Nowadays, many people, both men and women, voluntarily indulge in skin bleaching to lighten the natural color of their skin. This practice has become almost a fad in all African societies.
Becoming light-skinned is done by those who do not love themselves as God created them. To achieve this, followers of this trend use several products, namely: ointments, injections and sometimes products that are not recommended, diverted from their normal medical use, which surely have harmful effects on their bodily health.
Although they are not proud of their original skin, God Himself loves us as we are because He is the main author of the skin color of every human being.
« God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. »(Genesis 1:27)
It is therefore expedient to know that whatever the appearance of an individual’s skin, God the creator gives his perfect approval for his creation as it is written that * »God saw that it was good. »(Genesis 1:10)
So, skin bleaching is therefore not only to openly question the physical architecture of our beauty created by God in his likeness, but it is also to contradict the creator, who gives skin differences to his children according to his will.
So, let’s love ourselves as we are, in the same way that God loves us.
« I am black, but I am beautiful, daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. »(Song 1:5)
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to never question or contradict your act of creation.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
