The Unrighteous Who Become Righteous

No man can boast, saying "I chose God!" This is the custom of some who look down upon their unbelieving neighbor and in doing so, become transgressors themselves. Nor can any man boast "The Lord chose me!", for in truth the Lord has chosen a multitude without number in space and time. The one who boasts in himself is a transgressor for all glory, honor, power, and majesty belongs to Almighty God. 

We were all equally yoked to darkness, my friends. What does the scripture say?

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, we also are in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. (1 John 4:15-19 NASB)

We did not choose Him, He chose us. He loved us first.  

Yes, it appears God doesn't choose those who are not willing to come, or who are willing to come but on their own terms.

The Parable of the Wedding Feast
Mat 22:1  And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 
Mat 22:2  The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 
Mat 22:3  And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 
Mat 22:4  Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 
Mat 22:5  But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 
Mat 22:6  And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 
Mat 22:7  But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 
Mat 22:8  Then says he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 
Mat 22:9  Go you therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, bid to the marriage. 
Mat 22:10  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 
Mat 22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 
Mat 22:12  And he said unto him, Friend, how came you in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 
Mat 22:13  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
Mat 22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen.
