Chosen.
In Him we are also chosen.
Ephesians 1:11a
Pride is faith in the idea that God had when he made us. A proud man is conscious of the idea, and aspires to realize it. He does not strive towards a happiness, or comfort, which may be irrelevant to God's idea of him. His success is the idea of God, successfully carried through, and he is in love with his destiny.
Isak Dinesen, from Out of Africa
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5
Let's be content with what God has given us, including having a Godly pride of ourselves, because we are a gift and we have been chosen. As a gift, we were not presented with the option of what color our hair would be or what our personality would be like. Let's have faith in what God's made us to be.
