Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
Yes -- Just as valuable as anyone else. It`s not on the outside or what we look like that matters in any way. We all have souls and are made in God`s image

To our lord all of us matter. Suffer the little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom heaven. Jesus wants us to come to him as little children. The poor and needy who give the best of themselves is of greater value than the rich who give only a token of their wealth.All are equal in the sight of our lord if they accept him and through him the Father.

Yes JESUS talks about a poor woman. Then He talks about inviting the poorest of the poor for reception.

All are equal in God`s eyes. To be rich does not guarantee that you belong to Jesus. Most of the time it is the poorest who has the greatest belief in God. You need to be rich in your faith and belief in God.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
The haughty look to their own abilities, riches, fame, power, etc. and cannot lower themselves to relying on anyone else. The lowly by comparisson, while assured of their strengths, also acknowledge that it is given from our Heavenly Father. That is why Jesus values the lowly. Because their hearts, minds and souls are willing to be shaped according to God`s will, not their own. The word lowly should not indicate a weakness, but rather a willingness to accept Jesus as Lord, and God as the giver of grace.

Now all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. And both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." ( Luke 15:1-2)

Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ( Matthew 19:13-14)

He called the twelve and said to them, "If any one wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." And taking a child , He stood him in the midst of them; and taking him in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever receives one child like this in My name is receiving Me; and whoever receives Me is not receiving Me, but Him who sent Me." ( Mark 9:35-37)

And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." ( Mark 12:41-44)

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, ‘How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ( John 4:7-9)

And it came about when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him closely…And he went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you. But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." ( Luke :-1-:1)
