Is it a Godly thing to do, to boast of our Godliness?
What about just being very proud of our Godliness, feeling better than others less Godly?
If scripture says humility is fundamental, all have sinned, and even Paul refused to boast about anything but Christ Himself.... it seems there's little room for pride. Maybe just a strong sense of self esteem, purpose, and enthusiasm for helping people.

In these areas, I play it safEST.
Let any man boast, boast in God. (Bible verse)
If any man glory, glory in that he knows God. (Bible verse)
I don't go any further. Something that helps me is to say, My boast is in the Holy Ghost. It's catchy, it rhymes, it helps! :)

Boasting at all is usually a bad thing, unless you're boasting about God and not yourself.

There's good pride and bad pride. Good Pride: school, accomplishments, helping others, your children, State & Country. Bad Pride: arrogance, hubris, "holier than thou", conceit, stuck-up, privilege, prestige, and foolish pride.

Big secret. Never compare. Judge righteous judgement of yourself.

No. We're supposed to be humble -- as you very well know.
