"You Are Precious to Me "!- HOW TO SEE OURSELVES AS JEHOVAH SEES US

 Remember that Jehovah does not see you the way the world does. (Read 1 Samuel 16:7.) He does not assess your worth based on your personal appearance, social statues, or secular education. (Isaiah 55:8, 9) So instead of measuring you value according to the world's standards, evaluate your worth based on Jehovah's standards. You might read Bible accounts that show how Jehovah valued those who at times doubled their worth, such as Elijah, Naomi, and Hannah. You might also want to write down experiences you've had that confirm Jehovah truly loves you and values you. Additionally, you can review information on the subject of self-worth found in our publications. 

Recognize that Jehovah makes you valuable in Jehovah's eyes. At one point, possible when he was in his late 90's, the prophet Daniel felt "extremely weary" and disheartened. (Daniel 9:20, 21) How did Jehovah encourage him? God sent the angel Gabriel to remind Daniel that he was "someone very precious" and that his prayers had been heard. (Read Daniel 9:23.) What made Daniel so precious to God? Among other qualities, it was his love for righteousness and his faithfulness.  (Ezekiel 14:14) Jehovah preserved that account in his Word for our comfort. (Romans 15:4) Jehovah also listens to your prayers and values you for your love what is right and your faithful service to him. - MICAH 6:8, ftns.; HEBREWS 6:10.
