One of my favorite people in the world is a film director named Tom. Tom has a brilliant way of telling stories on the big screen, and he's got an eye for characters who are just the right fit. One of his favorite people to cast was a guy named Jim. They've worked together long enough that Tom knows, as soon as he reads a script, that Jim is the right lead character. He often chooses scripts with Jim in mind, knowing the story will come together magically with him as the lead.
Wouldn't it be crazy for Jim to audition for the part when Tom chose the movie with him in mind? It would be a waste of everyone's time to have Jim show up and go through the motions when the decision had already been made.
As strange as it might sound to you, God already picked you to play a role in the story you find yourself in.
He's doing something through you that looks different from the lives of others, and He's not worried about whether you'll fit the part. He had you in mind before the first scene started. He's got the lead in the story.
We don't need to keep auditioning for parts we've been cast for. God wired you with a unique way of giving away love, and then He told you to go play. Embrace those around you, enjoy your story, and give away love like you've got the part. Jesus has written it just for you.
