Nokuba abanye abantu baye bakuphatha kakubi, qiniseka ukuba uYehova uyakuthanda futhi uyakuxabisa. Xa ‘utyumkile emoyeni,’ khumbula ukuba uYehova wabona izinto ezintle entliziyweni yakho, waza wakutsalela kuye. (Yoh. 6:44) Usoloko efuna ukukunceda kuba ukuxabisile. Xa sicinga izinto ezenziwa nguYesu, sinokuyazi indlela uYehova aziva ngayo. Xa wayelapha emhlabeni, wayebabona abantu abajongelwa phantsi aze abaphathe kakuhle. (Mat. 9:9-12) Xa elinye ibhinqa elalinethemba lokuba liza kuphiliswa kwisifo esibuhlungu labamba isambatho sakhe, uYesu walithuthuzela, waza wayincoma indlela elalinokholo ngayo. (Marko 5:25-34) Wayezibonakalisa zinjengokuba zinjalo iimpawu zikaTata wakhe. (Yoh. 14:9) Ngoko qiniseka ukuba uYehova ukuxabisile, futhi uyazibona iimpawu zakho ezintle, ezinjengokholo nokumthanda. w24.10 7 ¶4-5

Ebomini bakhe, uDavide waba neengxaki ezininzi ezamenza wakhala. Wacatshukelwa ngabantu, wajikelwa nangabo wayebathembile. (1 Sam. 19:10, 11; 2 Sam. 15:10-14, 30) Kwixesha elalinzima kakhulu ebomini bakhe, wabhala wathi: “Ukuncwina kwam kunditheza amandla; ibhedi yam imanzi tixi ziinyembezi zobusuku bonke; indawo endingqengqa kuyo idada iinyembezi zam.” (INdu. 6:6) Ngoxa uDavide wayeneengxaki, wayeqinisekile ukuba uYehova usamthanda. Wade wabhala esithi: “UYehova uza kusiva isikhalo sam.” (INdu. 6:8) Amazwi etekisi yanamhlanje asenza siqonde ukuba uYehova usithanda kakhulu, futhi uyikhathalele indlela esiziva ngayo. KuDavide yaba ngathi uYehova uyaziqokelela iinyembezi zakhe azifake ebhotileni okanye uzibhala kwincwadi Yakhe. Wayeqinisekile ukuba uYehova uyayibona intlungu yakhe futhi akasoze ayilibale. Enye into awayeqiniseke ngayo kukuba uTata wakhe osezulwini onothando, wayengapheleli nje ekuzazini iingxaki awayenazo, wayeyazi nendlela ezazimenza azive ngayo. w24.12 22 ¶11-12

Simele sisebenze nzima ukuze sibe ngamaKristu akhule ngokupheleleyo nokuze sihlale singawo. Ukuze yenzeke loo nto, kufuneka silumkele ukuzithemba kakhulu. (1 Kor. 10:12) Simele ‘sihlale sizihlola’ ukuba siqhubeka sikhula na. Kwileta awayibhalela amaKristu aseKolose, umpostile uPawulos waphinda wayiveza indlela ekubaluleke ngayo ukuba sihlale sikhule ngokupheleleyo. Nangona ayekhule ngokupheleleyo, uPawulos wathi amele alumkele ukulahlekiswa yindlela abacinga ngayo abantu behlabathi. (Kol. 2:6-10) NoEpafra, ekubonakala ngathi wayewazi kakuhle la maKristu, waqhubeka ewathandazela ukuba ‘ekugqibeleni ame eqinile.’ (Kol. 4:12) Yintoni esinokuyifunda thina? UPawulos noEpafra babesazi ukuba ukuze sihlale sikhulile sidinga ukuncedwa nguThixo, kodwa nathi simele sisebenzele ukuya simthanda. Babefuna ukuba kuzo zonke iingxaki adibana nazo amaKristu aseKolose, ahlale eqolile okanye ekhule ngokupheleleyo. w24.04 6-7 ¶16-17
