TSHIMOLOHO 1

24Yaba Modimo o re: “Lefatshe le hlahise dibopuwa tse phelang, ka mefuta ya tsona: Makgomo, le dihahabi, le diphoofolo tse hlaha ka mefuta ya tsona.” Ha fela ha eba jwalo. 25Modimo a etsa diphoofolo tse hlaha ka mefuta ya tsona, le makgomo ka mefuta ya wona, le dihahabi tsohle ka mefuta ya tsona. Modimo a bona hore hoo ho hotle.

26Jwale Modimo a re: “A re etseng motho ka setshwano sa rona le ka sebopeho sa rona, mme a laole ditlhapi tsa lewatle, le dinonyana tse fofang, le makgomo, le lefatshe lohle, le tsohle tse hahabang hodima lefatshe.”

27Yaba Modimo o bopa motho ka setshwano sa hae, o mmopa ka setshwano sa Modimo; a bopa e motona le e motshehadi.

TSHIMOLOHO 1:24-27SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

Some years back, my Korean friend’s four-and-a-half year-old daughter, Tjaehe, sat on my knee and asked me to draw a picture of God. I was taken aback. ‘Draw God … where do I start?’ I turned the question back to Tjaehe. I asked her to remember all the stories of God that she has heard and then tell me what she imagines God to look like. She thought for a while and then drew her mother and father sitting down with her on their knees and she was holding her baby brother in her arms. She captured the essence of God; a God whose knee she could climb on and ask questions; a God who  would comfort her and explain things that puzzle her.
