Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Uthando lwabantu,
Ukuthathwa yizintandokazi, ukushayelwa izandla, nokunconywa abantu, okuyisifo sokushiyeka enjongweni yokuza emhlabeni, kuwubuwula bokulindela usizo komunye umuntu ohluphekayo njengaye. Ukuthandwa abantu kuyisikhuthazi sobuzenzisi, futhi kuyisithiyo esikhulu endleleni eya ekwanelisekeni.
Riya,
kuvela embonweni:
Ukufuna ukuthi abantu babone izenzo zakho ezinhle, ukuzithengisa, ukwenza izinto zokuzenzisa ukuze abanye bakuthande.
Ake sibacabangele abantu abazayo ngemva kwekhulu leminyaka. Laba bafiki emhlabeni, abasengaphakathi ebumnyameni bokungabikho, esingabazi ukuthi bangobani, bazothola isibusiso sokuphila njengomusa ovela kuNkulunkulu lapho kufika isikhathi sabo esinqunywe yisiphetho, bese beqala ukuhlala emhlabeni. Isigaba sabo sokuqala sohambo lwabo, isibeletho, bazohlala khona izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye, bafundiswe, futhi bazohlonyiswa ngakho konke abakudingayo ukuze bakwazi ukujabulela izibusiso nezipho ezingapheliyo zale ndawo yonke ngendlela engcono kakhulu. Bese beqala ukuhlala emhlabeni, besemathangeni omama babo, bese bephuza ubisi olumnandi oluvela kulezo zifuba zothando.
Bese, bayokhula, babe yintsha. Bazothola imisebenzi, bazohlanganyela empilweni yomphakathi. Futhi iningi labo lizokhohlwa yizixuku, lizikhohlwe; ngeke likhumbule ukuthi liyizinceku, liyizivakashi, liyizihambi. Futhi bazofuna ukuthola uthando lwabanye abantu abakhulelwe kwezinye izisu, ababuthakathaka njengabo, abafayo njengabo. Bazoba yizigqila zomphakathi, bazobeka ukusola kwabo ngaphambi kwesono, bazokhetha ukuthandwa kwabo ngaphezu kokwamukelwa. Ngeke bacabange ngezigaba zohambo olungemva kwethuna. Ngeke bakhumbule ngisho nethuna lapho wonke umuntu ehlupheka yedwa, inkundla yosuku lokwahlulela lapho kungekho muntu oyobheka omunye, nosuku lokubala lapho kungekho muntu oyokwazi ukuncenga ngaphandle kwemvume kaNkulunkulu…
Lapha, abaprofethi, izazi, nabantu abahlakaniphileyo baphuma phambi kwalezi zixuku ezizikhohlwayo, ezibonakala zibaleka ngokushesha ziya ezweni lezinhlupheko laphaya, babatshela ukuthi basendleleni engalungile, futhi bazama ukubayisa endleleni yeqiniso.
Lowo ophethe umthetho wokuzalwa, nguye owasiletha kulo mhlaba, futhi ngomthetho wokufa, nguye ozosithuthela kwelinye izwe.
Kuleli luhambo olufushane emhlabeni, yini inzuzo esingayithola ngokuzilibazisa nabagibeli, nokuthola ukubonga kwabo?!..
Siyofa ngokuya kuleli zwe, kanti labo esibashiya ngemuva bazosikhohlwa ngokushesha. Ukube besingabuka umlando ngaleli hlo, besingabona izibonelo eziningi kangaka! Baphi labo ababedunyiswa ngaphambi kwekhulu leminyaka, nababebadumisa? Baphi labo babusi, nababhali bezinkondlo ababebhalela bona izinkondlo zokudumisa? Baphi labo abacebile abakhulu, nabampofu ababebheke kubo?
Ngemva kwekhulu leminyaka, nathi sizoba yizinto zangaphambili, futhi isizukulwane esilandelayo sizobuza imibuzo efanayo kubantu besikhathi sabo. Futhi ngolunye usuku, njengayo yonke imiphefumulo, umhlaba naye uzokufa. Kuzolandela usuku lokwahlulela kanye nenkundla yokwahlulelwa. Kuleyo nkundla eyethusayo, lapho umuntu angeke akwazi ngisho nokubheka ebusweni balowo amthanda kakhulu, ngubani ozosizwa? Ngakho-ke, namuhla kufanele sifune ukukhosela eNdlini yaKhe, sizame ukuthola ukwamukeleka kwaKhe.
Nokuthile okukhona,
“Ukuthanda ngenxa kaNkulunkulu”
njengokuthi,
“Ukuthandwa ngenxa kaNkulunkulu”
Futhi kuyinto efanelekile nenhle. Sifisa ukuthi izinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezikholwayo zithande thina, futhi izinceku zaKhe ezikhethekile zibe ngabalandeli bethu. Lesi sifiso asihlangene nakancane nokuzenzisa noma ukufuna ukuthandwa ngabantu.
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
