But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

2 Corinthians 10:17-18

What are you proud of? What traits of yours are cause for admiration? What have you accomplished that was praiseworthy? I’m sure there is something! Know this: God did not pick us and make us his so that he could have us all wallow in self-imposed mediocrity and call it humility.

The key is to give God the credit for the good we do. Only then can we truly be both humble and proud!
