Abangane bayaxoxa ukuze bakhe ubuhlobo obuhle. Ngendlela efanayo, uNkulunkulu usimema ukuba sikhulume naye, ngaleyo ndlela esivulela ithuba lokuba nobuhlobo obuseduze naye. Uthi: “Niyongibiza futhi nize nithandaze kimi, futhi ngiyonilalela.” (Jeremiya 29:12) Njengoba ukhuluma noNkulunkulu, ‘uyosondela kuye, naye uyosondela kuwe.’ (Jakobe 4:8) IBhayibheli liyasiqinisekisa: “UJehova useduze nabo bonke abambizayo.” (IHubo 145:18) Njengoba siqhubeka sithandaza kuNkulunkulu, ubuhlobo bethu naye buyokhula.

UJesu wathi: “Ngubani phakathi kwenu okuthi lapho indodana yakhe icela isinkwa ayinike itshe? Noma, mhlawumbe uma icela inhlanzi—ngeke ayinike inyoka, akunjalo? Ngakho-ke, uma nina, nakuba nibabi, nikwazi ukupha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, yeka ukuthi uYihlo osemazulwini uyobapha kakhulu kangakanani izinto ezinhle labo abamcelayo!” (Mathewu 7:9-11) Yebo, uNkulunkulu ukumema ukuba uthandaze ngoba ‘uyakukhathalela’ futhi ufuna ukukusiza. (1 Petru 5:7) Ukumema nokuba uthululele izinkinga zakho kuye. IBhayibheli liyasitshela: “Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kodwa kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngomthandazo nangokunxusa kanye nokubonga.”—Filipi 4:6.

Izazi ezifunda ukwakheka komuntu zithole ukuthi izigidi zabantu zinaso isidingo sokuthandaza. Ngisho nabanye abantu abakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu akekho baphakathi kwalabo abanalesi sidingo. * Lokhu kufakazela iqiniso lokuthi abantu badalwe benesidingo esingokomoya. UJesu wathi: “Bayajabula abaqaphela isidingo sabo esingokomoya.” (Mathewu 5:3) Enye indlela esinganelisa ngayo leso sidingo ukuxhumana njalo noNkulunkulu.
