Koma Mulungu sanatilenge kuti tikhale ofanana. Iye analenga aliyense wa ife ndi umunthu wapadera, maluso, ndi mphatso. Mikhalidwe yapadera. Ndipo inde, zimenezo zimaphatikizapo ine.

"Pakuti ndife luso la Mulungu. Iye watilenga mwatsopano mwa Khristu Yesu, choncho tikhoza kuchita zinthu zabwino zimene anatikonzera kalekale." Aefeso 2:10.
Choncho ndikayesedwa kuti ndiziyerekezera ndi anthu ena, ndimadziwa zimene ndiyenera kuchita. Ndimapemphera kwa Mulungu kuti Iye andithandize: "Zikomo Mulungu, kuti mwandipanga ine monga ine. Ndithandizeni kukhala wodzichepetsa kuti ndione mmene ndingatsatire Yesu m'ntchito zimene zandikonzera."
