 "Ndiyintyatyambo yaseSharon, nenyibiba yasentilini" - Sg 2: 1

Ngala mazwi, intombazana yakwaShulami yazichaza. Igama lesiHebhere elisetyenziselwe i-rose apha i-habaselet kwaye iqondwa njengeHibiscus Syriacus. Le ntyatyambo intle inzima, kuthetha ukuba inokukhula kwiimeko ezingathandekiyo kakhulu.
Emva koko, uzichaza ngokuba "yinyibiba yeentlambo". USolomon uthi, "Hayi" awuyinyibiba nje yeentili, ubalasele kunoko. " Ke uphendula ngala mazwi: "Njengenyibiba phakathi kwameva".
UYesu wathi: "Enye yawela emithaneni enameva, yaza imithana enameva yafika, yayiminxa" (Mat 13: 7 NASB). Akunakulindeleka kangakanani, ukuba ahluke, kwaye axabiseke kangakanani, ukufumana inyibiba eneziqhamo ngaphandle kwezi meko zinameva. Ngokukwanjalo no Yesu wathi kwindima 5-6: “Enye yawa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, apho babengenamhlaba mninzi […] bathi ngenxa yokuba bengenangcambu, babuna”. Hayi indlela ekungenakwenzeka ngayo, okwahlukileyo, okwaxabiseke ngayo ukufumana intyatyambo yaseSharon phezu kwayo nje inkxwaleko okanye intshutshiso!

Intanda yam yeyam, mna ke ndingowayo

Kwivesi 16 umShulamite uthetha ngothandekayo wakhe. Uxabisekile kwaye ungowakhe, kwaye ungowakhe. Benze isithembiso omnye komnye, kwaye esi sithembiso singcwele. UmShulami akasayi kuphenjelelwa kukuhambela kukaSolomon. Umpostile uPawulos wabhala:

Ngenxa yesi sizathu indoda iya kumshiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumkayo, baze abo babini babe nyama-nye. ”- Efese 5: 31

Imfihlelo yale ndinyana icaciswa kwindinyana elandelayo, xa uPawulos esithi enyanisweni uthetha ngoKristu nangecawe yakhe. UYesu Krestu unomtshakazi, kwaye njengabantwana bakaBawo wethu waseZulwini sinesiqinisekiso sothando loMyeni wethu ngathi.
Uyintombi yomShulami. Uyinikele intliziyo yakho kumfana onguMalusi, kwaye uya kukubeka phantsi ubomi bakhe ngenxa yakho. UYesu Kristu uMalusi wakho wathi:

Ndim umalusi olungileyo. Ndiyazazi ezam kwaye ezam ziyandazi - kanye njengoko uBawo endazi nam kwaye ndiyamazi uBawo - kwaye ndibuncama ubomi bam ngenxa yezimvu. ”- UJo 10: 14-15 NET

Kutheni wena?

Xa uthabatha kwimifuziselo yeSidlo seNkosi Sangokuhlwa, uvakalisa esidlangalaleni ukuba unguye uKrestu kwaye ukhethe yena. Abanye banokucinga okanye bavakalise ukuba ukhukhumele okanye unekratshi. Unokuqiniseka njani? Yintoni ekwenza ukhetheke kangaka?
Ulinganiswa neentombi zaseYerusalem. Ngolusu lwabo oluhle, iimpahla ezithambileyo kunye nevumba elimnandi, ivumba elibonakalayo lifanelekile ngakumbi ukuthandwa nguKumkani. Ubona ntoni kuwe ukuba uyakufanela lento? Ulusu lwakho lumnyama kuba usebenze kwisidiliya (Sg 1: 6). Ubuthwele ubunzima kunye nokutsha okutsha kwemini (Mt 20: 12).
Ingoma yazo iiNgoma zikaSolomon aziniki sizathu sokuba amkhethe. Ekuphela kwento esinokuyifumana kukuba "uyamthanda". Ngaba uziva ungafaneleki? Kutheni le nto ufanele ukuthandwa luthando nomtsalane wakhe xa zininzi kakhulu izilumko, zomelele, zibalaseleyo?

Kuba luboneni ubizo lwenu, bazalwana, ukuba azizininzi izilumko ngokwenyama, ababaninzi abanamandla, akamaninzi amanene okubizwa. Kodwa ke uThixo unyule izinto ezibonakala ngathi zizihlabathi, ukuze adanise izilumko. Kwaye uThixo unyule izinto ezibuthathaka zehlabathi ukuze adanise izinto ezinamandla. ”- 1 Co 1: 26-27

“Siyamthanda, kuba yena wasithanda kuqala” (1 Jo 4: 19). UThixo ubonakalisa ukusithanda kuqala ngokuthi asamkele njengaBantwana bakhe. U-Krestu wasibonisa ukuba usithanda kude kuse ekufeni. Uthe: "Akundinyulanga, kodwa ndikunyulile" (Jo 15: 16) Ukuba ke uKrestu ukuthandile kuqala, kungakugabadela njani ukusabela kuthando lwakhe?

