi tsiku yomwe ndili, koma kuti ndiwone phindu losatha lomwe ndingapeze kuchokera ku mikhalidwe imeneyo. (Aefeso 1:18.) Chilichonse chimene Mulungu amatumiza njira yanga ndi mwayi wokhala womasuka ku zilakolako zanga zauchimo, ndi kupeza zipatso zambiri za Mzimu.
Ndikalowa mu mkhalidwe umene ndimaona chinachake mwa ine ndekha chomwe ndikudziwa kuti ndi chochimwa, ndikhoza kupemphera kwa Yesu kuti andipatse mphamvu kuti ndikane chinthu chimene ndimaona mwa ine ndekha. Ndikachita zimenezi mu mkhalidwe uliwonse umene Mulungu amanditumizira, ndidzasintha, pang'ono ndi pang'ono, ndi kukhala wofanana kwambiri ndi Iye. Ndikukonzekera umuyaya.
"Dziko ndi zonse zili mmenemo zimene anthu akufuna zikuchoka; koma amene amachita chifuniro cha Mulungu adzakhala ndi moyo kosatha." 1 Yohane 2:17 (GNT).
Moyo suli ponena za ntchito imene ndimachita kapena mmene mikhalidwe yanga ya tsiku ndi tsiku iliri, koma ponena za kugwiritsira ntchito mikhalidwe imene Mulungu amandipatsa kuti ndisinthe kuchoka pa mmene ndiriri kukhala munthu watsopano kotheratu! Izi zimandipatsa chifukwa chodzuka pabedi m'mawa uliwonse! Zimenezi zimabweretsa tanthauzo lenileni m'moyo wanga!
"Tonsefe timasonyeza ulemerero wa Ambuye, ndipo tikusinthidwa kuti tikhale ngati iye. Kusintha kumeneku mwa ife kumabweretsa ulemerero waukulu nthawi zonse, umene umachokera kwa Ambuye, amene ali Mzimu." 2 Akorinto 3:18 (NCV).
