Ka waiwai hiki ole ke ana

He aha nā waiwai a waiwai paha āu e pono ai ke mālama pono? Na mea nani a kona mau kupuna? A i ʻole ke kelepona hou loa me nā ʻoki āpau? ʻO kēlā me kēia mea, hiki i kēia mau mea ke lilo i mau kiʻi no mākou a hoʻohuli iā mākou mai ka mea nui. Ke aʻo mai nei ka Baibala iā mākou ʻaʻole pono mākou e makaʻu i ka lilo ʻana o ka waiwai maoli, ʻo Iesū Kristo. ʻO ka pilina pili me Iesū ma mua o nā waiwai o ke ao nei: "Mai hoahu oe i ka waiwai ma ka honua kahi e ai ai ka mu a me ka popo, kahi e wawahi mai ai ka poe aihue a aihue. Aka, e hoahu oukou i waiwai no oukou ma ka lani, kahi e ai ole ai i ka mu a me ka popo, kahi e wawahi ole mai ai na aihue e aihue. No ka mea, ma kahi e waiho ai ko oukou waiwai, malaila pu no hoi ko oukou naau." (Mat 6,19-21th).

Makemake au e kaʻana aku iā ʻoe i kēia moʻolelo ʻakaʻaka o kahi kāne i hiki ʻole ke hoʻokaʻawale i kāna kālā: Aia kekahi ʻelemakule kuko i makemake nui i kāna kālā no laila ua hoʻohiki kāna wahine iā ia ma hope o kona make ʻana e hāʻawi ʻo ia iā ia. ʻo kēlā me kēia peni e hoʻokomo i loko o ka pahu. Ma muli o ka laki, ua make maoli ʻo ia a ma mua o kona kanu ʻia ʻana, waiho kāna wahine i ka pahu i loko o ka pahu. Nīnau maila kona hoaaloha iā ia inā mālama ʻo ia i kāna ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e kanu iā ia me nā kālā āpau. Pane maila ʻo ia: ʻOiaʻiʻo! He Karistiano maikaʻi wau a ua mālama wau i kaʻu ʻōlelo. Hoʻokomo wau i kēlā me kēia peni i loaʻa iā ia i loko o kaʻu waihona kālā a kākau iā ia i kahi leka a waiho i loko o ka pahu kālā!

Mahalo mākou i ka wahine no kona akamai a me kona akamai i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia. I ka manawa like, ʻike mākou i ka lapuwale o ke kanaka i manaʻoʻiʻo e hiki i ka waiwai ke hoʻopaʻa i kona ola. No kou hilinaʻi ʻana i ke Akua, ʻike ʻoe he ola nui kou i hōʻoia ʻia iā Iesū, he ola waiwai ʻole. I mai la o Iesu: Aka, ua hele mai au e haawi ia lakou i ke ola ma kona piha ana (Ioane 10,10 Baibala Ola Hou).

He mea kaumaha ke nalowale mākou i kēia ʻike maoli a hoʻoholo i ka hoʻololi ʻokoʻa honua. Akā, e nānā kākou, i loko o ko kākou ao waiwai, aia kekahi mea nani e hoʻohuli iā mākou: "I kēia manawa i hoʻāla ʻia ʻoe me Kristo, e ʻimi ʻoe i ka luna, kahi e noho ai ʻo Kristo, e noho ana ma ka lima ʻākau o ke Akua. E ʻimi i ka mea ma luna, ʻaʻole i ka mea ma ka honua. No ka mea, ua make ʻoukou, a ua hūnā ʻia ko ʻoukou ola me Kristo i ke Akua." (Kolosa 3,1-3th).

Eia kahi hoʻomanaʻo liʻiliʻi pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomau i ko mākou mau maka i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i loaʻa iā mākou i loko o Kristo i ʻole mākou e hana naʻaupō iā mākou iho ma kēia ʻaoʻao o ka lua. Manaʻo wau e lilo kēia i mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi i ka wā e hoʻowalewale ʻia ai ʻoe e ka waiwai honua. ʻO ka waiwai i loaʻa iā ʻoe he momi waiwai nui, he waiwai hiki ʻole ke ana.
