The Proverbial Colors of Love - Ever Wonder Why

Red, green, purple, orange, navy blue, all such beautiful colors. How about burgundy, and pink 
with yellow dots…wow! Dear God I asked, there are so many beautiful colors in the world, why 
did you choose to create people the colors we are? Why is her skin lighter than my skin? Why is
 his skin darker than her skin? Why brown, why tan…why white?


The birds in the sky fly with such splendor, and bright hues. “A Canary, a Blue Jay, a Cardinal; so
 eye catching! You’ve covered the trees with a green so rich. A Pine tree, an Oak, a Maple…oh, 
so brilliant! Flowers bloom with colors so magnificent, they can’t be ignored. I look out to the  ocean 
and the shades of blue, yellow, and green are captivating. I look at the sunset with its fiery 
yellow, red and orange. Colors so beautiful only God could have created. 


The world surrounds me with such magic, beauty, and color! So why dear God; with so many 
colors to choose from, were we born simply brown, or tan, or white? There was silence for a
 moment…then the Lord did answer and say; “my child, I have made people in the colors of
 Heaven and Earth. Think of the soil of the Earth, the richness of each color. All shades of
 brown, some so deep it’s almost Black. The shades of the white sand, from light to tan. 
Consider the Heaven, and its shades of blue and white. The sunset and the sunrise…look at your
 hair; now look at your eyes. These are my FAVORITE COLORS, you see. The rest is for you to 
ENJOY!”
