"Kodi tsogolo lanu likuoneka bwanji? Kodi mwakonza moyo wanu?" Ine ndi mnzangayo tinakhala pamodzi m'lesitilanti, ndipo ndinayenera kuima ndi kuganiza ndisanamuyankhe.
Kutsidya lina la msewu ndinaona mwamuna wosauka kwambiri, wokalamba. Iye anangokhala pamenepo, ndipo zinali zoonekeratu kuti anali ataledzera. Mnzangayo anapitiriza kuti, "Tiyenera kuganizira zimene tikufuna kukwaniritsa pa moyo wathu. N'zoona kuti ntchito yathu imabwera patsogolo, koma tiyenera kuganiziranso za moyo wathu waumwini." Anamwa chakumwa chake chozizira. "Ndipo tsiku lina mwina ndingakhale ndi ana!"
Anandiyang'ana n'kundifunsa kuti: "Kodi mulibe zolinga zilizonse? Kodi moyo wanu udzakhala wotani m'zaka 10?"
Zili m'manja mwa Mulungu
Ndinamwa mowa wanga wozizira kuti ndipambane nthawi ina ndisanayankhe. "Ndimakonda lingaliro loyang'ana mtsogolo," ndinatero. Ndinaona mnzanga akumwetulira ndipo ndikufuna kudziwa zambiri. 'Kodi ndimaika bwanji maganizo anga m'mawu?' Ndinaganiza. 'Kodi adzandimvetsa?' Ndinapuma kwambiri n'kunena kuti, "Ndili ndi zolinga zina, koma chinthu chachikulu kwa ine ndicho kupeza chimene Mulungu amafuna pa moyo wanga. Choncho sindingakupatseni yankho lolunjika kwambiri pa funso lanu, koma ndikudziwa kuti ndidzasangalala."
Ndinaona kukayikira m'maso mwake. "Kodi mungakhale bwanji otsimikiza choncho za zimenezo?"
Ndinayankha modekha kuti, "Ndimakhulupirira kuti Mulungu adzandisonyeza njira yoyenera ndi kundithandiza pa zosankha zanga. Ndipo chilichonse chimene moyo umabweretsa – n'zosatheka kudziwa tsopano zimene moyo udzabweretse – ndidzautenga m'manja Mwake."
Iye ankaoneka ngati akundikayikira kenako n'kundifunsa kuti, "Koma bwanji ngati zinthu zikulakwika?"
Kukhulupirira Mulungu mosavuta
Ndinayang'ananso mwamuna wokalambayo atakhala tsidya lina la msewu, ndipo ndinayamba kuganizira za anthu ena okalamba omwe ndimawadziwa - anthu oopa Mulungu, osangalala, odzaza ndi nzeru. "Zinthu sizidzalakwika," ndinatero motsimikiza. "Ngati ndingokhulupirira Mulungu, Iye sadzalola ena kuti athe kundiloza ndi kunena kuti, 'Ha, ha, taonani mmene zamuyendera moipa, amene ananena kuti amakhulupirira Mulungu!' Ayi, Mulungu ali ndi mphamvu zonse kumwamba ndi padziko lapansi. Sadzakhumudwitsa aliyense amene amamukhulupirira."
Anali chete ndipo anangondiyang'ana. Koma ndikuganiza kuti anamvetsetsa zimene ndinali kuyesa kunena.
Ndinamva kuyamikira ndi chimwemwe pamene tinakhala pamenepo ndi kupitiriza kulankhula za miyoyo yathu ndi zinthu zina zimene zinatisangalatsa. N'zosangalatsa kuti ndingakhulupirire Mulungu, amene adzandisamalira nthawi zonse ndiponso amene ndingapemphe thandizo ndi malangizo nthawi zonse. – Komanso ndi chimwemwe kuti ndinatha kuuza mnzanga za izo.
Sindikudziwa ngati nayenso akufuna kukhulupirira Mulungu, koma pamene tinatsanzikana pang'ono pambuyo pake, anandikupatira kwambiri n'kunena kuti, "Ndikuyembekezera kale kuona mmene moyo wanu uliri m'zaka 10!"
Nditatsegula Baibulo langa madzulo amenewo, ndinaona vesi la pa Yeremiya 29:11: "'Ndikunena izi chifukwa ndikudziwa zimene ndikukonzerani,' watero Yehova. ' Ndili ndi mapulani abwino kwa inu, osati zolinga zokupwetekani. Ndidzakupatsani chiyembekezo ndi tsogolo labwino.'"
