Meaninglessness

by Noelene Curry

Um(Imi)bhalo weBhayibheli

NgokukaJohane 13

Ukukhazimuliswa kukaJesu; umyalo wokuthandana; uJesu uthi uzophikwa nguPetru

31Ngakho esephumile, uJesu wathi: “Kalokhu iNdodana yomuntu ikhazimulisiwe, noNkulunkulu ukhazimulisiwe kuyo. 32Uma uNkulunkulu ekhazimulisiwe kuyo, noNkulunkulu uyakuyikhazimulisa kuye, uyakuyikhazimulisa masinyane.

33“Bantwanyana, ngise khona nani isikhashana. Niyakungifuna, nanjengalokho ngasho kubaJuda ukuthi lapho ngiya khona ningeze nina, ngisho nakinina manje.

34“Ngininika umyalo omusha wokuba nithandane; njengalokhu nginithandile, nani nithandane. 35Ngalokho bonke bayakukwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma nithandana.”

36USimoni Petru wathi kuye: “Nkosi, uya ngaphi na?”

UJesu waphendula wathi: “Lapho ngiya khona, ungengilandele kalokhu; kepha uyakungilandela kamuva.”

37Wathi kuye uPetru: “Nkosi, ngingekulandele kalokhu ngani na? Ngizakudela ukuphila kwami ngenxa yakho.”

NgokukaJohane 13:31-37ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

If we truly love ourselves, God and one another and dwell in the love given us, life will be meaningful. If we dwell in places where love is not, we will find life meaningless and we will continue to struggle.  When we experience meaninglessness, take time to see where the Source of Love is and dwell in God’s tender care. Begin with loving yourself and the meaning  of God’s love for you will become clear as will God’s love that will enable you to find meaning once more.