Ukuzikhumbuza uthando lukaKristu ngawe

Emva kokuba uKrestu evakalise okokuqala ukuba uyasithanda, kwaye njengokuba iminyaka ihamba, ngamanye amaxesha sinokuziva njengoShulami xa wathi: "Ndivulele isithandwa sam; Ke yena umhlobo wam uhoxile, wahamba. Umphefumlo wam uphelile kukuthetha. Ndamfuna, andamfumana; Ndimbizile, kodwa akaphendulanga mpendulo ”(Sg 5: 6).
UmShulami ke wayalela iintombi zaseJerusalem: "ukuba uyifumene intanda yam [...] mxelele, ukuba ndiyagula luthando" (Sg 5: 8). Kubonakala ngathi kungumbhalo webali lothando. Isibini esitshatileyo siwela eluthandweni, kodwa sahlukane. Indoda esisityebi kunye nesityebi yenza inkqubela phambili kwintombazana eselula kodwa intliziyo yayo ihlala inyanisekile kuthando lwayo lolutsha. Ubhala iileta ngethemba lokumfumana.
Ngapha koko, uKrestu ushiye ibandla lakhe alithandayo kangangexesha elithile "ukuba amlungiselele indawo" (Jo 14: 3). Kodwa, uthembisa ukubuya amnike isiqinisekiso:

“Ke ukuba ndiyemka ndaya kunilungiselela indawo, ndiya kubuya, ndinamkelele kum ngokwam; ukuze apho ndikhona mna, nibe khona nani. Kwaye apho ndiya khona niyazi, kwaye nendlela niyazi. ”- UJo 14: 3-4

Ngokungabikho kwakhe, kusenokufuneka sizikhumbuze uthando esasisinalo ekuqaleni. Kuyenzeka ukuba ulibale oku:

“Nangona kunjalo ndinento ngakuwe, ngenxa yokuba ushiye uthando lwakho lokuqala.” - UR 2: 4

NjengoSolomon, eli hlabathi nabo bonke ubungangamsha balo nobutyebi kunye nobuhle balo liya kuzama ukukulahla kude nothando esalubonayo xa inkwenkwana eyalusayo yavakalisa uthando lwakho kuwe. Ngoku ahlukane naye okwexeshana, amathandabuzo anokungena engqondweni yakho. Iintombi zaseYerusalem zithi: “Uthanda ntoni na ongomnye ngaphandle kothandiweyo? (Isl 5: 9).
UmShulami uphendula ngokumkhumbula kunye namaxesha ababelana ngawo. Isibini ngokufanayo senza kakuhle ukuba sizikhumbuze ukuba kutheni bethandane kwindawo yokuqala, bekhumbula la mzuzu wokuqala wothando:

Intanda yam iqaqambile, iyingqombela, Iyeyona iphakathi kwamawaka alishumi. Intloko yayo yeyona golide, ecocekileyo, Isihlwitha sineengcambu, simnyama njengehlungulu. Amehlo akhe anjengamahobe emilanjeni yamanzi, ihlanjwe ngobisi, ilungisiwe kakuhle. Izidlele zakhe zinjengombhede weziqholo, ngathi lentyatyambo yentyatyambo: Imilebe ngathi yinyibiba, yona ivuza isiqholo esimnandi. Iingalo zayo zinjengegolide ecocekileyo, ejijelwe ngomrharnate, imizimba yazo yimbonakalo yeempondo zeendlovu, egalelwe ngesafire. Imilenze yayo ziintsika zemabhile, ebekwe iziseko zegolide ecocekileyo. Ubuso bayo bunjengeLebhanon, intle njengemisedare. Umlomo wakhe umnandi kakhulu, ewe, uyathandeka ngokupheleleyo. Yiyo intanda yam, le ke ngumhlobo wam, zintombi zaseYerusalem. ”- Sg 5: 10-16

Xa sikhumbula rhoqo umntu esimthandayo, uthando lwethu ngaye luhlala lunyulu kwaye lomelele. Sikhokelwa luthando lwakhe (2 Co 5: 14) kwaye sijonge phambili ekubuyeni kwakhe.

