Self Esteem?


As I have been reading and studying about ways to overcome my fears and negative feelings from the past, the notion of self-esteem keeps popping up. Should Christians have self-esteem? I am so perplexed and frustrated. On one hand, I know that my negative self image is hindering my ability to develop relationships with others and God. Yet, when I read someone like John MacArthur I hear that we are all just "privy pots." :) So, what is the correct way to view oneself?

Christian Self Esteem is rooted in the idea that God has given us a good heart ... a heart that we can trust. Most of us get into trouble because we live out of our head instead of out heart ... that is problematic becaue faith is of the heart.
