Study the Principle of Learning: Press Forward

Songa Mbele

With God’s help, I can press forward even when I face obstacles.

Kwa msaada wa Mungu, ninaweza kusonga mbele hata wakati ninapokabiliana na vikwazo.

Sisi sote tunakabiliana na changamoto katika maisha. Wakati mwingine changamoto zetu hufanya iwe vigumu kutimiza malengo yetu. Nefi, nabii na kiongozi katika Kitabu cha Mormoni, alipitia changamoto nyingi. Alitumia maisha yake yote kuwafundisha na kuwatumikia watu wake. Alijua wangekabiliana na changamoto ngumu, na alitaka kuwasaidia wao kujua jinsi ya kuwa thabiti. Nefi alifundisha:

“Usonge mbele ukiwa na imani imara katika Kristo, ukiwa na mg’aro mkamilifu wa tumaini, na upendo kwa Mungu na wanadamu wote” (2 Nefi 31:20).

Wewe pia unaweza kusonga mbele. Ili “Kusonga mbele ukiwa imara katika Kristo” humaanisha unaweza kuendelea kujaribu, ukimwamini Yesu Kristo, hata wakati mambo yawapo magumu. Ukimwamini kwamba Yeye atabariki juhudi zako hata wakati mambo ni magumu au wakati unapofanya makosa. Kwa mfano, labda umetambua kwamba wewe unafanya makosa wakati wewe unajaribu kuzungumza Kiingereza. Labda umekuwa na wakati mgumu kukumbuka maneno mapya. Wakati wewe unasonga mbele na kufanya mazoezi kila siku, ukimwamini Yeye kuwa atakusaidia kujifunza. Bila kujali changamoto unazokabiliana nazo, unaweza kusonga mbele kwa imani.

Ponder

• Ni njia gani ambazo unaweza “kusonga mbele” katika kujifunza Kiingereza?

• Nini hukusaidia kuendelea kujaribu wakati mambo ni magumu?
