I am he – Day 8

Sometimes He Suffers

He notices that everything in his life does not always run smoothly. He gets hurt when unpleasant things happen to him, sometimes as a result of his own wrong choices. But there are also situations that hurt him over which he has no control. Sometimes he battles to free himself of his past, but at other times he manages to talk to God about his suffering and to confront the pain. Then he realises that he can start anew, in spite of all that might have happened before.

And you discover: I am he!

Ke nna feela ya phonyohileng ho tla o tsebisa.”

16Yare leqosa leo le sa ntsane le bua, le leng la fihla, la re: “Letolo le ile la theoha lehodimong, la tjhesa dikgutshwane, le bahlanka ba hao, ha re lore! Ke nna feela ya phonyohileng ho tla o tsebisa.”

17Yare le leo le sa ntsane le bua, le leng la fihla, la re: “Bakalatiya ba ile ba fihla ka mabothwana a bona a mararo, a hlaselang, ba futuhela dikamele, ba di hapa; ba bolaya le bahlanka ba hao ka sabole. Ke nna feela ya phonyohileng ho tla o tsebisa.”

18Yare le leo le sa ntsane le bua, le leng la fihla hape, la re: “Bara ba hao le baradi ba hao ba ne ba le ka tlung ya moholwane wa bona, ba ntse ba eja, ba enwa. 19Hanghang ha fihla sefefo se matla, se etswa lehwatateng. Sa diha dihuku tse nne tsa ntlo, ya buramela hodima bona, mme ba eshwa. Ke nna feela ya phonyohileng ho tla o tsebisa.”

20Yaba Jobo o a ema, o hahola seaparo sa hae, o beola hlooho ya hae, o itahlela fatshe ho rapela, 21o re:

“Ke tswetswe ke mme ke le feela,

ke tla ya lebitleng

ke ntse ke le feela.

Morena o na fane,

Morena o amohile,

ho ke ho roriswe lebitso la hae.”

22Ho tsena tsohle tse etsahetseng, Jobo ha a a ka a etsa sebe, kapa a re Modimo o sebeditse ka mokgwa o sa mo tshwaneleng.
