Kungakhale kosavuta kwambiri kuweruza uchimo mwa anthu ena. Mwamuna akakhala wosakhulupirika kwa mkazi wake kapena mkazi akamenya mwana, n'zosavuta kudabwa kuti n'chiyani chingapangitse munthu kuchita zimenezo. "Kodi cholakwika ndi chiyani?" tikuganiza. Chigololo ndi nkhanza ndi machimo amene amawononga miyoyo ya anthu ambiri. Koma chomwe ambiri a ife sitikudziwa n'chakuti muzu wa zinthu zimenezo, chiyambi, uli mkati mwa tonsefe.
Tikhoza kuwerenga pa Salmo 143:2 (BBE), "Pakuti palibe munthu wamoyo woongoka m'maso mwanu," ndipo kachiwiri pa 1 Yohane 1:8 (NCV), "Ngati tikunena kuti tilibe tchimo, tikudzipusitsa tokha, ndipo choonadi sichiri mwa ife." Chifukwa chake, timamvetsetsa kuti tonsefe tili ndi uchimo, ndiko kuti, ndi mbali ya chibadwa chathu chaumunthu kufuna kuchimwa.
"Zimene chikhalidwe cha anthu chimachita n'zoonekeratu ndithu. Zimadziwonetsera m'zochita zachiwerewere, zonyansa, ndi zosayenera; polambira mafano ndi ufiti. Anthu amakhala adani ndipo amamenyana; iwo amakhala ansanje, okwiya, ndi ofuna kutchuka." Agalatiya 5:19-20 (GNB). M'matembenuzidwe ena a Baibulo awa amatchedwa "ntchito za thupi".
Chikhumbo cha uchimo
Tonsefe tili ndi chikhumbo m'chibadwa chathu chaumunthu cha kuchita uchimo. Ndi mbali ya ife. N'kwachibadwa kwambiri kuchita nsanje, kukwiya, kulakalaka mwamuna kapena mkazi. Ndipo pamene tigonja ku zikhumbo zachibadwa zimenezi, timavomereza kuti kuli bwino kuchimwa, ndipo tchimo lidzaonekera m'malingaliro ndi zochita zathu. Tingafike mpaka poganiza kuti zinthu si tchimo. "Ndi yaing'ono kwambiri kuti ikhale yofunika," kapena "sizimamva kwenikweni kuti ndizolakwika." Pamene miyoyo yathu ikupita patsogolo ndipo sitiletsa machimo amenewo kuyambira nthawi yoyamba timazindikira kuti tikuyesedwa kwa iwo, timakhala ogwidwa ndi chilakolako, mkwiyo, nsanje, kumenyana, ndi zina zotero. Zomwe zinayamba ngati "chinthu chaching'ono chabe; sizoipa zimenezo," tsopano ndi chigololo, kuwawidwa mtima kwa moyo wonse kwa munthu wina, khalidwe lachiwawa, kapena kumwerekera. Mofanana ndi Yesu, tiyenera kukana machimo ameneŵa nthaŵi imene timawaona, ndipo sitiyenera kulola malingaliro athu kapena Satana kutichotsa pa zimene zalembedwa m'Mawu a Mulungu. Pamenepo ziyeso sizimapeza mwaŵi wa kukhala uchimo m'matupi athu ndi m'miyoyo yathu.
Sitinapangidwe kuti tikhale ogwidwa m'mitundu yonse ya uchimo. "Musalole uchimo kulamulira mmene mukukhalira; musagonja ku zilakolako zauchimo." Aroma 6:12 (NLT). Paulo analemba momvekera bwino kuti pamene tigonja ku uchimo, pamenepo timakhala akapolo a uchimo. Koma kuti tikhale omasuka ku ukapolo umenewu, choyamba tiyenera kudana ndi uchimo. Tiyenera kuganiza mofanana ndi mmene Davide anachitira. "Ambuye, ndimadana ... Ndimadana ndi amene akukuukirani. Ndimangomva kudana nawo; iwo ndi adani anga." Salmo 139:21-22 (NCV.) Kwa ife adani ndi machimo omwe ndikuwona mu chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu. Kudana nawo sikophweka, chifukwa uchimo ndi munthu; ndi mbali ya ife. Ichi ndi chifukwa chake anthu ambiri samakhala omasuka ku chigololo, kumenyana ndi mkwiyo; tchimo ndi mbali yaikulu kwambiri ya ife moti sitingathe kudana nalo mwachibadwa.
Kukhala waumulungu
Koma sitifunikira kukhala "achilengedwe" ndi "anthu", tikhoza kusintha, timatanthauzidwa kuti tikhale opembedza. "... kuti kudzera mwa iwo mubwere kudzagawana nawo chikhalidwe chaumulungu [chaumulungu], mutathawa chivundi chimene chili m'dziko chifukwa cha chilakolako choipa." 2 Petro 1:4 (NABRE). Tikaona tchimo lathu, tingapemphere kwa Mulungu kuti atithandize kudana nalo. Kudana ndi tchimo limene timaona mwa ife tokha ndi sitepe loyamba panjira yomasuka ku tchimo limeneli. Pamenepo tifunikira kupempherera chikhulupiriro kuti tilimbane ndi tchimo limene timadana nalo, chotero silidzalamulira miyoyo yathu ndi miyoyo ya awo otizinga. Timakhala "anthu" ochepa komanso ofanana kwambiri ndi Yesu. M'malo mokhala osakondwa ndi kuwononga miyoyo yathu ndi miyoyo ya anthu otizungulira, tingakhale dalitso m'nthaŵi yathu pano padziko lapansi.
