“Stay Low”
Having a healthy amount of self-esteem is important; after all, if we don’t believe in ourselves who will? We just must be careful to ensure there is a good balance between building our self-esteem and maintaining humility. Telling ourselves and others how great we or they are may solve the issue of low self-esteem; however, if we are not watchful, it could also foster arrogance and entitlement.
To err on the side of caution, just stay low.
“But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6
