Isifundo sokuQala · 1 KwabaseKorinte 12:31-13:13
Bazalwana noodadewethu: Phuthumani ngenkuthalo izipho ezinkulu zomoya. Kodwa ndinibonisa indlela entle kakhulu. Ukuba ndithetha ngeelwimi zabantu nezeengelosi, kodwa ndingenalo uthando, ndinjengentsimbi ekhala kakhulu okanye icimbali eduma kakhulu. Ukuba ndinesipho sokuprofeta, ndiqonda zonke iimfihlakalo nalo lonke ulwazi; ukuba ndinokholo olupheleleyo lokususa iintaba, kodwa ndingenalo uthando, andiyinto yanto. Ukuba ndinikela ngayo yonke into endinayo, kwaye ukuba ndinikela ngomzimba wam ukuze ndiziqhayise, kodwa ndingenalo uthando, andizuza nto. Uthando luyanyamezela, uthando lunobubele. Alunabukhwele, uthando aluzigwagwisi, aluzikhukhumalisi, aluhloniphi mntu, aluzifuneli okwalo, alucaphuki msinya, alubambi ngqondo zenzakaliso, aluvuyiswa bububi, kodwa luvuyisana nenyaniso. Luthwala yonke into, lukholelwa kuko konke, luthemba konke, lunyamezela konke. Uthando alusoze luphele. Ukuba kukho iziprofeto, ziya kuphela; ukuba ziilwimi, ziya kuyeka; ukuba lulwazi, luya kuphela. Kuba sazi ngokuyinxenye, kwaye siprofeta ngokuyinxenye, kodwa xa kufika okugqibeleleyo, okuyinxenye kuya kudlula. Xa ndandisengumntwana, ndandithetha njengomntwana, ndicinga njengomntwana, ndingqiqo njengomntwana; xa ndaba yindoda, ndazilahla izinto zobuntwana. Ngoku sibona ngokufiphala, njengasesipilini, kodwa ngoko siya kubona ubuso ngobuso. Ngoku ndiyazi ngokuyinxenye; ngoko ndiya kwazi ngokupheleleyo, njengokuba nam ndaziwa ngokupheleleyo. Ngoko ke, ukholo, ithemba, nothando ziya kuhlala, ezi zintathu; kodwa okukhulu kuzo luthando.
INdumiso · INdumiso 33:2-3, 4-5, 12 kunye ne-22
R. Noyolo abantu iNkosi ebakhethileyo ukuba babe lilifa layo. Yibani nombulelo eNkosini ngenqanaba; ngenqanaba elinemisonto elishumi culelani iindumiso zayo. Yiculani kuyo ingoma entsha; ngenqanaba elinemisonto elishumi, ngenkuthalo, ngenkolo. R. Noyolo abantu iNkosi ebakhethileyo ukuba babe lilifa layo.

Noyolo uhlanga oluThixo walo yinkosi, abantu ebakhethileyo ukuba babe lilifa layo. Makube phezu kwethu ububele bakho, Nkosi, thina esibeke ithemba lethu kuwe. R. Noyolo abantu iNkosi ebakhethileyo ukuba babe lilifa layo.
IVangeli · Luka 7:31-35
UYesu wathi kwizihlwele: 'Ndingabafanisa nani abantu beli xesha? Bafana nani? Bafana nabantwana abahleli ezintengweni, abakhwazana bodwa, besithi: "Sininqakule, kodwa anizange nidanse. Siculile isijwili, kodwa anizange nilile." Kuba uYohane uMbhaptizi weza engatyi sonka engaseli wayini, nathi, "Unedemon." UNyana woMntu weza esitya esisela, nathi, "Jongani, ligorha lokutya nesidakwa, umhlobo wabathelisi naboni." Kodwa ubulumko bugwetywa ngabo bonke abantwana babo.'
Noyolo abantu iNkosi ebakhethileyo ukuba babe lilifa layo.
Intshumayelo

Kukho umzuzu omnye, umfanekiso othi xa ndicinga ngoBenjamin Vo, undikhumbuze ngendlela uThixo asibona ngayo. Khumbula umfanekiso kaBen xa wayesemncinci, ehleli ecaleni kukayise, bejongene nekhompyutha, uBen echaza indlela anokuyila ngayo inkqubo entsha. Kwakungekho nje ukukrelekrele kwekhompyutha okanye umdla wakhe kwizindiza; kwakukho ukuzola kokuthanda ukufunda nokwabelana. UBen wayengumfana owayeyazi into yokuba ubomi, ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, bubudlelwane. Wayeyazi ukuba ukuba 'yindoda encane' akukho malunga nokuba ungaqonda kangakanani, kodwa malunga nokuba ungathanda kangakanani.

