He chose Me

We have the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, which exists in Christianity as far as who chose whom.  Did Christ choose us and thus making it a predestinationn for us to be a child of God or did we choose Him and thus our free choice nature creates history as we go? 
In Galatians 2:20 we see Paul writes that Christ gave himself, thus making it a choice.  He never had to finish what He was sent here to do seeing as He is the Son of God, but He did.  Paul states also that if following the laws (rules) would get us into heaven, then Christ gave Himself for no reason.  "for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." Galatians 2:20.  He chose us and now the ball is in our court to choose Him.  Why does it matter if we are predestined or not anyway?  Churches have been divided by such things and yet at the end of the day, Christ died for everyone and loves everyone.  It's our choice to allow our hearts to be softened and the miracle of salvation wash over us.
Have a day blessed by God!
