Ndikuganiza za mnzanga wakale wokondedwa. Poyamba anali wodzala ndi mphamvu, ndi wolankhula, iye kwakukulukulu ali chete tsopano.
Thupi lake ndi lakale ndipo maganizo ake afooka. Iye, yemwe poyamba anali wopezera chakudya m'nyumbamo, oyendetsa, munthu amene anakonza chilichonse chofunikira kukonza, tsopano amadalira thandizo pa ntchito zosavuta za moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku. Nthaŵi zina amafotokoza nkhani kuyambira ali mwana, koma malingaliro akuchedwa.
Koma iye ali wodzala ndi chiyamikiro. Nkhope yake imawala ndi chimwemwe. Mawu amene timamva nthawi zambiri ndi akuti, "Zikomo!" ndiponso akuti "Ndikuthokoza kwambiri!" Kodi sizikuwoneka zachilendo? Munthu amene wataya ufulu wake, amene makamaka amakhala pampando tsiku lonse, akuyamikira kwambiri?
Chinsinsi cha kuyamikira kwake
Kodi chinsinsi cha moyo uno n'chiyani, chimwemwe chimenechi? Pamene anali mnyamata anamva kuti akhoza kutsatira mapazi a Yesu, Iye amene sanachite tchimo, monga akunenera pa 1 Petro 2:21-22, "Chifukwa cha ichi munaitanidwa, chifukwa Khristu nayenso anavutika chifukwa cha ife, kutisiyira chitsanzo, kuti mutsatire mapazi Ake: 'Amene sanachite tchimo, kapena chinyengo chinapezeka m'kamwa Mwake.'"
Vesi lodabwitsali komanso lamphamvu linamutsegulira dziko latsopano. Iye anali atakhala Mkristu kale, koma anapitirizabe kuchita zinthu zimene anadziŵa kuti zinali zolakwika, ndipo anangotembenukira kwa Yesu kuti akhululukidwe. Tsopano anaphunzira kutsatiradi Yesu: sitepe ndi sitepe, akumanena kuti Ayi ku tchimo limene anayesedwa. (Luka 9:23.) M'malo mobwera pamtanda nthawi yonse kuti akhululukidwe, akhoza kutenga mtanda wake ndikufika pa moyo wogonjetsa. Moyo umene, kupyolera mwa thandizo ndi nyonga yochokera kwa Mulungu, iye sanafunikanso kuchimwa!
Inali nkhondo; zinatenga nthawi, koma sanagonje. M'kupita kwa nthaŵi, anakhala wosangalala kwambiri. Ndipo anthu amene anali nawo anayamba kuona zotsatira zake. Mwamuna ameneyu, amene ankakonda kukwiyira ana ake, anakhala wofatsa ndi wokoma mtima kwa iwo. M'malo modandaula, anakhala munthu wosangalala.
Kuchotsa kunyada, kuuma mtima, kudzifunafuna ndi machimo ena alionse omwe Mzimu anasonyeza, anawononga chinachake. Anayenera kusiya chifuniro chake ndi malingaliro ake amene anali otsutsana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu. Sizinachitike zokha. Sizinabwere mosavuta. Inali nkhondo imene inafunikira kukhulupirika kotheratu, mphindi iriyonse ya tsiku lililonse. Kodi zinali zoyenera?
Zotsatira za moyo wokhulupirika
Nkhope yake yokhutira yosangalatsa imapereka yankho. Mukamufunsa mmene alili masiku ano, yankho nthawi zonse ndi lakuti "chabwino!" Si yankho lapamwamba; iye amatanthauzadi. Tsiku lililonse ndi tsiku labwino. Palibe chizindikiro cha kudandaula, kuwawidwa mtima, kapena kupanda chimwemwe. Izi ndi zotsatira za ntchito yomwe inachitika mkati mwake pa moyo wake. Iye ali wodzala ndi mpumulo ndi mtendere umene umachokera ku moyo wokhulupirika kwa Mulungu wake.
Ndikamuganizira nthawi zambiri ndimakumbutsidwa mawu a pa 1 Petulo 3:10-11: "Ngati mukufuna kusangalala ndi moyo ndi kuona masiku ambiri osangalala, lilime lanu lisalankhule zoipa ndi milomo yanu kuti lisalankhule mabodza. Chokani pa zoipa ndi kuchita zabwino. Fufuzani mtendere, ndipo yesetsani kuusunga."
"Mulungu wachita ntchito mwa ine," akutero akumwetulira kwambiri. Ndi njira yabwino chotani nanga yothera zaka zake zomalizira pano padziko lapansi! Poyembekezera mwachimwemwe mphotho yosatha iye adzalandira kaamba ka moyo wotumikira Mulungu.
