Mmene Mungadalire Mulungu Tsopano popeza mwadziwa tanthauzo la kudalira Mulungu, kodi mungatani kwenikweni pa moyo wanu watsiku ndi tsiku? Ngati mumakhulupirira munthu, mumamasuka kukhala oona mtima ndi iye pa chilichonse. Mulungu ndi wodalirika kwambiri kuposa mnzako wodalirika kwambiri. Zinthu zikakhala zovuta, samakufunsani kuti musunge malingaliro amenewo. Tayani pa Iye nkhawa zanu zonse, pakuti Iye asamalira inu. ( 1 Petro 5:7 , New International Version ) Mumasunga zowawa zanga zonse. Mwasonkhanitsa misozi yanga yonse m’nsupa yanu. Aliyense mwawalemba m’Buku Lanu. ( Salmo 56:8 , New Living Translation ) Chifukwa chakuti Mulungu amakukondani, mukhoza kusonyeza chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Iye mwa kulankhula za mmene mukumvera ndi mmene zinthu zilili kwa Iye—zabwino ndi zovuta—kudzera m’pemphero. Musalole kutengeka mtima kwanu kulamulire moyo wanu; Abweretseni kwa Mulungu kuti akuthandizeni kuwalankhula. Sakhumudwitsidwa kapena kukhumudwa ndi zovuta zanu, kukayikira kapena zowawa zanu.

Mumachitanso pa kumvera (kuchita zomwe Mulungu akunena m'Mawu ake) ndikukhulupirira kuti pamapeto pake adzasamalira zina zonse. Podalira, simumayang'ana chitetezo m'zinthu zina; mumayang’ana kwa Mulungu kuti akusungeni m’mikhalidwe yovuta. Simungachite izi mwangwiro, koma Mulungu ndi wokoma mtima ndi woleza mtima ndi inu pamene mukuphunzira kumukhulupirira. Iye anati kwa iwo: “Moyo wanga uli ndi chisoni chambiri mpaka imfa. Khalani pano muyang'anire. Iye anapita patsogolo pang’ono, nagwa pansi napemphera kuti ngati n’kutheka nthawiyo ipitirire kwa Iye. “Abba, Atate,” Iye anatero, “zonse ndi zotheka kwa Inu. Chotsani chikho ichi kwa Ine. Koma osati chimene ndifuna Ine, koma chimene Inu mukufuna.” ( Marko 14:34-36 , NIV ) Yesu mwiniyo anathedwa nzeru ndi zimene zinali patsogolo pake, ndipo analunjika kwa Atate wake. Amasamalira zowawa zanu. Amamvetsera. N’zolimbikitsa kwambiri kudziwa kuti Mulungu wa chilengedwe chonse amakuganiziraninso. Kudziwa kuti Mulungu ali ndi inu kudzalimbitsa chidaliro chanu mwa Iye munthawi yamavuto ndi zosadziwika. Nazi njira zisanu ndi ziwiri zokhulupirira Mulungu pa moyo wanu watsiku ndi tsiku: 1.
