I chose to do a an option of finding 10 insights on the worth of souls, and share five of the scriptures that increase my understanding of the worth of a soul.
Scripture one: "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." Doctrine and Covenants 18:10
Scripture two: "...the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7
Scripture three: "...The one being is as precious in his sight as the other." Jacob 2:21
I chose to do this assignment because it was about the worth of souls. This is a very important topic to me because growing up, I never had a good grasp on my self worth. I compared myself to others all too often. When I started dating, I got into an abusive relationship which did nothing to help with my image of myself. He abused me verbally, emotionally, and mentally. By the time I got out of that relationship, my individual worth was nothing. Unfortunately, he continued to harass me until I took more extreme precautions. I had no faith in myself and was reserved, quiet, and in pain emotionally.
During a semester at school, I met a boy who I slowly got to know. He started to show me how important I was and the things that I am capable of. Through my relationship with him, I strengthened my relationship with Jesus Christ. Since then, I have seen, through the Lord, just how important I am. I know that He has wonderful things in store for me. I know that He will show me these things, and He will help me bless the lives of others if I hold fast to Him. I am so thankful that I know the worth of my soul now, and I want everyone to know how much they are worth.