Namhlanje, uSanti Paulu usinika amazwi amandla kwiNcwadi eya kwabaseKorinte: 'Uthando luyanyamezela, uthando lunobubele.' La magama awangomthetho nje wokuziphatha. Ngumfanekiso woBuso bukaThixo. Xa uPaulu esithi 'uthando alusoze luphele,' usixelela ukuba uBen, ngoku, usekwelo thando lungapheliyo. UBen wayengumfana owayephethe lo moya wothando. Khumbula ukuba xa wayeneminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu, wafuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange ukuze ancede umalume wakhe uWilliam. Akazange ayaphule leyo ngulube yemali, akazange ayikhuphule, kodwa into ebalulekileyo kukuba wayenikile. Wayenikele ngayo yonke into awayenayo. Le yimveliso yentliziyo enothando olumsulwa, intliziyo eyayikwazi ukuzidela ngaphandle kokungabaza.

Kodwa masime apha. Masithethe inyaniso. Sekuphele iinyanga ezintathu uBen esishiye. Iinyanga ezintathu zokuziva ukuba indlu ithule kakhulu. Alan noThao, ndiyazi ukuba usizi luyinto enzima. Usizi aluhambi ngokwekhalenda. Niyazibuza ukuba kwenzeke ntoni. Niyazibuza ukuba kutheni lo mfana owayephila ngothando, owayephila ngobubele, kufuneka ahambe ngolu hlobo. Niyazibuza ukuba kukhona na eninokukwenza ngcono. Ndicela niphulaphule: Ukugula akulona iphutha lenu. Akukho nto eniyenze ngendlela engalunganga. UThixo akakubeki icala, kwaye noBen akakubeki icala. Susa lowo mthwalo wokuzisola egxalabeni lakho. Awuphosanga nto. Ubenze konke okusemandleni enu ngothando olungapheliyo. UBen wayekuthanda kakhulu. Wayekuthanda njengoba wayekuthanda ukulalela amabali kaBawo. Wayekuthanda njengoba wayekuthanda ukuhamba nawe, Ryan, kwi-roller coaster.

KwiVangeli, uYesu uthetha ngesizukulwana esingafuniyo ukudanisa xa kudlalwa umtshingo, okanye ukulila xa kuculwa isijwili. Abantu babengakwazi ukubona inyaniso kaThixo kuba babevaleleke kwiingcinga zabo. Kodwa uBen wayengafani nabo. UBen wayeyindoda encane eyayakha isiseko sayo edwaleni. Ukholo lwakhe, ububele bakhe, uthando lwakhe—konke oku kwakuyisiseko esomeleleyo. Xa isiphango sezifo size, loo ndlu ayizange iwe, kuba yayakhiwe kakuhle. UBen usekhululekile ngoku. Akasabandezeleki. Usebanquet yasezulwini, ecaleni kukaSanti Carlo Acutis, owayenomoya ofanayo nowakhe. UBen usekhaya.

Ryan, mfowethu omncane, uBen uyamthanda. Ungalokothi uzive ungedwa. UBen uyaqhubeka ekukhathalele. Qhubeka uphila ngesibindi, ube ngumfana owayeyiyo—onemfesane, onobubele, nonesibindi. UBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya ngomsebenzi wakhe wothando, njengaloo mthombo wamanzi eCà Mau, olethela ubomi kwabanye. Uthando lwakhe aluzange luphele; lusaqhubeka lugeza umhlaba njengolwandle olukhulu. Nani, Alan noThao, ningayeki ukuthanda. Nithandeke kakhulu nguThixo. UBen wayengumfana onikela ngayo yonke into yakhe. Nani, nikani konke usizi lwenu kuThixo. Musani ukuzama ukuluthwala lodwa. Vumelani uYesu ukuba abe lulwalwa lwenu. Xa uziva usizi, yithi: 'Nkosi, ndiyakuthanda, kwaye ndiyakuthemba.'

Uthando alusoze luphele. Le yindlela yethu. UBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo. Uthando lwenu luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye uBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Uthando lwakho lulukhanya olungasoze lwavaleleka. Uthando lwakho, njengaloo mthombo wamanzi, luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye luyaqhubeka lukhanyisa iindlela zethu. Khumbula ukuba uBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo, kwaye nathi, simele siphile ngaloo ndlela—ngothando olungagciniyo, ngoxolelo olungapheliyo, nangokholo olomeleleyo. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula.
