Why me, Lord? By Charles Simeon,
the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians
2.20 Well may every child of God exclaim with wonder, What
astonishing love is this, That you have loved me from eternity
past, That you should give your precious Son to redeem me! and
your eternal spirit to sanctify me by his grace. In the review
of his own life, he may well add, Why me, Lord? why have you
chosen me, and redeemed me, and snatched me as a burning brand
out of the fire? Yes, truly, in the review of
all these mercies, I must of necessity exclaim, I praise you,
Lord, with all my soul. May I never forget the wondrous
things which you have done for me. You have forgiven all my
sins, and redeemed me from damnation, and will crown me with your love
and tender mercies forever. Ephesians chapter 1 verses 3
to 6. Praise be to the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ. who has blessed us in the heavenly
realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in
him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless
in his sight. In love he predestined us to
be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with
his pleasure and will, to the praise of his glorious grace,
which he has freely given us in the one he loves.
