My Daily Musings-September 11th, 2026

“Your value does not decrease because someone else cannot see your worth. God’s vision of you has not changed.”

The last few years, I have tried to not let other people’s opinions of me matter to my self-worth. But it’s hard sometimes. My family was discussing this topic Sunday on our weekly virtual call. Some of the women in my family concluded that it’s harder for women to not compare themselves to other women, and to not let other women’s opinions of them matter. My husband and my dad don’t worry about it.

But this quote is true. It really doesn’t matter what other people think of you. No matter what they think of you, it doesn’t decrease your worth. In our Heavenly Father’s eyes, we are all loved and valued deeply. He sees the best in each one of us. That’s amazing to me because He knows me the best. He knows my shortcomings, weaknesses, and sins. Yet He sees the best qualities in me. We should see each other through His heavenly eyes. We should look for the best qualities in others.

When I first started doing YouTube videos of myself singing and reading my poetry, I was worried about what other people would think of me when my hair was messy and I wasn’t at my best. But I felt a nudge from the Spirit to branch out and to get out of my comfort zone. I don’t think about my appearance now because I know I am supposed to share those videos. No matter what people think of me, hopefully they will be touched by my message.

How can we become better at seeing ourselves and others through Heavenly Father’s eyes? Have you ever had to remind yourself that someone else’s opinion doesn’t determine your worth?
