What are we worth?

Most things can be sold for money, so we know what their worth. But how do we know how much we're worth to God?
God sees us with a different point of view than humans, so what does God see in us and what does most people see in us.

Most people see from the outside, they judge us by:
Appearance: Weather we look good or not
Occupation: Do we have a good job?
Wealth: How much money do we have?
and Talent: Are we especially smart at something?

God sees differently: He looks at our hearts, he is happy when we're happy, he's crying for us when we're sad. He loves us because we're his creation. In Genesis, when he made us, he said it was very good. Everything else he made was just good. That gives us an idea of what we're worth. We're worth more to God than anything else on earth. That was why Jesus died on the cross for us, he could easily not care about us and not die, but he chose to die for us because that was the only way our sins would be forgiven.Your worth is best summed up by Romans chapter 12 verse 3: For by the grace give me I say to every one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. We are worth the amount of faith inside us.

Now that you know how much you're worth it's your time to think: should I see other people as? Should I judge them by their appearances or look into their hearts?
