God was Proud: The moment Jesus came up out of the baptismal waters, the skies opened up and he saw God’s Spirit— it looked like a dove—descending and landing on him. And along with the Spirit, a voice: “This is my Son, chosen and marked by my love, delight of my life.” Matthew 3:17 MSG And a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matt. 3:17 MSG

Acceptable Human Pride:
Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6 NIV I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry. Romans 11:13 NIV I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you.
