'...the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.'

why isn't that good enough for me? why do i still base my self-worth off of what other people say about me?

when i got home from my mission, we'll just say a 'while' ago, i had an interesting experience. i had been home for a month-ish and was dealing with that post-mission depression or whatever you want to call it. and i remember thinking, where is my life going? and then all of the sudden all of the answers to all of my life's questions were answered and i knew exactly what to do with my life. false, wouldn't that be nice? that has never happened to me, nor will it ever. but i was overcome with this feeling of love. just plain love. i can't describe it, but it was Heavenly Father conveying to me a message that i know he would want everyone to hear. the thoughts came into my head: 'I will always love you, even if nobody else does, but it's doesn't matter, because I am here.' i don't think he was trying to tell me that nobody else loves me. at least i hope not. haha. :) what i think he was trying to say is that whatever happens in my life, he'll be there because my worth to Him is great. just like your worth to Him is great.

i think i'll better understand this principle when i have my own kids, but for now i just have to practice of my fellow men. the worth of souls is great in the sight of ... keri. :)

  1. a kid in my ward (AJ actually) spoke today in church about worth and worthiness. he said that while our personal worthiness may change, our worth never changes. because just like that scripture says: the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. our worth has been set. just because we may not feel worthy, doesn't mean we aren't worth something. our worth is GREAT :D ps...i love you!
