"The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."

                            -Deuteronomy 7:7-8

I was reading in Deuteronomy earlier tonight, and these verses have been on my heart ever since. I know that many times in my walk with God I have questioned how He could possibly love me, and why He chooses to use someone like me when there are countless people out there with so much more to offer Him. But through this Scripture we catch a small glimpse of why God picked us, out of all people, to be ambassadors for His Kingdom: to put in quite simply, He loves us.

Moses told the Israelites that the Lord didn't choose them because they were large in number. They were in fact very few in number. But, in reality, that is one of the reasons God did choose them, for Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:27, 29, "...God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty...That no flesh should glory in his presence." In other words, God delights in using those whom the world would classify as a nobody, because then He gets 100% of the glory for all that He accomplishes through them. When the Lord made a young shepherd (David) king over His people, the credit for His success couldn't be given to previously acquired academic skills or good social standing; God got it all. Likewise, when God uses people like me and you, all who see His working us will say with certainty, "God is doing something great through them." 

So if you've ever asked yourself, "Why did God choose me?", then know today that it wasn't because you had something special to offer Him. It was because He loved you - it was because He made you.
