Do you really think Allah wants to use guilt to make you worship Him?
There is nothing wrong with having fear of Allah Alhamdullilah? It keeps one in line Alhamdullilah. But I will never think that Allah is out to get me. He wants me to succeed and have self esteem Alhamdullilah.
The only way to have self esteem is to Worship Allah mashallah. Believers are the best of creation not the worst. Do you think Allah would let the worst of creation enter Jannah? No, Those are unbelievers. The best of creation, which is believers will go to Jannah firdous inshallah.
Having respect for oneself is important. It is Shaitan that wants you to feel worthless not Allah, Alhamdullilah.
