In conference this year Elder Uchdorf said, "One woman who had been through years of trial and sorrow said through her tears, 'I have come to realize that I am like an old 20-dollar bill—crumpled, torn, dirty, abused, and scarred. But I am still a 20-dollar bill. I am worth something. Even though I may not look like much and even though I have been battered and used, I am still worth the full 20 dollars.' "

the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.”⁴ We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe. Every person we meet is a VIP to our Heavenly Father. Once we understand that, we can begin to understand how we should treat our fellowmen.

I love this talk and I have thought about it often. Sometimes at work I will meet somebody who has a big personality conflict with me. I tend to get frustrated and judgmental, but it is interesting how much my perspective changes when I try to remind myself how much Heavenly Father loves each of his children. Even if this person is making poor life decisions or is hurtful to others our Heavenly Father still see their worth and only feels sadness about the choices they make. He loves them and truly understands their value. I want to see others in the world in the same way Heavenly Father does.
