Kuyini umzwangedwa?
Umzwangedwa yilokho umuntu akuzwa ngaphakathi kumtshela okuqondileyo lokungaqondanga. IBhayibhili lithi umzwangedwa ‘unjengomthetho olotshwe enhliziyweni.’ (KwabaseRoma 2:15, Holy Bible in Ndebele) Umzwangedwa ofundisiweyo uyamnceda umuntu ukuthi akhethe kuhle njalo uyamthonisisa nxa angenza into embi.
Umzwangedwa wakho unjengemephu. Uyakutshengisa indlela okumele uhambe ngayo ukuze ungazitheli emanyaleni.
Umzwangedwa wakho unjengesibuko. Uyakutshengisa lokho oyikho ngaphakathi.
Umzwangedwa wakho unjengomngane. Ungakucebisa njalo ukuncede futhi nxa ungawulalela uzaphumelela.
Umzwangedwa wakho unjengomantshi. Uyakuthonisisa nxa ungenza into embi.
Umzwangedwa ofundiswe kuhle uzakunceda ukuthi wenelise ukukhetha kuhle
Umcijo yilo: Umzwangedwa wakho ungakunceda ukuthi (1) ukhethe kuhle (2) lokuthi ulungise amaphutha akho.
Kungani kumele uqeqetshe umzwangedwa wakho?
IBhayibhili lisikhuthaza ukuthi ‘sihlale silomzwangedwa omuhle.’ (1 UPhetro 3:16) Kunzima ukukwenza lokhu nxa umzwangedwa wakho ungaqeqetshwanga.
“Ngangijayele ukuqambela abazali bami amanga ngokuthi ngiyangaphi. Ekuqaliseni umzwangedwa wami wawungihlupha, kodwa ngokuya kwesikhathi kwakungasathi thiki.”—UJennifer oleminyaka engu-18.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi umzwangedwa kaJennifer wamfuqa ukuthi atshele abazali bakhe iqiniso, angabafihleli lutho.
Ongacabanga ngakho: Umzwangedwa kaJennifer kwakumele umtshele nini ukuthi akwenzayo kubi?
“Kunzima njalo kuyadina ukuphila impilo embaxambili. Nxa ungayekela ukulalela umzwangedwa wakho kanye nje kuphela, kuba lula ukuthi uhle uyekela ukuwulalela.”—UMatthew oleminyaka engu-21.
Abanye abantu abawulaleli umzwangedwa wabo. IBhayibhili lithi: “Akusathi thiki kubo nxa beziphatha kubi.” (Kwabase-Efesu 4:19) Enye inguqulo yeBhayibhili ithi “abaselanhloni ngitsho.”
Ongacabanga ngakho: Ubona angani abantu abalomzwangedwa ongabathonisisiyo nxa bangenza okubi bangcono yini? Yiziphi inhlupho abangaba lazo?
Umcijo yilo: Ukuze ube lomzwangedwa omuhle kumele ‘uzifundise ukwehlukanisa okuhle lokubi ngokusebenzisa amandla akho okuqedisisa.’—KumaHebheru 5:14.
Ungawuqeqetsha njani umzwangedwa wakho?
Nxa ufuna ukuqeqetsha umzwangedwa wakho kufanele ube lezimiso kanye lemithetho oyilandelayo ezakutshengisa indlela okumele uphile ngayo. Abanye abantu balandela imithetho efakwe:
ngabazali lamasiko
ngabentanga yabo
ngabantu abadumileyo
Kodwa iBhayibhili yilo lodwa elisitshela indlela engcono kakhulu okumele siphile ngayo. Lokhu akusimangalisi ngoba uNkulunkulu owasidalayo nguye ‘owaphefumulela’ iBhayibhili futhi usazi ngcono kakhulu.—2 KuThimothi 3:16.
