Patulani pomwe munabzalidwa

Monga Bishopu wa ku Geneva, Francis de Sales (1567-1622) analankhula mawu anzeru awa: “Zowonadi, chikondi sichidziŵa malire; pakuti chikondi cha Mulungu chatsanulidwa m’mitima mwathu mwa Mzimu wake wakukhala mwa yense wa ife, kutiyitana ife ku moyo wodzipereka ndi kutiitanira ife kuphuka m’munda umene adaubzala ndi kutilangiza kuti tiwalitse kukongola kwake ndi kufalitsa fungo la chisamaliro Chake.”

Lingaliro la kuphuka m'munda wa Mulungu ndi lochititsa chidwi. Duwa silikhudza komwe limamera. Mbewu zimagwera pansi pafupi ndi kholo, zimatengedwa ndi mphepo, kapena zimabalalitsidwa ndi mbalame. Amapeza malo awo m’nthaka yachonde, m’madzi kapena pamiyala yopanda kanthu. Nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikudabwa momwe maluwa ena adalowa m'munda mwanga; ambiri a iwo ndi alendo olandiridwa. Nditha kusankha mozindikira komwe ndingabzala mbewu.

Kuphuka kumene kunabzalidwa kumandikumbutsa duwa lomwe linamera pamalo achilendo. Mwamuna wanga anali atayika zolembera zowala m'mphepete mwa msewu. Zolemba zimenezi zinali za tichubu tating'ono koma zazitali zomwe ankadzaza ndi miyala. Duwa linapeza malo ake mu umodzi mwa machubu amenewa ndipo linanyalanyaza mikhalidwe yovuta kwambiri pochita bwino kwambiri malo ake.

Ndikayang'ana dandelion, ndimawona chomera chomwe chimakondedwa ndi ana. Mitu ya maluwa ake ndi yochititsa chidwi, koma ndi yolimba kwambiri. Ngakhale mutaukumba, umabwerera pokhapokha ngati mizu yonse yachotsedwa. Dandelions ndi amodzi mwa magwero oyamba a chakudya cha njuchi, zomwe zimawadyetsa ndi timadzi tokoma. M’malo mwake, njuchi zimatulutsa mungu m’zomera, n’kupereka moyo ku dziko lapansi—monga mmene Mulungu anakonzera. Tangoganizirani dzanja la Mulungu likutola duwalo ngati mbewu n’kuliphulitsa ku mphepo ndi mpweya wake kuti lipite kumene Mulungu akufuna kulibzala.

Kodi Mulungu anabzala kuti aliyense wa ife? Sitingathe kusankha malo athuathu, koma Mulungu ali ndi malo enieni komanso dongosolo lomveka bwino la aliyense wa ife. Taganizirani nkhani ya Yosefe. Ndithudi sichinali chisankho chake kugulitsidwa ku Aigupto ndi kuikidwa muukapolo kapena mndende (1. Mose 37-50). Koma Yosefe anagwiritsa ntchito bwino lomwe mkhalidwe wake; icho chinaphuka pamene Mulungu anachibzala icho. Mofananamo, Mulungu anasankha Saulo, amene pambuyo pake anadzatchedwa Paulo, panjira yopita ku Damasiko ndi kum’tumiza kwa anthu amene anawazunza. Paulo anatumizidwa kwa Amitundu ndipo potsirizira pake kundende, kumene analalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Kristu. Ili mwina silinali dongosolo la moyo wa Paulo, koma anakula pamene Mulungu anamubzala.

Mulungu waika aliyense wa ife pamalo ake enieni. Ngakhale kuti sitinganene zokumana nazo zonyanyira za Yosefe kapena Paulo, aliyense wa ife ali ndi cholinga chapadera. Tili pano kuti tikule, kudyetsa ena ndi timadzi tokoma ta Mawu a Mulungu, ndi kuchitira umboni chifundo, chisomo, ndi chikondi cha Mulungu. Miyoyo yathu imafotokoza nkhani ngakhale sitigwiritsa ntchito mawu. N’zoona kuti ifenso tili ndi zosankha zathuzathu. Kumasuka ku Mau a Mulungu ndi maitanidwe ake ndikofunika kwambiri kuti tikule mwauzimu.

Kodi kuphuka kumene munabzalidwa kumatanthauza chiyani? Mawu otchukawa amatilimbikitsa kuti tizibala zipatso, tizigwiritsa ntchito bwino moyo wathu ngakhale titakumana ndi mavuto, ndiponso kuti tichite zoyenera ngakhale zitakhala zovuta. Wamasalmo akulongosola zimenezi mochititsa chidwi: “Iye ali ngati mtengo wobzalidwa m’mphepete mwa mitsinje yamadzi, wakupatsa zipatso m’nyengo yake, ndipo masamba ake safota; Ndipo chilichonse chimene amachita chimayenda bwino.” (Sal 1,3) Phunzirani kuphuka kumene mwabzalidwa!
