Can God Be Proud Of You?

Writer David Wilson

Yes, God can definitely be proud of us. God can be proud of his children. In fact, when we do things that please God he will definitely be proud of us. We should ensure that we strive to do what is right in the eyes of God. When we love each other and keep his commandments and do what is right in his eyes, then that will definitely make him proud.

No one really knows how God thinks or what God feels, however, God can definitely be proud of us. The same way that we can be proud of our kids when they do what is right. Even in our human experiences, we are proud of people when they accomplish certain things or do things that can be considered to be good. In a sense, you could say that it is the same with God. In the Bible, it says that God was proud of Jesus. In fact, the scripture says, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. So, if God can be proud of his son, then he can also be proud of us.

Understand that no one on this planet is perfect and that we all make mistakes. Don’t think that God expects all of us to be perfect or to never make mistakes. There’s a difference between doing something that we know is wrong or at least making a change to do what is right. We are all a work in progress and it’s all that we can do. We can work on ourselves one day at a time until we keep making progress and getting better at the things that we need to work on. That’s pretty much all that we can do.

It is definitely possible to make God proud, happy, or pleased with us. This can happen when we do the things that God requires of us. This could even be keeping his commandments or even the way we treat other people in the world. We need to put our trust in God, which is the only way that we’ll make it.
