"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;"
Doctrine and Covenants 18:10
I really liked the mention of this scripture in the recent women's conference, talking about how worth and worthiness are different. When we sin, we lose our worthiness (and have to repent to get it back), but we never lose our worth.
Let's remember this today... that our souls, and everyone's souls are of great worth to God. We matter, and we are children of God--inherently worthwhile. :) Overcoming our tendency to sin, and improving our lives and our capacities as we learn to be more like God is also important... but let's never think that because we do a bad thing that we have somehow lost worth. God still loves us, and if we ask, he will help us to repent and change, and move closer to eternal joy. :)
