Mwati chiyani "Ayi" mpaka lero?
Ambiri aife timathamanga kuwerengera "Yesses" zathu - mapulojekiti atsopano, makasitomala atsopano, malonjezo atsopano, mwayi watsopano. Timaziyika pamwamba ngati zikho, tikukhulupirira kuti zochita ndizofanana ndi phindu. Koma si zinthu zomwe timanena "inde" zomwe zimatifotokozera. Ndi zinthu zomwe timanena "ayi" zomwe zimapangitsa kusiyana. Ronald Rolheiser analembapo kuti, "Chosankha chilichonse ndi kusiya chikwi." Kunena inde ku chinthu chimodzi ndi kunena ayi kwa chikwi china. Simungapewe. Funso ndilakuti si if udzati ayi; ndi chani udzakana.
Tikupeza chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri m'Baibulo: Yesu anakhala ndi moyo womveka bwino wotero. Pambuyo pa usiku wonse akuchiritsa ku Kapernao, ophunzira ake anabwera kudzafunafuna. “Aliyense akukufunani,” anatero, ngati kuti chinali chifukwa chokwanira chokhalabe komwe anali. Koma Yesu anati ayi. “Tiyeni tipite ku midzi yapafupi, kuti ndikalalikire kumenekonso, chifukwa ndi chifukwa chake ndinabwera” (Marko 1:38). Sanali wosasamala kapena wosasamala. Anali kungodziwa kuti “inde” wake anali atanenedwa kale. Zimenezi zinamuthandiza kukana, ngakhale zinthu zabwino komanso zachangu.
Kunena “inde” chifukwa cha mantha. Apa ndi pomwe ambiri a ife timagwa. Timapitiriza kunena inde chifukwa cha mantha - kuopa kuphonya, kuopa kukhumudwitsa anthu, kuopa kusiyidwa. Koma inde yosatha si chizindikiro cha mphamvu. Ndi zizindikiro za ukapolo. Inde pa chilichonse pamapeto pake imakhala ayi pa chinthu chofunika kwambiri. Kutopa kumaonedwa ngati chinthu chofunika kwambiri.
Nyengo ya chilichonse chofunika. Wolemba buku la Mlaliki anafotokoza mwachidule kuti: "Chilichonse chili ndi nthawi yake, ndi nthawi ya chinthu chilichonse pansi pa thambo" (3:1). Imeneyo si vesi lomveka bwino loti lisindikizidwe pa chikho cha khofi. Ndi mzere wa kutsutsa kwauzimu motsutsana ndi ulamuliro wachangu. Simungathe kuchita chilichonse nthawi imodzi ndikutcha kumvera. Pali nyengo ya zomwe Mulungu wakupatsani pakali pano; kukhala ndi kulimba mtima kuziteteza ndi "ayi" ndiko kumazisunga kukhala zoyera.
Kuzindikira pa kuyendetsa galimoto. Mtumwi Paulo analankhula mwachindunji ndi otsatira a Yesu ku Efeso wakale: "Samalani bwino momwe mukuyendera, osati monga opanda nzeru koma monga anzeru, pogwiritsa ntchito bwino nthawi yanu, chifukwa masiku ndi oipa" (Aefeso 5:15-16). Nzeru sikutanthauza kuyika zambiri mu kalendala yanu; koma ndi kutchula zomwe zili zofunika kwambiri ndikukana zomwe sizili zofunika. Anzeru sathamanga mofulumira. Amathamanga moona mtima. Amamvetsa kuti kuzindikira kuli ndi mphamvu kuposa kuyendetsa galimoto.
Kumvetsetsa zofunikira zanu. Ganizirani za sabata yanu. Inde iliyonse imakuwonongerani ndalama: nthawi ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi wanu, kukhala ndi ana anu, kusamalira moyo wanu, komanso ubwenzi wolimba ndi Mulungu. Ngati moyo wanu ukumva wodzaza ndi zinthu zambiri, sizikutanthauza kuti ndinu wofunika kwambiri. Ndi chifukwa chakuti mwasiya kuteteza zinthu zofunika kwambiri. Msika sudzachita zimenezo kwa inu. Kampani yanu nthawi zonse idzapempha zambiri. Makampani anu nthawi zonse adzalimbikira kwambiri. Muyenera kukhala osamala; tetezani zomwe zili zopatulika.
Chikhulupiriro. Ukwati. Banja. Chiyanjano. Kuyitanidwa ndi Mulungu. Izi ndi makoma onyamula katundu m'moyo wanu. Ngati agwa, zina zonse zimagwa. Chifukwa chake, khalani chete. Tengani nthawi yopuma. Funsani funsoli kachiwiri: Kodi mwati "Ayi" lero? Osati chifukwa cha ulesi. Osati chifukwa cha mantha. Koma chifukwa chakuti "Inde" wanu anali atalankhulidwa kale, kale pamaso pa Mulungu.

Kulingalira/Kukambirana Mafunso
- N’chiyani chimakulimbikitsani kuti mukhulupirire kwambiri pakali pano - chikhulupiriro ndi cholinga, kapena mantha osowa, kutsalira m’mbuyo, kapena kukhumudwitsa wina?
- Ndi maubwenzi ati kapena zizolowezi ziti zauzimu zomwe zawonongeka pang'onopang'ono chifukwa chakuti nthawi yanu ndi yodzaza kwambiri moti simungathe kuziteteza?
- Kodi Mulungu akukupemphani kuti mulembe malire kuntchito kapena muutumiki - osati kusiya, koma kupanga malo a zomwe zimalimbitsa moyo wanu?
- Ngati wina ataona kalendala yanu sabata ino, kodi angapeze umboni wakuti “inde” yanu ndi ya Yesu – kapena kuti yagulitsidwa kale ku chinthu china?
ZINDIKIRANI: Ngati mukufuna kufufuza zambiri zokhudza kupirira m'moyo wachikhristu ndi kuntchito, ganizirani malemba awa a m'Baibulo: Numeri 30:2; Deuteronomo 23:21-23; Mlaliki 5:2-6; Mateyu 5:33-37; Yakobo 5:12;
Chovuta Chasabata Ino
Monga mwawerengera Manna ya Lolemba lino, kodi mwazindikira kuti mwakhala “inde mwamuna” kapena “inde mkazi”? Ngati mukupeza kuti mukuvomereza kuchita china chake kuti musangalatse ena kapena chifukwa choopa kuti angakuoneni ngati simukukondani, sabata ino ikhoza kukhala nthawi yabwino yoti “mubwererenso” ku zomwe mwalonjeza.
Kambiranani izi ndi wina - mnzanu wodalirika kapena mlangizi, mphunzitsi, kapena gulu laling'ono lomwe mungamuuze zakukhosi. Mwina nthawi zina amavutikanso kunena kuti “Ayi”. Oswald Chambers anati, “Chabwino ndi mdani wa chabwino.” Kambiranani momwe kunena “Ayi” kwa chabwino kungakuthandizireni kunena “Inde” kwa chabwino.
