Nui Meaning

Nui. Significativo. Insignis. Semnificativ. signifikant. Significant. In the same way, important, noteworthy, meaningful, substantial. These different languages may have a slight difference in meaning, but they all go back to one concrete word. For example, the word mentioned previously,” Nui” is a Hawaiian word and its meaning is “big great, grand, important.” According to, the Webster Dictionary significant means, “Large enough to be noticed or have an effect.” In my own definition, I consider it to be “of worth and have great impact.” There holds much power to this simple word; it can change something or someone with its use.

Whether they have done good or bad; physically impaired or mental, they all have great value. My little brother Roman is 8 years old now and I truly worry for him. He has down syndrome, so he is already far behind from where he should be. I hope that as he grows up that he sees value in himself, that he has a great amount of significance to our family. Most people would define him by his disability, but if people could see what my family got to see, they wouldn’t dare put a label on him. Despite his extra chromosome, he is normal, but most importantly, he is special. With today’s culture, we see less significance in ourselves and more in the people who “matter the most.” Our youth is idolizing others when in reality, they need to take a step back and evaluate themselves. Every single person on this earth will forever have significance tied to their name. No one is made the same, therefore they are all special.

I truly believe that this is the most important way of depicting what significance is, which is through Christ himself. Since we are His creation, he sees ultimate worth and significance in us because he made us entirely different. Though we are not worthy compared to God, there is grace for us which exemplifies our significance because of Him. God does not need us, he has a great amount of power and authority, yet he still desires for us to be a part of his family. The significance our Father sees in us is an incredible amount of worth that no one could ever measure up to. There is no greater love than the love of Christ, therefore he sees us as worthy.
