Impendulo yeBhayibhile
Nangona umntu enokuziva ngathi unesizathu sokuziphindezela, kodwa loo nto ayihambisani necebiso leBhayibhile elithi: “Uze ungathi: ‘Ndiza kumenza le nto andenze yona; ndiza kuziphindezela ngalento ayenzileyo.’” (IMizekeliso 24:29) IBhayibhile inamacebiso ancede abantu abaninzi bakwazi ukungaziphindezeli.
Kweli nqaku
Yintoni embi ngokufuna ukuziphindezela?
Xa umntu ekuvise kabuhlungu kuqhelekile ukuba ucaphuke uze ufune ukuba naye ohlwaywe. Kodwa ukuziphindezela akuhambisani nento ecetyiswa yiBhayibhile. Ngoba?
Xa abantu beziphindezela ngokwabo bakhathaza uThixo. EBhayibhileni uYehova a uThixo uthi: “Ndim ophindisayo; ndim obuyekezayo.” (Roma 12:19) IBhayibhile ikhuthaza ukuba bonke abo benziwe izinto ezimbi bazame ukuzilungisa kakuhle kunokuba baziphindezele. (Roma 12:18) Kodwa umntu angathini xa engakwazi ukuyilungisa kakuhle loo ngxaki okanye sele ezame ngamandla akhe onke ukuyilungisa kodwa ayide ilungiseke? IZibhalo zisikhuthaza ukuba sithembe uYehova ukuba uza kuzilungisa zonke izinto ezingahambi kakuhle.—INdumiso 42:10, 11.
UThixo umohlwaya njani umntu?

(Roma 13:1-4) Ngexesha elifanelekileyo, uThixo uza kubohlwaya bonke abantu abenza izinto ezimbi aze aziphelise ngonaphakade zonke izinto ezibuhlungu.—Isaya 11:4.
Ndingenza njani ukuze ndingaziphindezeleli?
Kuphephe ukwenza izinto ungacinganga. (IMizekeliso 17:27) Abantu abenza izinto benomsindo baqhele ukuzisola kamva. Kodwa abantu abacingayo ngaphambi kokwenza nantoni na badla ngokwenza izigqibo ezifanelekileyo.—IMizekeliso 29:11.
Zama ukwazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kanye kanye. (IMizekeliso 18:13) Umntu owenziwe into embi umele azibuze ukuba, ‘Ngaba zikhona izinto endingazaziyo ezenze lomntu wenza lento ayenzileyo? Ngaba kukho emstresayo? Okanye ngaba wenze engacinganga?’ Ngamanye amaxesha into enokubonakala ngathi yenziwe ngabom isenokuba ibiyimpazamo.
Ubuxoki obuthethwayo ngokuziphindezelela

Inyani: Xa umntu ehlaselwa unokukwazi ukuzimela okanye acele uncedo kwabasemagunyeni. Kodwa iBhayibhile ithi simele siyiphephe ingxabano okanye umlo nanini na sinokukwazi.—IMizekeliso 17:14.
