Isizathu sokuba yenzeke
Ukubhalelana imiyalezo namajelo okunxibelelana enza kube lula ukuziva uthanda umntu ongakuthandiyo. Khawuve oko kuthethwa lolunye ulutsha.

“Ukufaka ubuso obuncumileyo kumyalezo kunokubonisa ukuba ndinobubele okanye ndidlala ngothando. Ngamanye amaxesha umntu ofumana umyalezo unokucinga ukuba udlala ngothando.”—UAlicia.
Inyaniso kukuba: Sukucinga ukuba umntu xa ekuhoyile uyakuthanda.
Ukuthetha akufani nokwenza! IBhayibhile ithi: “Intliziyo inenkohliso kunayo nantoni na yaye iyatyhudisa.” (Yeremiya 17:9) Inokukwenza ube neemvakalelo eziza kuphela esithubeni xa ufumanisa ukuba nguwe wedwa ubumthanda.
Oko unokukwenza
Cingisisa kuqala. Yima kancinci uze uhlole ubuhlobo benu. Zibuze, Ngaba ikhona into ebangela ukuba ndicinge ukuba lo mntu undiphatha ngokwahlukileyo kwabanye? Sukuvumela iimvakalelo zakho ziphembelele ‘amandla akho engqiqo.’—Roma 12:1.
Yiba nengqiqo. Endaweni yokujonga iimpawu ezinokwenza ucinge ukuba niyathadana, jonga ezo ziphikisana naloo nto. Sukuthi ngenxa yokuba umthanda loo mntu, ucinge ukuba naye uyakuthanda.
Yiba nomonde. De loo mntu akuxelele phandle ukuba ufuna nithandane, sukuzithembisa kakhulu ngento engekhoyo.
Nyaniseka. IBhayibhile ithi kukho ‘ixesha lokuthetha.’ (INtshumayeli 3:7) Xa ufuna ukwazi ukuba umntu uyakuthanda, yiya kuye uze umbuze. Intombazana egama linguValerie ithi: “Ukuba lo mntu akakuthandi, kungcono ukhathazeke ngoku kunokuqaphela emva kweenyanga ukuba ebengakuthandi kwasekuqaleni.”
Inyaniso kukuba: IMizekeliso 4:23 ithi: “Londoloza intliziyo yakho.” Ukuba uthanda umntu, zama ukuqonda ukuba uyakuthanda na yena. Ukuvumela iimvakalelo zothando zikhule ngaphambi kokuqonda ukuba uyathandwa na kufana nokutyala isityalo elityeni.
Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba lo mntu uyakuthanda—ube ukwimnyaka yokuba ungathandana yaye ukulungele—kuxhomekeke kuwe ukuba ufuna ukuthandana kusini na. Khumbula, umtshato owomeleleyo ubunjwa yindoda nomfazi abanosukelo lwezinto zobuthixo olufanayo, abathetha phandle nabanyanisekileyo omnye komnye. (1 Korinte 7:39) Phofu, bebehleli bezitshomi—ibe basaqhubeka bezizo.—IMizekeliso 5:18.
