Individual Worth

I have always loved Doctrine and Covenants 18:10. Remember the aworth of bsouls is great in the sight of God. I find it very comforting that Heavenly Father cares about us as individuals. Then if that wasn't enough it goes on to say:

15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one asoul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the akingdom of my Father, how great will be your bjoy if you should bring many csoulsunto me!

I can picture a loving father who is so excited when his child does something good and I know that is how He feels about us. He will always be excited and feel joy when somebody (whether it be us or another person) makes a change for the best. It makes me want to add to the joy and share the gospel with others and do my best to make good choices everyday.
