I saw a pair of open toed sandals, the kind that have straps across the top of the feet only.  They were extremely tight and covered with coloured beads, there were another pair of sandals the same, but with no beading - very quiet and unassuming.

Many people tried their feet in the colourful, bright pair, but their feet were too big, or too small and wouldnt fit.  Most peoples feet fitted the ordinary  sandals, the quiet ones.
Finally one person came along and the sandals were just the right fit and they could be worn in comfort.

Only one person fitted those bright sandals.  It seemed to me God was telling me that we are all fitted to our ministries, some quiet and unobtrusive, but nevertheless ours - and we shouldnt take on those meant for others that are ill-fitting on us.
