The difference between 'ujb (self-admiration) and blameless joy in obedience is that 'ujb is seeing oneself and attributing merit to oneself, while forgetting the Bestower. As for blameless joy in obedience, it is joy in Allah's favor and grace, and feeling the immensity of His bestowal, and the perfection of His grace and benevolence.
