“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?

Proverbs 16:2 says, “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.”

We are so familiar with scales. We step on them and instantly measure ourselves. Sometimes we feel discouraged. Sometimes relieved. Sometimes defined by a number.

But what if the truest weighing isn’t about numbers at all?

The Lord weighs our spirits.

He sees the thoughts we wrestle with, the quiet prayers we whisper, the intentions behind our imperfect efforts. He knows what we think about ourselves. He knows how we feel inside.

When He weighs us, does He measure us by comparison? By performance? By our worst day?

No. He weighs with compassion.

He sees the trying. The repenting. The desire to do good. And His mercy is always greater than our shortcomings.

While we may measure ourselves by what we lack, the Lord measures us by our hearts — and He always does so in love.
