Mofanana ndi ambiri a ife, ndakhala ndikuyesedwa ku malingaliro amdima ndi olemera m'moyo wanga: malingaliro a kudzimvera chisoni ndi kukhala wosasangalala ndi mikhalidwe yanga. Koma, ndapezanso kuti Mulungu ndi Mawu Ake ndi oona kwa moyo wanga.
Mulungu wandipatsa zinthu zambiri. Ndili ndi ntchito yabwino, malo abwino okhala ndi abwenzi abwino. Ndili ndi zinthu zambiri zoyamikira.
Kuyesedwa kuda nkhawa
Koma ndimakhala pamalo amene nthawi zambiri kumakhala kuzizira, ndipo thambo limakhala imvi. Nthawi zina, zimakhala ngati zimandipanikiza pamodzi ndi zovuta zina zonse m'moyo wanga - ngongole zomwe ndikuyenera kulipira, masiku ovuta kuntchito, ndi mitundu yonse ya nkhawa zina. Ndizodabwitsa kuti pali zinthu zingati zomwe ndikuganiza kuti ziyenera kukhala zosiyana: nyengo iyenera kukhala yosiyana, ndiyenera kukhala ndi ntchito yabwino, ndipo chifukwa chiyani ndidakali wosakwatiwa? N'zosavuta kumva chisoni komanso kusasangalala.
Koma pali uthenga wabwino! Ndikapeza malingaliro olemera awa ponena za moyo wanga, ndipo pamene ndikuganiza kuti moyo uyenera kukhala wosiyana ndi momwe uliri, sindiyenera kupereka malingaliro amenewo. Choyamba, ndine wophunzira wa Yesu Kristu. Ndapereka moyo wanga kwa Mulungu—zonse. Ndipo kodi ndimabwezera chiyani? Chilichonse. Ndilibe chifukwa chodandaulira.
Yesu watitikambiya kuti, "Goli langu lingundivuta kusenza, ndipu katundu yo ndikupatsani ndi wopepuka." —Mateyu 11:30 (NLT). Poyambirira, Iye akuti, "Funani Ufumu wa Mulungu koposa zonse, ndipo khalani ndi moyo wolungama, ndipo Iye adzakupatsani zonse zimene mukufuna." Mateyu 6:33 (NLT). Pamene ndifunafuna Mulungu pamwamba pa zonse, Iye adzaonetsetsa kuti ndili ndi zomwe ndikufunikira pa moyo wanga ndi chitukuko changa chauzimu.
Ndithudi, iyi si njira yachibadwa yoganizira. N'kwachibadwa kudandaula, kuganiza kuti mwina Mulungu analakwitsa zinthu ndi kuti moyo wanga uyenera kukhala wosiyana. Ndiyenera kulimbana ndi zomwe thupi langa ndi malingaliro anga akufuna kuchita, ndipo nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kwambiri. Ndiyenera kupemphera mobwerezabwereza kuti, "Mulungu, ndithandizeni kukhala wokhulupirika! Ndithandizeni kuyamikira chilichonse!"
Ndipo kenako ndikufunika kungokhulupirira ndi kumvera lamulo la Mulungu pamene limati, "musadandaule ndi chilichonse!" Afilipi 4:6, NLT. Ngati ndimakhulupirira kuti Mulungu amandifunira zabwino masiku abwino, kodi si zoona pa masiku oipa?
Mulungu amadziwa zimene ndikufuna
Sindifunikira konse kupereka malingaliro amdima ndi olemera a kudzimvera chisoni, a kupanda chimwemwe. Anthu ambiri amavutika ndi zinthu zimenezi, koma ine sindiyenera kukhala. Chifukwa? Chifukwa ndimakhulupirira kuti moyo wanga sumatha ndikadzafa, koma kuti ndidzakhalanso ndi moyo, kumwamba. Ndikukhulupirira kuti moyo pano ndi nthawi yophunzitsira kwamuyaya - kuti ndikukonzekera kumwamba. Nthawi iliyonse ine, mwa thandizo la Mzimu Woyera ndi mphamvu, ndikunena kuti Ayi ku malingaliro amenewo a nkhawa ndi zipolowe, ndili sitepe imodzi pafupi kukhala womasuka kwa iwo kosatha. Ndipo zomwe ndapeza ndizoyamikira kwambiri komanso zenizeni mumtima mwanga pa chilichonse.
Zingamveke zachilendo, koma mikhalidwe yomwe ikuwoneka yolemera komanso yopanda chilungamo yandipangitsa kuyamikira Mulungu, chifukwa ndikutha kuona kuti alidi abwino kwambiri.
Mulungu amadziwa zomwe ndikufuna ndipo ndikhoza kuchitira umboni izi: Ngati mupereka zonse kwa Mulungu, Iye adzakupatsani zonse kubwezera. Mwina sizingakhale zonse zomwe mukufuna, koma zidzakhala zonse zomwe mukufuna. Moyo umenewu umene ndikukhala monga wophunzira wa Yesu umandisangalatsa kwambiri kuposa mmene ndingafotokozere ndi mawu. Ndi chimwemwe chenicheni, chenicheni kukhala ndi moyo motere.
