Ba ntse u felloa ke. 'Me seo se ka boleloa sebeng sohle. sebeng sohle feta Link feela, e se etsahala hobane lipelo tsa rōna ea litaelo tse fosahetseng. Le liketso tsa rōna latela.
'Me o boetse o re, "Ba sa kang ba tseba litsela tsa ka." sebapali Molimo e ne e bile e bapalitsoe feletseng ka pel'a bona - mohau oa hae le matla a hae, jj. 'Me o ile a ba fa laela hore ba latele litsela tsa Hae, ho latela tsela ea hae. Empa ho e-na ba ile ba khetha ho latela tseleng e 'ngoe. O ea neng ileng a se lokolla Faro le arola Leoatle le Lefubelu! Ho sa kholoe hore ba ne ba sa mo tšepe ka mor'a ho bona hore. Ba ile ba bona mesebetsi ea hae e, empa ba ne ba sa tsebe litsela tsa Hae.
Christian, na u hlokomela hore sena ke seo u se ntse u etsa ha u entse sebe? Hore u se ke ua feela oela theoha pere kapa tlang khutšoanyane ea bokhoni ba hao feletseng? O khetha e tseleng moemedi wa sona ho ea hore Molimo o behile tsoa bakeng u. U re, "Molimo, Ke bone litsela tsa hao 'me ha ke rate. Ke hlokomela kamoo ho u batla hore ke phele, 'me ke nahana ka tsela ea ka ke molemo. Ke 'na bohlale ho u feta le Khosi molemo ho feta u. Ke tl'o khetha tseleng ea ka. "Sena ke khopo. 'Me sena ke seo re se etsang nako le nako re etsa sebe. sebe sa rōna se na molemo ho feta sebe sa korotla ena, belaele, molokong o mong e khopo ho tloha temana ena.
Re lokela ho nahana ka nepo oa sebe sa rōna, kapa re ke ke ra hloea e joaloka re lokela. Etsa eng kapa eng ho nka ho bona sebe sa hao ka nepo. Ho mobe. U se ke ua leka ho etsa hore se be setle.

"Ha ho re o ile a khetha ho se mamele Molimo. Re ile a khetha ho etsa ntho e itseng tse ling ntle ho seo Molimo a re laetseng sona ho etsa, hobane re sa rate seo a se buang. Eo ke ntho ea sebele mobe oa sebe. Esita le joalokaha balumeli ba batlang ho etsa thato ea Molimo, re loanela ho boloka pono hantle ka sebe sa rona.
Ralph Venning Thusa re tlas'a ema yona ho ya ka Boetsalibe ea Sin ha a re, "Ka bokhutšoane, sebe sa hae se sa iteta sefuba ea toka ea Molimo, ho betoa ha mohau oa hae, ea soma oa mamello ea hae, ea hanyenyane ea matla a hae, ea eisa lerato la hae.

temoso ea mopesaleme ea fanang ka mona qala ka mantsoe a, "Le se ke thatafatsa pelo ea hao." Ha e le hantle moelelo u se ke ua ho ntse manganga 'me a hane litaelo tsa Molimo. Le temoso eo e sebetsa ho rōna hammoho. Sena ke ke hobane'ng ha mongoli oa Baheberu popolari fihlang karolo ena 'me e re lemosa Baheberu khahlanong oela-hang.
Ha u le manganga li lahla litaelo tsa Molimo, o pelong fumana boima haholo ha ka nako e telele. lipelo tsa sebele ho thata ka tlwaelo etsahala lilemo tse fetang spans e telele ea nako, eseng ho panya ha leihlo. Re nahana hore re tla hlola ba mofuta oa motho eo ho qetella ka sebe sa bakeng, empa re ka se khonang. Hlile lipelo tsa thata etsahala ha nako e ntse ha re khetha ho se mamele Molimo linthong tseo holimonyana 'me ka makhetlo-khetlo. A shebahala potlakela mona, ntlo e nyenyane ea robala moo, 'me ha nako e ntse re e-ba desensitized ho etsa sebe' me ba qala ho lokafatsa e. Le pele u tseba, re ntse u etsa eka feela, ho fihlela re khathala ea iketsang eka le khaotse ho latela Jesu ka ho feletseng. Bao lintoa tse nyenyane ha e le hantle se seholohali se.
Kahoo, haeba u se u mona kajeno le ka ho lumella ba bang hore ba lule ba etsa sebe bophelong ba hao, bake! hona joale! Ipolela sebe sa hao ho batho ba bang. U se ke ua qala potoloho ena ea satalatsa pelo ea hao. Ho e-na tšepa litsela tsa hao, tseba hae. Follow litsela tsa Hae. Tšepa Jesu 'me ba lumela Lentsoe la Hae. O oa u rata 'me au fileng laela molemong oa hao. Follow tseleng ea hae e.
OK, kahoo bohale ba Molimo e halefisoa ke sebe le ho se sebe se khetha e tseleng moemedi wa sona. Joale? Ke'ng e lebaka la ho khetha tseleng ena moemedi wa sona?

