"Koma chipatso cha mzimu ndi chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, kukoma mtima, ubwino, kukhulupirika, kufatsa, kudziletsa." Agalatiya 5:22-23.
Ndikufuna kupereka umboni wanga waumwini wa mmene zipatso za mtendere ndi chimwemwe zinakulira m'moyo wanga.
Wachinyamata komanso oganiza bwino
Pamene ndinali wamng'ono ndi wokwatiwa chatsopano, ndinali ndi malingaliro ambiri a mmene moyo udzakhalire. Ndinadziŵa kumene ndi mmene ndingalerere banja, mmene mwamuna wanga "ayenera" kukhalira, mmene tidzathera madzulo athu ndi mmene ana anga amtsogolo adzakhalire angwiro. Ndinkaganiza kuti moyo wanga udzakhala wangwiro komanso kuti ndili ndi mphamvu zopangitsa zimenezo kuchitika. Ndinakhulupiriradi zimenezi.
Ndithudi, moyo weniweni uli ndi mavuto ake, ndipo palibe chinthu chotchedwa moyo wangwiro. Sitikanatha kukhala kumene ndikanakonda; mwamuna wanga anayenera kugwira ntchito maola ambiri; ana obadwa kwa ife sanali angelo ndipo anafunikira chisamaliro changa usana ndi usiku; Sindikanatha ngakhale kusunga nyumba yanga kukhala yoyera monga momwe ndikanafunira. Zinkaoneka ngati kuti zonse zimene ndingachite zinali kuphika chakudya ndi kusunga aliyense wamoyo. Ndinkaona kuti ndine wopanda pake. Ndinali wotopa, komanso wosasangalala, ndikuyesera kulenga "moyo wanga wangwiro".
Ndimakumbukirabe bwino lomwe mmene ndinapanikizika kwambiri. Mmene mutu wanga unapweteka chifukwa chofufuza njira zokwaniritsira maloto anga, pamene moyo wanga wa tsiku ndi tsiku unatenga chidwi changa chonse ndi mphamvu. Pamene ndinayesa kwambiri kulamulira mikhalidwe yanga, m'pamenenso ndinakhala wosaleza mtima kwambiri. Pamene thupi langa linamva kukhala lopsinjika kwambiri, m'pamenenso moyo wanga weniweni unayipa kwambiri. Sindinathe kupanga moyo wanga kukhala umene ndinkafuna, ndipo ndinalibe mtendere ndi chimwemwe. Kuchokera kunja kunawoneka ngati zonse zinali bwino ndipo ndiyenera kukhala wosangalala, koma ndinakhumudwa ndi kusasangalala. Ndinkaganiza kuti ngati moyo wanga ukhoza kungokhala mmene ndinkafunira, zingandisangalatse kwambiri.
Kulakalaka mtendere ndi chimwemwe
Ndinalakalaka kukhala ndi mtendere ndi chimwemwe koma sindinaupeze. Simungathe kupeza chipatso cha mzimu mwa kulinganiza moyo wanu m'njira inayake. Ndinafunadi kukhala ndi zipatso zimenezo ndipo ndinafunikira kudzichepetsa ndi kupempha Mulungu kuti andisonyeze chochita. Ndinapemphera nthaŵi zambiri m'zaka zimenezo. Ndinapitirizabe kubwerera kwa Mulungu mobwerezabwereza kuti ndipeze nyonga imene ndinafunikira. Mukudziwa mmene Baibulo limalankhulira za kupita ku mpando wachifumu wachisomo.
Chotulukapo cha kusoŵa kwanga chinali chakuti mapemphero anga anayankhidwa. Mulungu anandisonyeza kuti chifukwa chimene ndinalibe mtendere ndi chimwemwe chinali chifukwa chakuti ndinali kugwira cholinga changa cha "moyo wangwiro" ndi "banja langwiro," m'malo mofunafuna chifuniro Chake cha moyo wanga. Ndinkaganiza kuti ndikudziwa zimene ndikufuna, koma zoona zake n'zakuti ndinkafunika chinachake chosiyana kwambiri kuti ndikule mwauzimu. Ndinafunikira kuleka ndi kungotenga tsiku lililonse monga momwe limabwera ndi kukhala wofunitsitsa kukhala ndi moyo wanga monga momwe Mulungu anakonzera. Ndinayenera kuvomereza zinthu monga momwe zilili "tsopano" m'malo mwa "zimene ndinkaganiza kuti ziyenera kukhala."
Mavesi amenewa anandithandiza kwambiri:
"Tikudziwa kuti zinthu zonse zimagwira ntchito limodzi kuti anthu amene amakonda Mulungu akhale abwino - amene wawaitana mogwirizana ndi dongosolo lake." Aroma 8:28 (GWT).
"Choncho, anthu amene akuvutika chifukwa chotsatira chifuniro cha Mulungu ayenera kudzipereka [kupereka] miyoyo yawo kwa mlengi wodalirika mwa kuchita zabwino." 1 Petro 4:19 (CEB).
Ndinalola Mulungu kuumba moyo wanga
Ndinapereka moyo wanga kwa Mulungu ndi kumulola Iye kuumba moyo wanga monga Iye akufuna, osati monga ine ndikuganiza kuti ziyenera kukhala. Ndimalola Mulungu kulamulira. Kupweteka kwa mutu kwanga ndi nkhawa zanga zinachoka ndipo ndinayamba kupeza mtendere pamene ndinkakhulupirira Mulungu ndipo sindinayesenso, m'njira yanga yaumunthu, kukhala wangwiro. Tsiku lililonse pamene ndinadzichepetsa kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu, chimwemwe changa chinabwerera. Kwenikweni, chinali chimwemwe chatsopano, chimwemwe chachikulu!
Palibe chokoma kuposa kupereka chifuniro changa kwa Mulungu ndi kumulola Iye kusamalira nkhawa zanga. Sindinasowepo chilichonse, ndipo ndikusangalala! Ndikupitiriza kupereka moyo wanga kwa Iye mwa kuchita zabwino. Moyo sunali wolemera. Sitinafunikira konse kulamulira icho. Imeneyo ndi ntchito ya Mulungu. Ntchito yanga ndi kukhala mokhulupirika mu zimene Iye akukonzekera kwa ine, tsiku limodzi pa nthawi.
"Bwerani kwa ine nonsenu amene mukuvutika kwambiri ndi kunyamula katundu wolemera, ndipo ndidzakupatsani mpumulo. Ikani goli langa, ndipo phunzirani kwa ine. Ndine wofatsa komanso wodzichepetsa. Ndipo mudzapeza mpumulo kwa inu nokha. Goli langa ndi losavuta kunyamula, ndipo katundu wanga ndi wopepuka." Mathew 11:28-30 (CEB).
Ndikuyembekezera m'tsogolo, ndipo ndikufuna kudziwa zimene Mulungu wakonzera moyo wanga. Ndikuthokoza kwambiri kudziwa mfungulo yeniyeni ya mtendere ndi chimwemwe, komanso kuti zilibe kanthu ndi zomwe ndimatha!
