I believe my esteem of myself is in its best shape when it agrees with our Creator's esteem of me. And so...

There is the "me" I think I see;
There is the "me" other people see;
There is the "me" our Maker sees;
My goal is to reconcile the three, and the only one I can change is my own.

PS: Self-esteem is never an issue of quantity, only a matter of accuracy (honest candor) and quality.
