Ubulumko Bukhanyisa Ubuso

Ubulumko bululeka ukulumka phambi kokumkani owenza konke akuthandayo. Akukho mntu ulawula umoya nomhla wokufa. Izigwebo ezilityaziswayo zikhuthaza ububi, aze amalungisa afumane oko kufanele abangendawo. UMfundisi uncoma ukonwaba, aze avume ukuba umsebenzi kaThixo awunakufunyanwa.

Ngubani na onjengesilumko? Ngubani na owaziyo intsingiselo yento? Ubulumko bomntu bukhanyisa ubuso bakhe; buguqule ubuzaza bobuso bakhe.

Ndithi, wugcine umlomo wokumkani, ngenxa yesifungo sakho phambi koThixo.

Ukuhamba Kakuhle Egunyeni Lokumkani

Musa ukungxamela ukumka ebusweni bakhe, ungemi endaweni embi, kuba ukumkani wenza konke akuthandayo. Kuba ilizwi lokumkani linegunya eliphakamileyo, ngubani na onokuthi kuye: “Wenza ntoni na?” Lowo uwugcinayo umthetho akayi kwazi nkohlakalo; intliziyo esisilumko iyalazi ixesha nendlela. Yonke into inexesha layo nendlela yayo, nangona iintlungu zomntu zimsinda nzima phezu kwakhe. Kuba akukho namnye owaziyo oko kuzayo, ngubani na onokumxelela ukuba kuya kuba njani na? Akukho mntu ulawula umoya ukuba awubambe, nomhla wokufa. Akukho mntu ukhululwayo kuloo mfazwe, nenkohlakalo ayiyi kubahlangula abo bayenzayo. Ndakubona konke oku, ndayinika intliziyo yam kuyo yonke imisebenzi eyenziwayo phantsi kwelanga—ixesha lokuba umntu alawule omnye ukuze amonzakalise.

Xa Ubulungisa Bubonakala Buzilazila

Ndaza ndababona abangendawo bengcwatywa belaliswa; beza baphuma kwindawo engcwele, badunyiswa emzini apho babenza njalo. Oku nako kuyingqwithela. ^a Ngenxa yokuba isigwebo sesenzo esibi singafezwa ngokukhawuleza, iintliziyo zabantu zizimisele ngokupheleleyo ukwenza okubi. Nangona umoni esenza okubi kalikhulu, aphinde adle ubomi obude, kanti ke ndiyazi ukuba kuya kubalungela abo bamoyikayo uThixo, aboyika phambi kwakhe. Abangendawo abayi kulungelwa, abayi kuyolula imihla yabo njengethunzi, ngenxa yokuba bengamoyiki uThixo.

Kukho into eyingqwithela eyenzeka ehlabathini: amalungisa afumana oko kufanele abangendawo, nabangendawo befumana oko kufanele amalungisa. Ndathi oku nako kuyingqwithela. Ngoko ndadumisa uvuyo: akukho nto ilungileyo emntwini phantsi kwelanga ngaphezu kokudla, nokusela, nokuvuya. Oku kuhamba naye emgudwini wakhe, imihla yobomi uThixo amnike bona phantsi kwelanga.

Xa ndayithobela intliziyo yam ukuba ndazi ubulumko, ndibone umsebenzi owenziwayo ehlabathini, nangona amehlo omntu engaboni buthongo imini nobusuku. Ndaza ndawubona wonke umsebenzi kaThixo: akukho mntu unako ukuwufumanisa umsebenzi owenziwayo phantsi kwelanga. Nokuba bazama kangakanani na ukuwufuna, abayi kuwufumana; nokuba izilumko zisithi ziyakwazi, azinako ukuwufumanisa.
