He Chose Me!

At the moment I am reading C.J. Mahaney's book Humility: True Greatness. I've been meaning to blog about it, but have not really had time lately, or just flat out forget to. But in chapter 8 Mahaney was talking about "Identifying Evidences of Grace", also known as evidences of God's grace, or what I like to call EGGs. In this part of the chapter, he was talking about God calling us to Himself, and gives this Charles Spurgeon quote which I loved!

"I believe in the doctrine of election, because I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him; and I am sure He shose me before I was born, or else He never would have chosen me afterwards, and He must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why He should have looked upon me with special love."

Wow! How true is that?
