Pamene ndinali ndi zaka za m'ma 20, zinthu zina zinachitika zimene zinandichititsa kuyamba kudabwa za Mulungu.

Koma ndinafika pa nthawi ina m'moyo wanga pomwe ndinkafunikira chinachake - sindinadziwe kuti chinali chiyani panthawiyo.
Pumulani m'mawu a Yesu
Ndikukumbukira bwino lomwe: Ndinali kukhala m'nyumba ndi mkazi wanga, ndipo m'kabatimo panali Baibulo laling'ono la Chipangano Chatsopano. Ndinayamba kuliŵerenga, kuchokera patsamba loyamba la Mateyu. Nditangoyamba, sindinathe kuika pansi. Mawu a Yesu anali osavuta komanso omveka bwino; Ndinadziŵa kuti ndapeza chowonadi.
Iye anati: "Bwerani kwa ine... phunzirani kwa ine, chifukwa ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa mumtima, ndipo mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu." Mateyu 11:28-29 . Kuwerenga mawu a Yesu kunandipuma. Chimenecho ndi chimodzi mwa zotsatira za kupeza choonadi. Ndinasangalala kwambiri pamene zimenezo zinachitika, chifukwa ndinadziŵa kuti ndapeza chinthu chamtengo wapatali kwambiri!
Ndinkafuna kusangalatsa Mulungu, kuti ndipeze zina zambiri zomwe ndinakumana nazo powerenga mawu a Yesu. Chotero, ndinapempherera mphamvu ndi nyonga kuti ndikhale womvera zimene ndinaŵerenga, ndi kupitirizabe mmenemo. (1 Timoteyo 4:16.) Zimenezo ndizofunikira kwambiri, kwenikweni - kupitiriza. Ŵerengani mawu a Yesu mosavuta, landirani ndi kuwamvera, ndipo mudzapeza kuti zimenezo zimakubweretserani mpumulo!

Mkwiyo, kukhumudwa, chikhumbo cha ndalama, chilakolako cha maso, chilakolako cha mphamvu - zinthu zonsezi zomwe anthu amayendetsedwa nazo - zimabweretsa kusakhazikika kwakukulu mu moyo wa munthu.
Kukhala mogwirizana ndi zilakolako ndi zokhumba za munthu sikuli moyo wachimwemwe. Ndi katundu wolemera, ndipo ndikuganiza kuti anthu ambiri samamvetsetsa zimenezo. Iwo amaganiza kuti afunikira kupeza ndalama zambiri, mphamvu zambiri, ayenera kupeza ena kuti awone zinthu momwe amachitira, ndipo ayenera kuchita zinthu momwe akufunira, ndi zina zotero. Ndipo ndi nkhondo yosatha. Pansi pa mtima ndikuganiza kuti anthu amafuna mtendere, koma iwo samamvetsetsa momwe angapezere.
Mpumulo weniweni: mphoto ya kumvera
Tiyenera kukhulupirira ndi kumvera mawu a Yesu. Mwachitsanzo, Yesu ananena kuti ngati tikufuna kukhululukidwa, tiyenera kukhululuka. (Mateyu 6:14-15.) Zimenezo zingakhale zovuta kwambiri, ndipo nthaŵi zina, zingaoneke ngati zosatheka. Simungathe kuchita izo mu mphamvu zanu, muyenera kupemphera kuti Mulungu adzakupatsani mphamvu yokhululukira aliyense amene angakhale. Ndipo mukamachita zimenezo ndi mtima wanu wonse – simukufunanso kukhumudwa kapena kukhala ndi chinachake chotsutsana nawo – ndiye kuti Mulungu adzakuthandizani kuti muthe kukhululukira munthuyo, mokwanira popanda zofuna zilizonse.
Ndipo mphotho yanu ndi yakuti mukhale omasuka ku mtolo umene uchimo umabweretsa! Ndipotu, mukhoza kukonda munthu winayo ndi kukhala dalitso. Mukukwaniritsa Mawu a Mulungu! Pali dalitso lina lalikulu limene limabwera pa inu komanso. Ndikuganiza kuti imodzi mwa njira zabwino kwambiri zofotokozera ndikuti mumamva kuti ndinu "odzozedwa ndi mafuta a chisangalalo". (Ahebri 1:9.)
Ndipo zili choncho ndi Mawu onse a Mulungu. Ngati pali dera limene simungathe kukhala monga momwe Mawu a Mulungu amanenera, mukhoza kupeza thandizo limene muyenera kuligonjetsa, ndi "kudzozedwa ndi mafuta a chisangalalo". Mwa chisomo cha Mulungu, mumamva kuti mumakhala opanda uchimo. Ichi ndi mpumulo weniweni umene Yesu anali kulankhula: pumulani ku tchimo lonse limene limativutitsa!
Chinthu china chomwe chiri chozizira kwenikweni pa izi ndi chakuti sitingadzitamande za izo, ndikuti sitikuyenera kutamandidwa chifukwa cha izo. Si chinthu chimene inu kapena ine tingachite patokha. Tiyenera kudzichepetsa ndi kupita kwa Mulungu kukapeza thandizo. Ndipo Iye amapereka izo. Iye amatipatsa thandizo kotero, pang'onopang'ono koma motsimikiza, timakhala omasuka kwambiri, timakhala ngati Yesu. Ndipo ulemu wonse ndi kuyamikira konse kupita kwa Mulungu chifukwa cha izi, chifukwa tikudziwa kuti popanda Iye sitikanatha kumasuka ku uchimo ndi kupanda chimwemwe konse komwe tchimo limabweretsa.
