You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, who knows you and loves you. Read Psalm 8:4–6; Jeremiah 1:5; John 13:34; Doctrine and Covenants 18:10; Abraham 3:22–23; and Joseph Smith—History 1:1–20. Write in your journal how these scriptures teach you that Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and is mindful of you.
In Psalm 8: 4-6 it says that God is mindful of man, in particular "him". Him is a singular noun which means that God is aware of each of us individually. It explains that we have a great deal of potential to become like Him. He knows exactly who we are and is always there to help and guide us.
In Jeremiah 1:5 it reads that before we were conceived God knew who we were individually. He created a plan for us. For example, He preordained Jeremiah to be a prophet.
In John 13:34 it reads that we are commanded to "Love one another as I have loved you". This explains that God loves each and every one of us individually. He knows who we are and loves us, not as a whole group, but as a person. He loves us unconditionally. Therefore, no matter what we do, God will always love us. We must also love others to receive this love.
In Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 it says that "The worth of souls is great in the sight of God". He values each of our souls. We must also value ourselves and others because God loves each and every one of us.
In Abraham 3:22-23 it states that God made all of our souls and said that they were "good". This means that each of us has a worthy and good soul. The passage goes onto to name Abraham specifically and say that he was one of them and he was chosen before he was born. Similar to Jeremiah 1:5, we know that God knows each of us individually and is aware of who we are capable of becoming.
In Joseph Smith History 1:1-20 we read most particularly how aware Heavenly Father is of each and every one of us. Joseph Smith was a farm boy that had very little education. However, he had a very powerful question. Heavenly Father knew how much worth his soul was. When Joseph came to Him with a simple prayer about which church to join, the Lord and the Saviour came down directly to speak with him. They knew this young boy personally, and called him by name, and answered his question.
Every person in this world, including myself, has a great deal of worth and it is my job to find the worth in everyone. I must love everyone, even myself.
