It’s Because of Him
Some good verses for us to reflect:
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
--- 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
When we looked back and remembered the time when we were called, we knew exactly our condition at that time. Maybe we’re so weak, maybe we’ve been in constant pain and bitterness, maybe we’re the centre of hatred in the family. But, God called us anyway because He loves us so much. It’s because of Him that we’re in Him, becoming His children. Don’t boast, just be thankful to Him. (-fon-)
