Moses—he could claim a somewhat dysfunctional start to life; he made some unwise decisions in his younger years; and in midlife he used every argument he could think of to counter God's request to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt.

God may be calling you at a time when you feel unworthy or incapable or totally lacking in the skills to be in relationship with him or to accomplish the task to which he's calling you. But with the great I AM standing with you, the past is written off and you're headed for a life of hope and of purpose.
