Namuhla, noma ngubani ongenzi ngokwentando Yami, noma lowo obona intando Yami ngokungeyikho, kufanele alahlwe futhi asuswe embusweni Wami. Embusweni Wami akekho omunye—bonke bangamadodana Ami, labo engibathandayo futhi abangicabangelayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bayilabo abenza ngokuhambisana nezwi Lami futhi abakwazi ukubusa ngamandla egameni Lami ukuze bahlulele zonke izizwe nabo bonke abantu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bayiqembu lamadodana angamazibulo, angenacala futhi agcwele impilo; aqondile navulekile; athembekile futhi ahlakaniphile. Intando Yami yanelisiwe ngani, futhi lokho engifisa ukukwenza kugcwaliseka kini, akunamaphutha, kuvuleke futhi kwambulwa ngokuphelele. Labo abanezinhloso nezinjongo ezimbi—sengiqalile ukubalahla, futhi ngizobenza bawe ngamunye. Ngizobabhubhisa ngamunye kuze kufike eqophelweni lapho bengakwazi khona ukusinda—futhi konke lokhu kubhekise emimoyeni yabo, emiphefumulweni yabo, nasemizimbeni yabo.

Kulabo abangakholwa futhi abamelana Nami, ngiyobavumela nje baqhubeke nokwenzekayo, kodwa ekugcineni kufanele ngibenze baqonde ukuthi ngiwukwahlulela okunobukhosi. Abangakholwa banamuhla bazi kuphela okwenzeka phambi kwamehlo abo, kodwa abayazi intando Yami. Amadodana Ami kuphela, lawo engiwathandayo, azi futhi aqonda intando Yami. Emadodaneni Ami, ngambulwa ngokuphelele, kodwa kuSathane ngiwukwahlulela okunobukhosi, okungafihliwe neze. Namuhla ngamadodana Ami angamazibulo kuphela afanelwe ukwazi intando Yami—akekho omunye ofanalekile, futhi lokhu kuyinto engayilungiselela ngaphambi kokudalwa. Ukuthi ngubani obusiswayo nalowo ohlushwayo konke kwalungiselelwa Yimi ngokufanele ngaphambili, ngangicacelwe ngalokhu, futhi namuhla sekuvele kubonakele ngokugcwele: Labo ababusisiwe baqalile ukuthokozela izibusiso zabo, kanti labo abahlushwayo nabo sebeqalile ukwehlelwa yinhlekelele. Labo abangafuni ukwehlelwa ukuhlushwa noma kunjalo bayohlupheka ngoba lokhu kuyinto emiselwe futhi lokhu kuyinto izandla Zami zezinqumo zokuphatha eziyilngiselele. Empeleni luhlobo luni lomuntu obusisiwe futhi luhlobo luni lomuntu ohlushwayo? Sengivele ngizembulile lezi zinto; lokhu akuyona imfihlakalo kini, kodwa kunalokho kungaphandle obala: Labo abangamukelayo kodwa abanezinhloso ezingalungile; labo abangaziyo kodwa abangalaleli; labo abenza inkohlakalo nobuqili ukuze bangikhohlise; labo abafunda amazwi kodwa bakhiphe okuphambene; labo abangazazi, abangazi ukuthi bayini, abazicabanga bebakhulu, futhi abacabanga ukuthi sebefinyelele ekuvuthweni (isibonelo sikaSathane), laba bangafanele ukuhlushwa. Labo abangamukelayo futhi abanezinhloso ezibheke Kimi (futhi uma benza iziphazamiso ngeke ngikhumbule amacala abo, kodwa izinhloso zabo kufanele zilunge futhi kufanele bahlale beqaphele, becophelele futhi bangabi ngabangeqotho, futhi kufanele bahlale bakugcine ezinhliziyweni zabo ukungizwa nokungilalela); labo abamsulwa; labo abavulekile; labo abethembekile; labo abangalawulwa ngomunye umuntu, into, noma udaba; labo abafana nabantwana ekubonakaleni nakuba bevuthiwe empilweni, laba bayizithandwa Zami, abaqondwe yisibusiso Sami.
