People think pride is a sin, but it depends.

Pride from exalting the self, feeling superiority over others, claiming glory for oneself is absolutely sinful.

But loving what god has entrusted to you? Valuing your role and responsibility is virtuous.

I love when I meet people who tell me their kids are the best kids on earth.

Same when I meet someone who is proud of their country, their marriage, their job. Etc…

Loving things according to their proper place, loving god supremely, feeling gratitude for your roles and responsibilities is rightly ordered.

It’s good to have pride in that sense.

Healthy pride = satisfaction from achievements

Unhealthy pride = arrogance and an inflated sense of superiority

Nuanced distinction

Personally I never feel pride over my achievements, because I always think I should be doing more/better.

Transient satisfaction is a better frame. Celebrating achievement is a healthy, sustainable dopamine bump to thrust us into continued achievement. Languishing in achievements stunts further progress

Anytime I feel comfortable with achievement it’s a nudge to think bigger and elevate my ambitions

There is no limit to the good we can do to glorify God. Only self imposed ceilings that keep us comfortable

Thanks for the A+ posts 👊🏽
