It is not very big, but what pride is there still needs to be beaten down until it's gone. :) Better humility than pride.

It's as big as I feed it. The cloak of humility helps to kill it.

Pride is not a harmful thing if it is such that draws attention to God.



Speaking with grand appreciation in what God has done in our lives is a sort of pride or at least seen as such by others.



If we are to boast let us boast in the work of Christ for our lives and the love of God toward us. For this is the gospel as living epistles.

Pride will not be a bad idea, if it points to something/someone else other than I. For me to pride around in the redemption handed me by Christ is a brilliant concept as i use it to draw others to him...But the nuance is when I do not glory in the things done for me, but I glory in things I do for myself and those others cant top or reach. Then such pride needs some dose of humility and some cloak of shame to break its backbone of elegance...

Lets GLORY and be PROUD of the things done for us in Christ..and that knowledge will kill the "vessels of sin" that might be hiding in us as believer

I am proud of the gifts and abilities that God has blessed me with, but I strive every day to remain humble in my life and my actions.

But sometimes when this question is asked about "How Big Is Your Pride", one thing comes to mind....How big can your pride be, after you had been broken by Christ love and fellowship of his suffering? I dont really know anylonger how to make a quantifiable proportion of the requested pride massive weight!
