Wanatufundisha kusali, kuimba, na kuwasha mishumaa ya Majilio. Kisha, tukiwa watu wazima, tunajifunza kutoka kwao kuhusu matatizo ya imani: wanatufundisha kile kinachotokea wakati sala zetu hazijibiwi, wakati nyimbo zinapolia, na wakati mishumaa inapozimwa. Tunatambua kwamba walezi wetu ni binadamu tu. Tunatoa ushuhuda wa udhaifu wao, udhaifu wao, na mashaka yao\u2014kisha tunatazama wanapojaribu kuelewa mambo haya. Sisi si watoto tena, lakini bado ni walimu wetu.     <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>Kwa miaka kadhaa, nimekuwa nikipitia mgogoro wangu binafsi wa imani, na wazazi wangu\u2014walimu <em>wangu<\/em> wa kiroho\u2014ni sehemu ya sababu kwa nini. Ninatatizika kupatanisha imani yao isiyoyumba-yumba kwa Mungu na hali halisi ya kazi yangu katika huduma zisizo na makao. Ninafanya kazi haswa na wanaume wasio na makazi sugu, idadi ambayo watu wengi hawana mawasiliano nayo kidogo. Hata hivyo, nimegundua kwamba ninapotaja kazi yangu kwa Wakristo, mara nyingi huwa na taswira fulani akilini: moja ambayo huelekea kutoka kwa programu za redio za Kikristo karibu na likizo. Kawaida inahusisha wanaume wasio na meno wanaomsifu Mungu kwa sababu walipokea dola tano mitaani, au kukariri Zaburi kwa watu wanaojitolea jikoni, au kuimba nyimbo za shukrani kwa jozi ya soksi. Katika hadithi hizi, wao ni wapokeaji kwa furaha wa upendo wa Kikristo ambao maisha yao yanatumika kama ukumbusho kwamba Mungu ni rafiki wa daima wa maskini.       <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>Ngoja nikupe mtazamo mwingine.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>\u201cKukosa makao kwa muda mrefu\u201d humaanisha kutokuwa na makao kwa kudumu. Inamaanisha kuwa mtu amekuwa bila makazi kwa miongo kadhaa, sio tu kwa wiki chache kwenye kitanda cha rafiki. Inamaanisha kuwa mtu ana ugonjwa mbaya wa akili, shida ya matumizi ya dawa, hali ya kiafya sugu, shida ya utambuzi, au zote nne kwa wakati mmoja. Inamaanisha kuwa usaidizi wa familia ya mtu haupo au hauwezekani tena, kwa sababu wanafamilia wenyewe ni walemavu sana, wamelewa sana, au wanaishi katika umaskini. Inamaanisha ufaulu mdogo wa elimu, viwango vya chini vya kusoma na kuandika, au historia ya kufungwa, ingawa mara nyingi zote tatu. Inamaanisha mapato sifuri, akiba sifuri, uwekezaji sifuri, utajiri sufuri, na mali sifuri. Inamaanisha kwamba hata mtu <em>anapofanikiwa<\/em> kutoka kwa ukosefu wa makazi, sio kawaida kwake kurudi mitaani ndani ya mwaka mmoja.        <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>Huu ndio ulimwengu ninaofanya kazi; pia ni ulimwengu tunaoishi.

Hii ndiyo kauli mbiu yao, na wana stakabadhi za kuthibitisha hilo. Katika kipindi cha maisha na mahusiano yao, wamejionea wenyewe kupitia ugonjwa wa akili, matumizi mabaya ya dawa za kulevya, kujiua, kupoteza kazi, kuharibika kwa mimba, na talaka; chukua chaguo lako. Ninapowasikiliza wakieleza maana ya kuwa na imani, siwezi kujizuia kujisikia faraja sana, kwa sababu ni nini ustawi wao leo ikiwa si uthibitisho kwamba imani yao iliwekwa vizuri na kutuzwa? Ni ngumu kubishana nao wakati, kwa kweli, wamesimama kwa miguu yao kila wakati. Inafariji. Inatia nguvu.

Richard alikufa kwa kutumia dawa kupita kiasi kwenye njia iliyojaa kinyesi, panya na takataka. Connor alikufa kwa kushindwa kwa moyo mlangoni, na ilichukua siku kadhaa kwa mtu yeyote hata kuuona mwili wake. Eugene aliuawa kwa kuchomwa kisu katika bustani hiyo. Theo alipigwa na kuchomwa moto akiwa amelala kwenye benchi. Evan alijinyonga. Ningeweza kuendelea. Hawa ni watu ambao hawakutua kwa miguu yao. Walikufa, kwa huzuni.

Katika kila wakati wa shida, haikuwa Mungu sana kama ufikiaji wa rasilimali ambao ulifanya tofauti. Sikatai uwepo wa Mungu au Roho katika maisha yao, na sikatai mabadiliko ambayo yametokea ndani yao. Lakini ikiwa Mungu alifanya miujiza, ilitokea tu kuifanya kupitia hisa, bondi, umiliki wa nyumba, ushauri bora wa afya ya akili, na ufikiaji thabiti wa dawa zinazofaa.      <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":3059708,\"width\":800,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Huff_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3059708\" width=\"800\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"dropCap\":true,\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Imani ya wazazi wangu katika Mungu kwa hakika ilitoa hali ya faraja, uthabiti, na mwelekeo wakati wa matatizo halisi na makubwa. Mungu pia alitumika kama lugha, taswira, na historia iliyoshirikiwa ya mitandao ya usaidizi wa kijamii waliyoegemea nyakati hizo. Mungu alitoa amani ya ndani na jumuiya, ambayo haipaswi kamwe kupuuzwa au kupuuzwa. Lakini kwa upande wa hali halisi na matokeo, Mungu hakulipa bili, kuandika maagizo, au kushughulikia makaratasi. Ukimpa mfamasia hundi iliyotiwa sahihi na \u201cMungu,\u201d utakuwa ukiondoka kwenye duka hilo bila chochote. \"Amani ya Ndani\" sio kampuni ya bima ya afya inayotozwa. \"Roho\" sio kadi halali ya mkopo. Katika hatua fulani, ukweli wa nyenzo lazima ushughulikiwe kwa masharti yake yenyewe, na masharti hayo yanaweza kuwa ya ukiritimba, ya kibaguzi, yasiyobadilika, na kutosamehe.       <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p>Walimu wangu wa kiroho wanaishi katika ulimwengu ambamo Yeremia 29:11 (ESV) ni kweli: \u201cMaana najua mipango niliyo nayo kwa ajili yenu, asema BWANA, ni mipango ya ustawi wala si ya mabaya, kuwapa ninyi tumaini siku zenu za mwisho.\u201d Wanaishi katika ulimwengu ambamo Mungu hutoa kila wakati, na nimejionea kwa macho yangu mwenyewe.

Tunaona ulimwengu ambapo wale wanaoweza kupata rasilimali hupitia uwezekano wa mapenzi ya Mungu, huku wale ambao hawana uwezo wa kupata rasilimali hupata uzoefu wa kutokuwepo kwa Mungu.        <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Hata hivyo bado nina imani: imani kwamba aina nyingine ya ulimwengu inawezekana, ambapo kuishi maisha yenye heshima hakutegemei bahati nasibu, pesa, rangi, au hali ya bima.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator {\"opacity\":\"css\"} -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"dropCap\":true,\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Kwa hiyo hilo linaacha wapi suala la imani?
