EYEZIQALO 1

24Kwakhona uThixo uthe umhlaba mawuvelise iintlobo zonke zezinto ezinobomi: oozinkomo, izinto ezirhubuluzayo nezinambuzane, nazo zonke iindidi zamarhamncwa. Kwaba njalo ke. 25Wazenza zonke ke uThixo izilo ngokweendidi zazo, noozinkomo ngokweendidi zazo, nezilwanyane ezirhubuluzayo nezinambuzane ngokweendidi zazo. Waza ke uThixo wakholwa zezo zinto.

26Waza ke uThixo wathi: “Masenze umntu abe ngumfuziselo wethu, afane nathi. Makabe negunya, alawule iintlanzi elwandle, iintaka ezibhabha esibhakabhakeni, iinkomo, nazo zonke izilo nezinambuzane elizweni.” 27Wamdala ke uThixo umntu. Wamenza wangumfuziselo wakhe. Wadala umntu oyindoda kwakunye nomntu obhinqileyo.

EYEZIQALO 1:24-27XHO96Vula kumfundi weBhayibhile

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.
