# GNsP (November 19, 2018) The man of God is engaged to a woman with an incurable skin disease that moves millions
This couple shows us the true meaning of true love and beauty!
Nowadays, we have to admit that looks are a big deal for everyone. Perhaps it is human instinct to judge a person's worth by what they see with the naked eye. Even in the Old Testament, King David was not considered a king by his father because of his small stature.
"But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not judge him by his shape and his great stature, for I have rejected him. God does not look like men: man sees only what he sees with his eyes, but the Lord sees from the bottom of the heart.” (1 Sam 16:7).
The Word of God leads us to the truth that although the world looks at a person's appearance, we should learn to see a person's worth by looking deep into their heart. And surely, the boy of God, Edmilson Alcântara, from Ceará in Brazil understood the Word of God very well.
Recently, 23-year-old Edmilson became engaged to his girlfriend Karine de Souza 28 years old. What is more surprising, despite knowing Karine's illness, he did not hesitate to betrothed to her.
Karine has a rare skin disease called "Xeroderma Pigmentosum". Due to her extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays, when sunlight hits her skin, it causes skin damage. According to research, this disease has no cure. Because of Karine's illness, it has caused wounds all over her body, which makes her self-conscious and avoids contact with others.
However, that didn't stop her from living a normal life like everyone else because of her belief in God. She is well aware that people are afraid of her appearance, but she has always put her trust in her God. This is what made Edmilson love her, beyond what the human eye can see.
Comment of the writer Father Daniel Panisson Fotografias on his personal page: “Have you ever felt love? Have you ever thought about giving up a great love? Have you ever cared about your appearance and forgot to worry about how you feel? Here, I invite you to feel and live the story of Karine and Edmilson. A very beautiful and inspirational story that will awaken in you the feeling of the most beautiful life in you.
In a world where appearance is more important than soul, they meet love not by accident, but by a meeting of souls, an encounter that enables love to arise when the soul they met and today they are an inspiration to so many people who are not confident in themselves, not confident in their life and especially in love.
Karine De Souza, 28, from Fortaleza, was diagnosed with 'xeroderma pigmentosum', a rare, genetic, non-contagious disease with no cure. This disease causes wounds on the skin when exposed to sunlight. But for Edmilson, 23, from Ceará the illness didn't stop his love for her.
And I can say this couple's love has brought me peace and a lot of inspiration for my soul. The acceptance, the protection, and all the affection between the two of them, made me see that love still exists.
The acceptance of Karine's disease makes me feel like it's useless to complain about our lives. I just want to say one thing, thank God every day that you exist. Don't complain about your weaknesses because you are you. Love life, and accept it. I thank you for teaching me so much. You are so great. You are the hope that is missing in so many people. Thank you for the strong hug you give each other, and for a wonderful day you two live together. I will forever remember your smile. "
