Pop idol.

I know you all remember Pop Idol and other shows like X-Factor.
A whole bunch of people lining up wanting to be chosen by a panel of judges (who have already decided what they are looking for) as well as the public (who are painfully fickle). They put themselves forward to be chosen; each one has chosen themselves and they want you to acknowledge them too.

Do you want to know something amazing; you don’t need to put yourself forward, God chose you. He sought you out, He came looking for you – and from the before the foundation of the world too!
“You didn't choose me, remember; I chose you,” Jesus said, “and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil.” John 15:16
No performing is required, no auditions either, or a reliance on phone voting by the public. God knew you and chose you. He said, “Come.” And held out the prize [His hand to lead us]. The competition was over before you were even born; He wanted you.

Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass." They didn't ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed. Matt 4:18-20

When you realise this aren’t you filled with a desire to lay down everything for Him?
I can’t remember who was responsible for penning this but it’s true: “It is only when we begin to see ourselves as chosen, called and commissioned by Christ that we shall have any real sense of our responsibility to present our bodies to Him ‘as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God.’”
