One of the things that I know, with every fiber of my being, is that
Heavenly Father lives. Along with that knowledge, I have come to know
that he revers his children in such a high and esteemed manner. In
D&C 60:4 He refers to his children as jewels. We are his jewels
because have infinite worth. I find it interesting that the world seeks
after money and riches, and Heavenly Father uses this metaphor to
describe his children. He wants us to know how much we are worth to
him.
But more than that, we are also his jewels in the
sense that we are his special treasure. We have literally been bought
and paid for--purchased--by the blood of his son. Would God let his son
sacrifice his life for the souls of those whom he did not consider of
great worth? Certainly not. He allowed Christ to suffer such great pain
and agony because he also loves us--and because we are of great worth to
him-- we are his jewels. God loves us. He loves me. And I love him.
Why? Because he loved me first.
D&C 60:4 For I,
the Lord, rule in the heavens above, and among the armies of the earth;
and in the day when I shall make up my jewels all men shall know what it
is that bespeakesth the power of God.
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
