Uaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nāʻalo
Ua komo paha ʻoe i loko o kahi lehulehu nui āu i manaʻo ai i ka mea ʻuʻuku a me ka mea ʻole? A i ʻole kau e noho ma luna o kahi mokulele a ʻike i nā kānaka ma luna o ka papahele, ua like me nā pōpoki? ʻO kekahi manawa manaʻo wau ma ke alo o ke Akua he ʻano like mākou me he ʻūhini e kuʻe ana i ka lepo.
Ma ka Isaia 40,22: 24, ʻōlelo ke Akua:
Noho aliʻi ʻo ia ma luna o ka pōʻai o ka honua, a ʻo ka poʻe e noho ma luna ona ua like me nā ʻūhini; hohola ʻo ia i ka lani me he pale lā a hohola aku ia e like me ka hale lole kahi e noho ai kekahi; Hōʻike ʻo ia i nā aliʻi he mea ʻole lākou, a luku aku ʻo ia i nā luna kānāwai ma ka honua: I ke kanu ʻia ʻana, ua kanu liʻiliʻi ʻia lākou, ke aʻa ke kumu o lākou i ka honua, a laila pā ʻo ia iā lākou e mae a puhi iā lākou i ka Cyclone e lawe iā lākou e like me ka ʻōpala. ʻO ia ka manaʻo ʻaʻole mākou he "ʻūhini wale" i ke Akua? Hiki iā mākou ke lilo i mea nui i kahi mea mana?
Hōʻike mai ka mokuna 40 o ʻIsaia iā mākou i ka ʻakaʻaka o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā kānaka me ke Akua nui: "Na wai i hana i kēia mau mea? ʻO ka mea alakaʻi i ko lākou poʻe koa i waho ma ka helu ʻana, ka mea i hea aku iā lākou a pau ma ka inoa. No ka nui o kona waiwai, a no kona ikaika, ʻaʻole hiki ke nele” (Isaia 40,26).
Hoike ʻia kēia mokuna ma ka nīnau a ke Akua no ko mākou pono. ʻIke ʻo ia i ko mākou mau pilikia a hōʻole ʻole ʻo ia e hoʻolohe i kā mākou hihia. ʻO ka hohonu o kona ʻike ka mea iʻoi aku ma mua o mākou. Makemake nui ʻo ia i ka nāwaliwali a luhi a hāʻawi iā lākou i ka ikaika a me ka ikaika.
Inā e noho ai ke Akua ma luna o ka noho aliʻi kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka honua, ʻike paha ʻo ia iā mākou e like me nā pepeke. Eia mau ka manawa maanei, eia me mākou, i loko ona a me aloha nui iā mākou.
Me he mea lā, ua paʻa mau kākou nā kānaka i ka nīnau nui o ke ʻano. Ua alakaʻi kēia i kekahi e manaʻoʻiʻo ua hiki ʻole mākou ma ʻaneʻi a he mea ʻole ko mākou ola. "A laila e hauʻoli kākou!" Akā he waiwai maoli mākou no ka mea ua hana ʻia mākou ma ke ʻano o ke Akua. ʻIke ʻo ia iā mākou he mau kānaka, he mea nui kēlā me kēia; Hoʻohanohano kēlā kanaka kēia kanaka iā ia ma kona ʻano iho. I loko o ka lehulehu o ka miliona, ʻo kēlā me kēia mea koʻikoʻi e like me ka mea aʻe - he waiwai kēlā me kēia i ka Mea nāna i hana i ko mākou ʻuhane.
No laila he aha lā mākou e pīhoihoi nui e hoʻāʻo nei e hōʻole i ke ʻano o kekahi i kekahi? ʻO kekahi manawa hōʻino mākou, hoʻowahāwahā a hōʻino aku i ka poʻe nāna e kiʻi nei i ke kiʻi o ka mea nāna i hana. Ua poina iā mākou a nānā ʻole paha i ke aloha ʻana i ke Akua i nā poʻe a pau. A i ʻole haʻaheo paha ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo ua waiho ʻia kekahi i kēia honua e waiho wale i kekahi "mau mea kiʻekiʻe"? Kaulana ke ʻano o ka ʻike kanaka i ka naʻaupō a me ka haʻaheo, ʻo ka hōʻino wale ʻia. ʻO ke ala wale nō i kēia pilikia kumu ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻike a me ka hilinaʻi i ka mea nāna i hāʻawi iā mākou i ola a no laila ke kumu. I kēia manawa mākou e ʻike pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana maikaʻi i kēia mau mea.
ʻO kā mākou hiʻohiʻona o ka mālama ʻana i nā mea like i kekahi mau mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Iesu, ka mea nāna i ʻoka ʻole i kekahi kanaka he ʻōpala. ʻO kā mākou kuleana iā Iesū a me kēlā me kēia kanaka, ʻo ia ka hahai ʻana i kāna kumu hoʻohālike - e ʻike i ke ʻano o ke Akua i kēlā me kēia kanaka a mākou e hālāwai ai a mālama iā lākou. Penting anei kakou i ke Akua? Ma muli o ka mea nāna i lawe i kona ʻano, he mea nui loa mākou iā ia nāna i hoʻouna mai kāna keiki hoʻokahi e make no mākou. A na olelo nō a pau.
