"HE CHOSE ME!"

Ephesians 1:3-6              (KJV)
"3 Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in CHRIST:
4 According as HE hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the "ADOPTION" of children by JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS will,
6 To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the beloved."


I have two sons whom I love immensely.  Both were born to my wife and I, and have had relatively healthy lives. We didn't have a choice when they were born, we had to, and gladly, accepted what GOD had blessed us with.  As far as I am concerned, my sons are the best sons ever!

I have some friends who were not able to have children.  After they had been married for 15 years with no children, they decided to adopt an infant son.  When they adopted, the selection process was a bit more involved than when my wife and I were blessed with our sons.  Although their son was not related to them "by blood", they chose their son out of all the children in the adoption process. They could have chosen any other child, yet they chose the perfect one for them!

GOD chose me "before the foundation of the world" out of HIS whole Creation to be a part of HIS Kingdom.  Not because I was worthy or was better than others.  But out of HIS indescribable mercy, HE CHOSE ME!  The CREATOR of the universes could have picked out any of HIS Creation, yet HE CHOSE ME!  WOW!!!
