God's value in creation has different hues as well as different number in God's eyes, he sees what is higher to what is lower. He sees it because he is the ultimate one by it's measured by. The standard. We only perceive relative to a standard borrowed from him but on much smaller scale.

How does God measure the objective value of his own standard for objective value?

This is a good question, God himself is knowledge, he witnesses himself as sheer perfection, absolute life such that there cannot exist a god other then Him. His existence is absolute. Had this absolute value not existed, then no value would exist, because all of it must have a basis, and the only basis is absolute knowledge/perception for it to be true.

Had God been limited or one of many, then this would be impossible.

When we witness God's Oneness, it is borrowed from his own witnessing of himself and his witnessing of all things.
