Uma uthandana nothile, yini ezokusiza unqume ukuthi uzoshada yini noma cha? Zinikeni isikhathi sokwazana kahle. Cishe zikhona izinto ozifundile ngomuntu othandana naye ngaphambi kokuba niqale ukuthandana. Kodwa manje usunethuba lokwazi ‘umuntu osithekile wenhliziyo.’ Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukwazi okwengeziwe ngengokomoya lakhe, ubuntu bakhe nendlela acabanga ngayo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kufanele ukwazi ukuphendula imibuzo enjengale: ‘Lo muntu uzokwazi yini ukuba umngani wami womshado okahle?’ (IzAga 31:​26, 27, 30; Efe. 5:33; 1 Thim. 5:8) ‘Singakwazi yini ukwanelisa izidingo ezingokomzwelo zomunye nomunye? Singakwazi yini ukubekezelela ubuthaka bomunye nomunye?’ (Roma 3:23) Njengoba nazana kangcono, khumbula: Ukufanelana kwenu kuncike kakhulu ekutheni nizivumelanisa kangakanani nezimo ezintweni eningafani kuzo, hhayi ezintweni enifana kuzo. w24.05 27 ¶5

INkosi uDavide yenza iphutha elibi kakhulu. Kodwa lapho umprofethi uNathani emtshela ngesono ayesenzile, ngokuthobeka uDavide waphenduka. (IHu. 51:​3, 4, 17, umbhalo ongenhla) INkosi uHezekiya nayo yona kuJehova. (2 IziKr. 32:25) Kodwa njengoDavide, uHezekiya wazithoba waphenduka. (2 IziKr. 32:26) Ekugcineni, uJehova wambheka njengenkosi ethembekile ‘eyaqhubeka yenza okulungile.’ (2 AmaKh. 18:3) Yini esiyifundayo? Kudingeka siphenduke ezonweni zethu, senze konke esingakwenza ukuze singaziphindi. Kuthiwani uma abadala ebandleni beseluleka, ngisho noma beseluleka ngento esibona sengathi iwubala? Akufanele sibe nomuzwa wokuthi uJehova nabadala abasithandi. Ngisho namakhosi amahle akwa-Israyeli ayesidinga iseluleko nesiyalo. (Heb. 12:6) Lapho selulekwa, kufanele (1) sithobeke, (2) senze izinguquko ezidingekayo, futhi (3) siqhubeke sikhonza uJehova ngenhliziyo yonke. Uma siphenduka ezonweni zethu, uJehova uyosithethelela.—2 Kor. 7:​9, 11. w24.07 21 ¶8; 22 ¶9, 11

Umuntu owonile uyasuswa ebandleni uma eyenqaba imizamo yabadala ephindaphindiwe yokumsiza ukuba aphenduke. (2 AmaKh. 17:​12-15) Izenzo zakhe zibonisa ukuthi akafuni ukuphila ngokuvumelana nemiyalo kaJehova. (Dut. 30:​19, 20) Kwenziwa isaziso ukuze kwaziswe ibandla ukuthi akaseyena omunye woFakazi BakaJehova. Injongo yaleso saziso akukhona ukuhlazisa umuntu owenze isono. Kunalokho, senziwa ukuze ibandla likwazi ukulandela iseluleko esingokomBhalo esithi “niyeke ukuzihlanganisa” nalowo muntu, “ningadli ngisho nokudla” naye. (1 Kor. 5:​9-11) UJehova unesizathu esihle sokusinika lowo myalo. Umphostoli uPawulu wabhala: “Imvubelo encane iyibilisa yonke inhlama.” (1 Kor. 5:6) Izoni ezingaphenduki zingabathena amandla labo abazama ukuphila ngemiyalo kaJehova.—IzAga 13:20; 1 Kor. 15:33. w24.08 27 ¶3-4
