'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 chose 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.'
Charles Spurgeon in CJ Mahaney, Humility: True Greatness, p.103.
