God chooses people for a relationship with Himself…this is the doctrine of Election or Predestination…but then think about this quote from Charles Spurgeon, “I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him.” I would admit for me, that is a very true statement. In my broken and worldly condition, I was rebellious and selfish…concerned only for my own comfort & welfare, without regard for others. I self-indulged in things I only liked and was stubborn & hardheaded towards anyone who suggested otherwise. In other words, my last choice would have been to regret, repent, resolve, and reform my ways. But God had other ideas…
