Umuntu ongakhalaliyo kathwali imikhono ekhanda nxa kwenzakale into embi. Izinto ezenzakala empilweni yomuntu yizo ezimfundisa ukungakhalali. Umntanakho uzahlangana lobunzima obuzadinga ukuthi aphikelele njengoba nje lomntwana esiwa lapha lalaphaya nxa esacathula aze acine esehamba kuhle.

Abanye abantwana bayadana kakhulu nxa bangehluleka ukwenza abakufisayo loba bangahlangana lobunzima kumbe bangachothozwa. Abanye bahle bakhalale. Kodwa kulokuthi benze njalo kumele bazwisise okulandelayo:

• Kulezikhathi lapho esingasoze siphumelele ukwenza esikufisayo.​—UJakhobe 3:2.

• Izinto ezimbi zingenzakala kuloba ngubani.​—UmTshumayeli 9:12.

• Kunengi esikufundayo nxa siselulekwa.​—IZaga 9:9.

Ukungakhalali kuzabanceda ukuthi baqhubeke belwisana lobunzima.

Nxa umntanakho angehluleka ukwenza okuthile.

ISIMISO ESISEBHAYIBHILINI: “Angaze awe kakhombisa umuntu olungileyo uyavuka futhi.”​—IZaga 24:16.

Ncedisa umntanakho abone ukuthi uhlupho alalo lungakanani. Ngokwesibonelo, kuyini azakwenza angafeyila umhloliso? Angakhalala athi: “Vele akulalutho engenelisa ukulwenza!”

Ukuze umfundise ukuthi angakhalali msize acabange ngalokho okumele akwenze ukuze aphumelele ngesikhathi esizayo. Lokhu kuzamnceda alwisane lohlupho lolu kulokuthi aphongugoqa izandla esizwa ubuhlungu.

Akungabi nguwe omlungisela uhlupho. Mncedise acabange ukuthi angalulungisa njani. Ungambuza uthi: “Ubona angani kumele wenzeni ukuze uzwisise okufunda esikolo?”

Nxa engaba lohlupho.

ISIMISO ESISEBHAYIBHILINI: ‘Alikwazi ukuthi ukuphila kwenu kuzabe kunjani kusasa.’​—UJakhobe 4:14.

Impilo ingantshintsha loba nini, umuntu onothileyo angavuka esengumnyanga, lomuntu oqine saka angavuka esegula. IBhayibhili lithi: “Ukutshiya abanye kakuyi ngesiqubu kumbe ukunqoba impi kuye ngamandla . . . Abantu bafikelwa yizikhathi ezimbi ezibafikela belibele.”​—UmTshumayeli 9:11, 12.

Ungenza konke okwenelisayo njengomzali ukuze uvikele umntanakho. Kodwa iqiniso yikuthi ngeke wenelise ukumvikela kuzo zonke izinto ezimbi ezenzakalayo.

Kungenzakala ukuthi umntanakho kakafiki ebangeni lokusebenza kumbe kakahlangani lohlupho lokuswela imali. Lanxa kunjalo, ungamncedisa ngezinye inhlupho angabalazo khathesi ezigoqela ukulahlwa ngumngane loba ukufelwa yisihlobo. *

Nxa engacetshiswa.

ISIMISO ESISEBHAYIBHILINI: “Lalela ukucetshiswa . . . ngoba ekucineni uzahlakanipha.”​—IZaga 19:20.

Nxa umuntu ecebisa umntanakho, ayisikho ukuthi ufuna ukumzwisa ubuhlungu kodwa ufuna ukumncedisa ukuthi alungise lapho aphambanisa khona.

Ukufundisa umntanakho ukuthi avume ukucetshiswa kunceda wena laye. Umzali okuthiwa nguJohn uthi: “Abantwana kabasoze bafunde nxa behlala belungiselwa konke abakuphambanisayo. Bazahlala belenhlupho futhi uzahlala usiyabancedisa. Lokhu kuzakwenza ukuthi impilo yabazali labantwana ibenzima.”

Ungamncedisa njani ukuthi avume nxa ekhuzwa? Nxa umntanakho angakhuzwa mhlawumbe esikolo loba kwenye indawo, ungatshingi uthi bekungamelanga bamkhuze. Kulokuthi wenze njalo, mbuze uthi:

• “Ubona angani kungani bekukhuzile?”

• “Ungathuthuka njani?”

• “Kungenzakala into efananayo ngesikhathi esilandelayo uzakwenzani?”

Khumbula ukuthi ukucetshiswa kuzamnceda lanxa esekhulile.
