How we feel about ourselves.

The thoughts and opinions of others do affect us, they do not make us who we are. We are who GOD says we are. GOD does not condemn us; although, HE does correct us. HE is not looking for opportunities to punish us or make us feel bad about ourselves. HE is not a GOD who is constantly analyzing and punishing us each time we do something wrong. Because HE is a loving and merciful GOD, we, as HIS children, should be the same loving and appreciating ourselves and others unconditionally.
