TREMENDOUS QUOTE ON SELF-ESTEEM
“For a very long time I considered low self-esteem to be some kind of virtue. But now I realize that the real sin is to deny God’s first love for me....because without claiming that first love and that original goodness for myself, I lose touch with my true self and embark on a destructive search among the wrong people and in the wrong places for what can only be found in the house of my Father.”
- Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming
