The Bible repeatedly affirms that, regardless of circumstances, we are precious in the sight of the Lord.

This understanding transforms how we view ourselves and how we engage with the world.
God’s love and care for us surpass anything this world can offer.
These 35 Bible verses about being precious in the sight of the Lord offer a powerful reminder that, in God’s eyes, we are more than enough.
His gaze is filled with compassion, purpose, and eternal love, and it is through His eyes that we find our true worth.
