Ngingawuqeqetsha Njani Umzwangedwa Wami?

 Umzwangedwa wakho ungawufanisa lani?

  •   lemephu?

  •   lesibuko?

  •   lomngane?

  •   lomantshi?

 Impendulo zonke lezi ziqondile. Esihlokweni lesi sizabona ukuthi kungani ziqondile.

 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.

 Ake sixoxe ngezinye izibonelo.

Omunye umngane wami wathi ekubona lokhu laye wahle wayekela ukuyidlala.”—UJeremy oleminyaka engu-14.
