Absolute Worth. . .

I just got done reading a couple of talks for my Philosophical and Ethical Issues class. I love that my professor assigns us church talks to read that apply to the principles we are talking about. Here are two talks I read tonight that I highlighted up:
Beware of Pride
Our Divinely Based Worth
"The world tells us that our sense of worth should be based on our appearance and achievements."
"The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success."
"If we love God, do His will, and fear His judgment more than men's, we will have self-esteem."
"The world would have you believe that you are of worth only if you have money, a certain physical appearance, stylish clothes, or social position. The gospel assures you that your value is not dependent on your looks or material possessions...part of what it means to be a Latter-day Saint is to know within your soul your eternal worth, who you really are, and why you are here on earth."


Those are just a few quotes I highlighted.
Both talks are full of so many great insights!
It's great having the knowledge that eternal worth is far more valuable than worldly worth.
