Aloha Kahaluu Ward Ohana,
As a parent, I cannot begin to comprehend the anguish and pain of the trial Abraham and Sarah
faced when commanded to sacrifice their only son, Isaac. But, they prevailed and were
immeasurably blessed. Was their trial really a test of their obedience or did an omnipotent
Lord already know the outcome?
Trials, pain, suffering, heartache, difficulties are a necessary component of our earthly
education. Without experiencing the bitter, we cannot learn to appreciate the sweet. Without
overcoming our trials, we cannot obtain our divine potential. We came to earth not only to
prove ourselves, “to see if we will do all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall command
us”, but to also be molded and shaped by the loving coaching of Heavenly Parents.
Abraham, Sarah and Isaac grew in stature through exercising their agency and having faith in
the plan of a loving God. Would Abraham and his posterity have had the same impact upon
God’s children without having gone through their adversities?
Let us be ever so grateful for opportunities the Lord puts in our path where we can be polished
by His hands. Let us petition for strength in our infirmities. Let us pray to become, “More,
Savior, like Thee.”
With Love and Aloha,
Shelley Ah Nee
Young Woman’s President
