ʻO ka mele o Solomona i kēia manawa o ka weheweheʻana o ke aloha:

"Ua ikaika ke aloha e like me ka make: makemakeʻia e like me ka ukiuki e like me ka sheol; ʻO ke ahi e like me ke ahi ahi, ka lapala o Iehova! ʻAʻole hiki i nā wai he nui ke aloha; ʻAʻole hiki i nā muliwai ke holoi. (Oia aku) Inā hāʻawi ke kāne i nā waiwai a pau o kona hale no ke aloha, he (mau) e hoʻohewaʻia ma lalo o lalo!" (Song 8:6-7)

A pau ka Api Apot, I kāna mokuna kaulana ma ke aloha, wahi a…

"E mālama i nā mea āpau, manaʻoʻiʻo i nā mea āpau, lana nā mea āpau, Hoʻopau i nā mea āpau. ʻAʻole loa e pau ke aloha. " (1Cor 13:7-8)

Akā naʻe, No ka ikaika a pau a me nā mana o ka hoʻomanawanui, ʻO ke aloha he nāwaliwali intrinsic: ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke koi; no ke aloha, E aloha i ke aloha, pono e koho i kahi koho.

He pōʻino nui

ʻO kēia mau wahi e koho ai i ke ala o ke aloha ma kahi pōʻino nui.

Hoʻomanaʻoʻia wau i ka moʻolelo o kahi papa inoa o kahi papa inoa e hoʻolaha ana i ka kikokikona, "E lilo ka makuahine i ka honua. Ma lalo o kahi i kākauʻia kekahi wag, "Er ... Inā maikaʻi kēlā meʻoe meʻoe."

ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo ka mea i loaʻa i ka makemake o ka makemake e hoʻohana i nā mea e hiki ai iā lākou ke hiki ke loaʻa i ko lākou ala - aʻo ka mana hou aʻe hiki iā lākou ke lele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o lākou e kūleʻa.

I ka holo lōʻihi, paha - akā ua lawa ia?

Hiki i ka hapa nui o mākou eʻike i ke alohaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. A me ka hapa nui o ka'āina o kā mākou e lana nei e aloha nui e aloha. ʻO nā mea maikaʻi loaʻo Tyrannies: Akā he ala lōʻihi; Nui nāʻeha a make ma ke ala. A ma ka papa o ka hakakā, Ehia mau mea e hana ai i nā mea ola e lilo i ka hanauna hou o nā mea hoʻoweliweli?

To fight for love, without destroying it, is the hardest thing in the world. ʻOiaʻiʻo nō, to fight to defend one’s own right to receive love would seem like a contradiction in terms. Yet most of us would consider that one who fights, at risk of their own safety and comfort, to protect the right of others is displaying love in its highest form.

Step up, the Champion

That is why love needs a champion – one who is prepared to love and defend others at no matter what cost to himself. But that champion, to defend the weak, must be prepared to overpower the strong that insist on using their freedoms to exploit others. So how does he avoid the charge that he has become the new oppressor by denying the exploiters their freedom to choose?

E huli pū me aʻu no kahi manawa i ka puke o ka hōʻike, mokuna 5:

A lailaʻike wau ma ka lima'ākau o ka mea e noho ana ma luna o ka noho aliʻi e kākau ana me nāʻaoʻaoʻelua a hoʻopaʻaʻia meʻehiku. Aʻike wau i kahi'ānela ikaika e hoʻolaha ana i ka leo nui, “ʻO wai ka mea kūpono e wāwahi i nā hōʻailona a wehe i ka'ōwili?”

… Ua uē wau a me ka weheʻana no ka meaʻaʻohe mea i loaʻa i ka mea kūpono e wehe i ka'ōwili a nānā i loko. A laila'ōlelo kekahi o nā luna o nā luna, “Mai uwē! E nana, ka liona o kaʻohana a Iuda, ke kumu o Davida, ua hemo. Hiki iā ia ke wehe i ka'ōwili a me kāna mau lāʻehiku.” A laila uaʻike au i kahi hipa kāne, ke nānā nei inā ua pepehiʻia…

Ua hele maiʻo ia a lawe i ka'ōwili … A i lawe ia, nā mea olaʻehā a me nā poʻe he iwakāluakūmākolu i hāʻule ma mua o ke keiki hipa. … Aʻo lākou ke mele hou: “Ponoʻoe e lawe i ke kāʻei a wehe i kona mau sila, no ka mea, ua pepehiʻiaʻoe, a me kou koko e kūʻai aku ai i kānaka no ke Akua mai kēlā me kēiaʻohana a me nā lāhui kanaka a me kānaka.” (Rev. 5:1-9, NIV, fubbviated)

ʻO ka'ōkuhi i kēiaʻano hōʻike i ka hoʻoponoponoʻana i ke Akua kū'ē i ka hewa a me ka liona e like me ke keiki hipa e like me Iesū. Akā ke kumuʻo ia wale nō ka mea e pono ai e hoʻokō i kēia hoʻoholo?

Maikaʻi mua, a maopopo loa, no ka mea, ua hāʻawiʻo ia i kona ola pono'ī no laila e hiki ke kalaʻia mākou a hoʻihoʻi hou i kahi pilina me ke Akua – he hana aloha aloha. A me ka lua no ka, ua nohoʻo ia a ua loaʻa iā ia ke kanaka, ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke haʻi iā ia, "ʻAʻoleʻoe e hoʻomaopopo i ka mea e like me aʻu e like ai."

Akā aia kekahi kumu'ē aʻe.

ʻO ka luna kānāwai i kouʻaoʻao

E noʻonoʻo no kahi manawa. Inā kokokeʻoe e huhū ma mua o ka hoʻoponoponoʻana o ka luna kānāwai e pane i kāu mau hewa, ʻAʻole makemakeʻoe e manaʻolanaʻo ia e lawe i kekahi mea e lawe ai iāʻoe a eʻimi no ke ala e loaʻa ai iāʻoe? ʻO Iesū ka mea hoʻoponopono maikaʻi loa a hiki i ko mākou hoʻokūkū maikaʻi loa no ka meaʻaʻole hiki i kekahi mea'ē aʻe ke makemake e loaʻa iāʻoe e like me ia.

Lōʻihi ma mua o kou mālamaʻana iā ia (a iʻole kekahi), Ua alohaʻo ia iāʻoe i ka hult, e eha ana i kou wahi. Hana i kēlā me kēia, Ke kuhi neiʻoe i kēia manawa i kēia manawa i kēia manawa? ʻAʻole! Keʻimi neiʻo ia i hoʻokahi mea, A hoʻokahi mea wale nō: ʻO nā hōʻike e huli aiʻoe mai kou olaʻana i keʻano o ke aloha i kahi ola e kahe ana mai ke aloha iāʻoe.
