"Remember the worth of souls is great in the eyes of God."
Today's young women lesson was on Individual Worth. I LOVED this lesson, the girls loved it as well, and they had some amazing insight. It is such an important thing for each of us to really know who we are and to understand how each one of us is so important in the eyes of our Heavenly Father.
These were my favorite quotes from the lesson.
Many people feel they are so ordinary that they cannot make a significant contribution in this life. But the Lord has sent each person to earth with an important mission to perform. Bishop H. Burke Peterson said:
“One of the greatest challenges is to overcome the feeling that we are unimportant, that we are not special and unique. Do you think for a moment that Heavenly Father would have sent one of His children to this earth by accident, without the possibility of a significant work to perform? …
“My dear friends, you are a royal generation. You were preserved to come to the earth in this time for a special purpose. Not just a few of you, but all of you. There are things for each of you to do that no one else can do as well as you. If you do not prepare to do them, they will not be done. Your mission is unique and distinctive for you. Please don’t make another have to take your place. He or she can’t do it as well as you can. If you will let Him, I testify that our Father in Heaven will walk with you through the journey of life and inspire you to know your special purpose here” (“Your Life Has a Purpose,” New Era, May 1979, pp. 4–5).
If you ever feel like you are not worth much, just pray to Heavenly Father and ask him if he loves you. He will tell you. I know this to be true, from personal experience:)
