"Self esteem" is just another word for "pride", and we know what God said about that. God's kind of encouragement leads us to say to people "you can do better."
Proverbs 11:2 "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."
Proverbs 16:5 "Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished."
Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."
Proverbs 26:12 "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.'
James 4:6 "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
