One thought:

Historically, those with 'low self-esteem', tend to treat others badly. On the other hand, The Bible, at Matthew 19:19, tells us that we must ... love our neighbor as ourselves...so obviously, we need to have a sense of personal dignity and self worth, in order to show love and respect to others.

It's important to remember that humans are a creation of God, and he sent his precious son to die for each of us (1 John 4:7-10/John 3:16). We have worth. Those who respond loyally to this demonstration of love, who act on it, GIVING BACK to God and to OTHERS according to God's word(Acts 20:35/Proverbs 11:25) will be rewarded with inner peace and well-being(Psalm 37:4). When we do what's right and what's commendable in God's eyes, we feel GOOD about who we are(Mark 12:30-33). We feel joy, and will treat others accordingly.

Though we should never feel superior to anyone else(1 Corinthians 4:7/Romans 12:3/Proverbs 8:13/1Peter 5:5/Proverbs 11:2/Romans 3:23), we can feel good about our worth in God's eyes(Galatians 5:26/6:3+4), even if we make mistakes, because God knows what's in our hearts(1 Samuel 16:7)(Psalm 103:13/Psalm 130:3+4). If we are doing our best to do God's will(Hebrews 6:10)(Acts 10:34+35) and trying hard to please him by applying his word(Galatians 5:22+23)(Ecclesiastes 12:13) we will feel GOOD about ourselves and be in a position to help build others up too. (John 13:34+35)(Philippians 2:1-4)(1 Thessalonians 5:14)

The Bible says: "Pride doth goest before a fall".

Spiritual writer Thomas Merton said: "The worship of self is the worship of nothing - and the worship of nothing, is Hell."
