Wake wahlala esikebheni sikaseyili, udangele? Ubambekile, uhlezi nje. Ungajika iphini noma ngayiphi indlela; akunandaba. Uvele ubhodloze nje. Uma umoya uphinde uvunguza futhi ugcwalise oseyili, bese uqala futhi, ungakwazi ukuqondisa futhi.
Kunezindaba eziningana eZwini lapho abantu bethi ukuzola, noma banamathele. Nansi eyodwa:
“Kwathi ngehora leshumi nanye [umninindlu] waphuma, wafumana abanye bemile, wathi kubo: “Nimeleni lapha usuku lonke ningasebenzi na?” Bathi kuye: ‘Kungokuba akukho muntu osiqashile. kubo: Hambani nani, niye esivinini. (Mathewu 20:6-7)
Nansi enye:
“Kwakukhona lapho umuntu othile owayesegule iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili. Uphilile na?” Ogulayo wamphendula wathi: “Nkosi, anginamuntu ongangifaka echibini, nxa amanzi ezanyazanyiswa, ngisafika omunye wehla phambi kwami.” UJesu wathi kuye: “Sukuma, uthabathe isitsha sakho. embhedeni, uhambe." (Johane 5:5-8)
Futhi okunye:
“Waya khona emhumeni, walala khona; bheka, izwi likaJehova lafika kuye, lathi kuye: “Wenzani lapha, Eliya?” (1 Amakhosi 19:12)
Isikhathi ngasinye, abantu abathunjiwe batshelwa ukuthi benze:
hamba uyosebenza esivinini,
vuka, uthabathe uhlaka lwakho, uhambe;
hamba... ugcobe uHazayeli abe yinkosi phezu kweSiriya, ... uJehu... ukuba abe inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, no...Elisha...
Isikhathi ngasinye, uNkulunkulu unikeza umfutho -- njengomoya oseyili. Esimeni ngasinye, abantu ngokwengxenye babambeke kumodi yokungakwazi ukuzisiza -- kodwa noma kunjalo, BASEmakethe, noma eduze kwechibi lokuphulukisa, noma bemi emlonyeni womhume. BAZIMISELE ukuthatha isinyathelo uma kufika lo mfutho. Bayemukela. Bayalalela. Banokholo olwanele lokuhamba.
Pho kuthiwani ngathi? Impela uhlobo olufanayo lwento. Singase sidakwe ngokomoya. Siphuma kanjani kuleso simo? Qala ngokwenza into eyodwa efanele. Eqinisweni, ukufunda iZwi KUNYE yezinto ezifanele, ngakho uma ulapha, ufunda, uyazilungiselela; uyemukela. YENZA into efanele; wenzela othile into enomusa. Noma umelane nesilingo esilandelayo sokwenza okuthile okungalungile.
Kungumjikelezo omude ukuya phezulu -- ukwamukela, ukholo, ukufunda amaqiniso, ukugwema okubi, ukwenza izinto ezinhle -- futhi kuwumsebenzi omningi, kodwa kungcono kakhulu kunokuhlala udangele.
