The Worth of a Soul

"We cannot gauge the worth of another soul anymore than we can measure the span of the universe."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

In my family history class we have been reading some great things from great men in the church. This particular quote has been floating in my mind. Do I really understand the worth of a soul? When I see that dirty old man scuffing his way down the alley, do I see his souls worth? And what about that one person who I really don't get along with, do I realize their soul has the same worth as mine? As I have been thinking about this I thought of my own children. Do I value one of them over another? NO! All three are worth more then I can say, more than I could ever put into words. They are everything to me. So why wouldn't it be the same for our Heavenly Father? Would He not value all his children's souls the same?   Would He not feel the same for each soul, each child? If so, which I believe it is so, then I need to do some rearranging in my attitude. I have some work to do. I need to treat all as if their soul is of great worth, because it is. We all have differences, but our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. We are of great worth to Him. His plan is centered around bringing us home, because we are of great worth to Him.
