At times, we may find ourselves questioning the things we cannot change—like the color of our skin. For many, the question, “Why was I born Black?” may arise, often influenced by societal challenges and misconceptions about race. But the truth is, your skin is not a curse; it is a canvas of divine creativity. God, in His infinite wisdom, painted humanity in many shades to reflect the richness of His image.
The world may see color as difference, but heaven sees it as design. God designed every race with beauty, purpose, and brilliance. Christ did not come for one race—He came for all, and His blood redeems every shade of humanity, bringing us into one purpose. Your skin is a reflection of God’s creativity and brilliance, revealing a portion of His glory that only you can reflect.
The Beauty of Divine Design
Each of us, regardless of race or ethnicity, is a masterpiece of God’s design. The diversity in human skin tones is not a result of chance but a testament to God’s creativity. He painted the world with every shade to display His glory in a way that is both unique and beautiful. The richness of humanity is seen in our differences, and yet, we are united in one Creator who loves us all equally.
Your skin is not a limitation—it is a declaration of your identity in Christ. You were born to reflect the brilliance of God’s image, and there is purpose in who you are. The beauty of diversity is that it showcases God’s infinite creativity and love for all His children, regardless of skin tone.
