This jumped out at me:
2Corinthians 6-7
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

My Take:
     God has shined in our hearts because she chose to do so.  We are not worthy, and nobody has done anything to earn this glory more than anyone else.  Throughout the Bible, God has chosen to unlikely people to be His.  Moses was a runaway murderer.  Paul was persecuting the followers of Jesus.  We are all earthen vessels, fragile and unworthy to hold such great treasure.  If you have faith, and Jesus lives in you, it is because God chose it to be so.
