Someone on my other board this AM posted the following:
"My self-esteem must be based on the fact that I am a child of God, not what others think, not what I have done in the past, not what others do, not what I have achieved, just that I am loved by the creator of the universe."
It doesn't take much imagination to tweak that for nonbelievers. Kinda cuts through the crap to bedrock, I thought.
