God is looking down from up above, searching for hearts that are fully committed to Him. He is totally uninterested with our background; so many people who have worse backgrounds than us have been used and are still being used by God to do His mighty works. Neither is God interested in your talents or gifts 'cause He will train you and prepare you to do what He has called you before sending you out into the battlefield.
There is one and only one person called for every need. Your name has been tied down to that need even before you exist. So do not expect God to just give up on you and look for someone else when you ask Him to do so. He will wait for you to respond after calling out to you, and He will wait patiently. Remember, you will not be ready when He calls you. In fact, nobody will ever be ready.
Most of the times, we are called to accomplish missions that are way beyond our capability. That is when God stretches you and moulds you and teaches you to rely on Him. Be patient, 'cause it takes time for Him to remove the sharp edges after He has called you.
Often, after knowing the description of the task that is given to us, excuses start rising. But imagine, if Moses kept up with his excuses and refuse to do what God has called him to do, the Israelites will still be enslaved in Egypt. The need will forever remain.
A few days ago, I was listening to a podcast by Ps Bill Johnson and he preached about the exact same thing. "There is a miracle that God has been planning eternity past. A miracle, something impossible, something that can only be brought forth in it's purest form through you. It can't be done by someone else. It can only be brought forth accurately, powerfully, purely through you, and the world is crying for it." Coincidence? I don't think so.
When God calls, respond. Do not escape.