Ukuzilungiselela uMtshato

Embonweni, uYohane usiwa ezulwini, apho isihlwele esikhulu sithetha ngelizwi elinye: “Haleluya; usindiso, nozuko, nembeko, namandla, kuye iNkosi uThixo wethu ”(Rev 19: 1). Kwaye kwakhona isihlwele esikhulu esisezulwini siyadanduluka sisithi: “Haleluya: kuba iNkosi uThixo unamandla onke uyalawula.” (V.6). Yintoni unobangela woku kugcoba nokudumisa oku kuBawo wethu osezulwini? Sifunda:

"Masibe nemihlali, sivuye, simzukise; kuba umtshato weMvana ufikile, umfazi wayo uzilungisile." - ISityhi 19: 7

Umbono ungomnye womtshato phakathi kukaKristu noMtshakazi wakhe, ixesha lolonwabo olukhulu. Qaphela indlela uMtshakazi azenze walungela ngayo.
Ukuba unokuwucinga ngomtshato oqaqambileyo wasebukhosini: Namhlanje ndidibene onke amalungu osapho, abahlobo, abanesidima kunye neendwendwe ezihloniphekileyo. Amakhadi esimemo ayenziwe ngobuchule ngabaprintayo abaziingcali. Bajika ke iindwendwe ngokunxiba iimpahla zabo ezintle.
Ecaleni kwengcwele yombhiyozo, iholo yokwamkela iguqulwe ngokuhonjiswa okuhle kunye neentyatyambo. Umculo ugqiba ukuvumelana kunye nokuhleka kwabantwana abancinci epaseji kukhumbuza bonke ubuhle kwisiqalo esitsha.
Ngoku zonke iindwendwe zifumene indawo yazo yokuhlala. Umyeni ume esibingelelweni kunye nomculo uqalisa ukudlala. Iminyango ivulekile kwaye uMfazi uyavela. Zonke iindwendwe ziyajika kwaye zijonge kwicala elinye. Banethemba lokuba babona ntoni?
UMtshakazi! Kodwa kubonakala ngathi kukho into engalunganga. Isinxibo sakhe simdaka ngodaka, isigqubuthelo sakhe asisendaweni, iinwele zakhe azilunganga kwaye neentyatyambo ezikwifestile yakhe yomtshato zitshonile. Ungayithelekelela le nto? Akazilungisanga… ayinakwenzeka!

"Ngaba intombi iyazilibala izivatho zayo, umtshakazi uyambesa?" - Jeremiah 2: 32

IZibhalo zichaza uMyeni wethu njengokubuya ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa ngexesha esingalilindelanga ukuba Sinokuqiniseka njani ukuba sikulungele ukusamkela? UmShulami wayehlala emsulwa eluthandweni lwayo inkwenkwe yakhe uMelusi, kwaye ezinikele kuye ngokupheleleyo. IZibhalo zisinika ukutya okuninzi kokucinga:

“Ke ngoko bhinqani izinqe zengqondo yenu, ninobungcathu, kwaye ninathemba lokuphela kobabalo oluziswa kuni ekutyhilekeni kukaYesu Kristu;
Njengabantwana abathobelayo, musani ukuzenza ngokweenkanuko zangaphambili ekungazini kwenu: ke, njengoko ninibizayo, ngcwele, yibani ziingcathu ngeendlela zonke.
Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uya kuba ngcwele; kuba ndingcwele. ”(1 Pe 1: 13-16)

"Ungaqinisekiswa kweli lizwe, kodwa uguqulwe ngokuhlaziywa kwengqondo yakho, ukuze ngokuvavanya ukwazi ukuba kuyintoni ukuthanda kukaThixo, into elungileyo nefanelekileyo, igqibeleleyo." - Ro 12: 2 ESV

Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu. Ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke ohleli kum. Ubomi ke endibudlayo ngoku, ndisenyameni, ndibudlela ekukholweni kuNyana kaThixo, owandithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yam. ”- Ga 2: 20 ESV

Dala phakathi kwam, Thixo, intliziyo ehlambulukileyo, Uhlaziye umoya oqinisekileyo phakathi kwam. Musa ukundilahla phambi kobuso bakho, hleze undithambise. Ndibuyisele uvuyo losindiso lwakho, kwaye undixhase ngomoya ovumayo. ”- Ps 51: 10-12 ESV

Zintanda, ngoku singabantwana bakaThixo. Akukabonakali ke into esiya kuba yiyo; Siyazi ke ukuba, xa athe wabonakala, sofana naye, ngokuba siya kumbona njengoko anjalo. Kwaye wonk 'ubani onethemba elinjalo kuye uzihlambulula njengokuba enyulu. ”- 1 Jo 3: 2-3 ESV

Singayibulela iNkosi yethu ukuba isezulu asilungiselele indawo, ukuba ubuyile kungekudala, kwaye sijonge phambili kwimini esiya kuba kunye ngayo kwiparadesi.
Kungekudala kude kube nini siliva ixilongo elikhulu likhwaza xa thina njengamalungu ebandla likaKristu simanyene naye? Masibe silungile!
