Jabulela uhambo
Ube nohambo oluhle? Lona ngokuvamile umbuzo wokuqala obuzwayo uma uphuma endizeni. Kukangaki uphendula, "Cha, bekubi. Indiza ihambe sekwephuzile, saba nesiphithiphithi sokundiza, ukudla kwakungekho futhi manje nginekhanda elibuhlungu!" (Eshu, lokho kuzwakala sengathi kwenzekile kimi ngemva kwendiza yami eyayingakhululeki!)
Ngingaxolisa ngokuchitha usuku lonke ngizihambela nje ngisuka kwenye indawo ngiya kwenye; ngakho-ke ngizama ukusebenzisa isikhathi sami sokuhamba ngandlela thile. Ngihlale ngihamba nezincwadi eziningana, izincwadi ezizophendulwa, izindatshana ezizohlelwa, amateyipu alalelwayo, futhi, noshokoledi othile njengokudla kohambo! Ngakho-ke noma ngabe ukugibela bekukubhampasi noma ngifike emuva kwesikhathi, ngisengasho ukuthi ngilijabulele lolu hambo ngoba bengingahlali nje lapho ngikhathazeka ngezinto ezingahambanga kahle noma ngithukuthele ngezinto.
Ingabe impilo ayinjalo ngezinye izikhathi? Impilo luhambo; singayithokozela futhi sisebenzise isikhathi uNkulunkulu asinikeze sona, noma singasonga izandla zethu ngezimo bese sifisa sengathi ngabe izinto bezihlukile.
Ngandlela-thile ukuphila kwethu kuhlanganisa izinsuku zokuhamba. Sibonakala sigijima sisuka kwenye indawo siya kwenye, sijaha ukuhlangana nabantu futhi siphawula izinto ohlwini lwethu lwezinto esizozenza. Ingabe siyake sibheke emuva ukuze sithathe isifinyezo sengqondo sosuku bese sithi, “Lesi isikhathi sempilo yami. Ngiyabonga Nkosi ngalomzuzu nangalempilo"?
“Kufanele siphile ngokwengeziwe esikhathini samanje,” kusho uJan Johnson encwadini yakhe ethi, Enjoying the Presence of God, “ngoba isisiza ukuba sazise izinqubo nemiphumela yokuphila.”
Impilo ingaphezu nje kokuphawula izinto okumele sizenze ezinhlwini zethu. Ngezinye izikhathi siba matasa kakhulu ngokukhiqiza futhi singazizwa sinelisekile kuze kube yilapho sesifeze okuningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Nakuba kukuhle ukujabulela lokho umuntu akufezile, kuba mnandi nakakhulu lapho “sijabulela lesi sikhathi samanje kunokuba sigxile kodlule noma sihlale ngokunganaki ikusasa” (ibid.) Akukhona nje kuphela ukwenza izinto ezinhle zibonakale zingcono ekuphileni lapho sijabulela umzuzu nomzuzu kodwa futhi ezimbi zibekezeleleka nakakhulu uma zibhekwa njengengxenye yenqubo yonke Izilingo nezinkinga azihlali unomphela kunalokho zifana namatshe amatshe endleleni ngiyazi ukuthi kulula ukukusho.Kodwa khumbula ukuthi usudlule eziningi ezimbi amapheshana kanye nalawo amanje azoba ngemuva kwakho.Kuyasiza futhi ukukhumbula ukuthi asikho nje ngenjongo yaleyo njongo, sisohambweni oluya kwenye indawo engcono kakhulu uPawulu asikhuthazayo kwabaseFilipi. 3,13-14:
“Bazalwane, angiziboni ukuthi sengikubambile; kodwa kunye [engikwenzayo]: ngikhohlwa okungasemuva, ngizelulela kokungaphambili, ngiphokophele emgomeni, emklomelweni wokubizwa kukaNkulunkulu kwasezulwini kuKristu Jesu.”
Masiqhubeke nomgomo engqondweni. Kepha ake sijabulele zonke izinsuku zokuhamba futhi sisebenzise isikhathi. Uhambo Oluhle!