kea leboha, Trip. I wanted to get your take on something because you have been someone who has played a big role in my walk with Christ. This will be long, so if you don’t get around to it, I understand.
As I spent more and more time in the word, there were scriptures that would come up that shook that trust/grace foundation that I described earlier and took me back to my childhood. My father especially (who was young in the faith at the time, so I don’t hold it against him) was very quick to stress God’s justice without balancing it with teaching about his mercy. Ka mohlala, he taught me at a very young age that I must repent of all my sins in order to be saved, that many Christians will be in for a rude awakening on Judgment Day because they think that Jesus will welcome them when they still break God’s law, jj. He was huge on speaking in tounges, many other things but didn’t hit much on the trusting God part.
As more and more doubts crept in and I became deeply interested in theology, somewhere along the line I set a pattern of trying to take things into my own power and figure everything out intellectually instead of drawing close and waiting on God. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent researching theological stuff, unanswered questions, looking up scriptures in Greek, jj. on the internet this last year. My thought process has been “Well if Jesus has all of these conditions, then I need to make sure that I meet the conditions.” Thus, my walk became intellectual and perfectionistic. What was once so simple became utterly complicated, my trust was crippled, and thus I’m still in a pretty burdened time in my walk with Christ right now.
I notice two opposing unbalanced camps within Christianity and I’m sure you may agree- 1) an “obedience” camp and 2) Jesu o lefile tsohle e” camp. The obedience camp is quick to stress our responsibility and usually references the synoptic Gospels, revelation, the OT, jj. The Jesus paid it all camp stresses trusting him alone and seems to rely very heavily on Paul. When I first started walking with Christ, I definitely had the mindset of Camp 2, but the more I studied the Scriptures and (ka masoabi, the opinions of men on the internet) I became very startled about doubting my understanding of the grace that changed my life. Camp 1 is great about stressing God’s righteousness and unchanging nature but seems to try to manufacture obedience from fleshly willpower. They will reference stuff like the “Lord, Lord… I never knew you” scripture. Camp 2 is great about stressing God’s forgiveness and the sunshine and rainbows stuff, but portrays God as if he is two completely different people from the OT to NT. They’ll reference that nothing can separate us from God’s love and that type of stuff. God’s truth has to be somewhere in the balanced middle, tokelo? My goal is just to know God for who He says He is and have a biblical balanced understanding of all of his attributes. I’m having the hardest time getting back to just trusting him and being in relationship with him because I’m constantly worried about “not being able to figure everything out” (I’m relying on my own understanding terribly). The only thing that I take comfort in right now is this- Getting back to walking and talking with God and trusting that He will take this thing wherever he needs to take it if I would just trust him to do it. If he has all of these conditions, then my job is to trust that his grace will help me meet them.
haholo Love, Trip.

I saw your angst, and you’re right. There are basically two camps when you look at the big picture. There is balance though, and I know you can receive it. I say receive rather than find because the Lord tells us, “knock and the door shall be opened”. Studying the Word is good, don’t stop. empa, are you also in prayer? I’m not talking about praying with a feeling of obligation or a laundry list of requests. empa, praying truly from your heart. It’s something to practice, I’ve been learning how to do it better myself lately. First, praise God for who He is. Then ask for forgiveness, specific forgiveness. After that approach the throne with your concerns, worries and burdens. Wrap it up with more praise. There are some great apps out there that can help with this (Examen and Examine). Both are prayer apps that a friend of mine highly suggests. I haven’t decided which one to do yet. I would also suggest reading the book, Fervent, by Priscilla Shirer. I am reading it right now. It’s about prayer and spiritual warfare and it’s been so great! Really eye opening. I am thinking more and more that in Western society we are spiritually asleep. We have a casual approach to prayer and spiritual warfare is a fairy tale – but it is all very real. You will find peace in prayer – talk with God about your questions. It’s okay to ask questions. I hope you’re able to see this and I hope it helps you Evan!
