Ngaphandle kwezinzuzo ezihlobene nabo kakhulu, kungaba khona esinye isizathu laba bantu abangakaze baqonde uNkulunkulu ukuthi banikele kangaka Kuye? Kulokhu, sithola inkinga ebingabonakalanga ekuqaleni: ubudlelwano bomuntu noNkulunkulu kumane kumayelana nokuzihlenga yena siqu kuphela nje. Kubudlelwano phakathi kowemukela izibusiso nophisana ngezibusiso. Ukukubeka ngokusobala, kunjengobudlelwano phakathi kumqashi nomsebenzi. Umsebenzi usebenzela ukuthola imivuzo ayinikwa ngumqashi. Ebudlelwaneni obunjalo, alukho uthando, kukhona isivumelwano kuphela; akukho ukuthanda nokuthandwa, ukuphana nomusa kuphela; akukho ukuqonda, kuphela ukuduba nenkohliso; akukho ukuzwana, kuphela igebe elingenakuvalwa. Uma izinto sezifika lapha, ubani ongasihlehlisa lesi simo esiqhubekayo? Futhi bangaki abantu abakwazi ukuqonda ngempela ukuthi lobu budlelwano busesimweni esibucayi futhi esiqeda ithemba? Ngikholwa ukuthi abantu uma bezicwilisa enjabulweni yokubusiseka, abekho abakwazi ukucabanga ukuthi ubudlelwano obunjalo noNkulunkulu budala amahloni futhi abubukeki kangakanani.

Into edabukisa kakhulu ngenkolelo yesintu kuNkulunkulu ukuthi umuntu uyaziphatha ngokwakhe phakathi komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu futhi akakhathali ngokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu.

Ngisho noma abantu bangaqonda ukuthi badabukisa, bazondeka, futhi babanga umunyu kangakanani, bangaki abashiya ngokushesha le miqondo namathemba abo? Futhi ubani okwazi ukuma nse ezindleleni zabo futhi ayeke ukuzicabangela yena kuphela? UNkulunkulu udinga labo abazobambisana naye kakhulu ukuze bafeze ukuphatha Kwakhe. Udinga labo abazonikela umqondo kanye nomzimba wabo emsebenzini wokuphathwa Nguye ukuze bazithobe Kuye; Akadingi abantu abakhipha izandla zabo baMuncenge zonke izinsuku; akusaphathwa ukuthi Akabadingi labo abapha kancane bese belinda ukubuyiselwa ngesenzo sabo esihle. UNkulunkulu uyabazonda labo abanikela ngokuncane bese bephumula bezithela ngabandayo. Uyabazonda labo bantu abanesihluku abawucasukelayo umsebenzi wakhe wokuphatha futhi abafuna ukukhuluma kuphela ngokuya ezulwini nokuzuza izibusiso. Unenzondo enkulu nakakhulu yalaba abasebenzisa ithuba elilethwa umsebenzi awenzayo ekusindiseni isintu. Ingoba laba bantu abakaze bazikhathaze ngolokho uNkulunkulu afisa ukukuthola futhi akufinyelele ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha. Bazihlupha ngokuthi bangasebenzisa kanjani ithuba elivezwa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuthola izibusiso. Abakhathazekile ngenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, bazikhathaze ngokuphelele ngekusasa nesiphetho sabo. Labo abacasulwa umsebenzi wokuphatha kaNkulunkulu abangenandaba nakancane ukuthi uNkulunkulu usisindisa kanjani isintu kanye nentando Yakhe, bonke benza okuthandwa yibo, ngokungahambisani nomsebenzi wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu.
