I almost let this list of disqualifications override the call on my life and when I talk to other men & women I learn that I’m not the only one who’s calling is threatened by shame. This is why some of my favorite stories in scripture are those that show God swooping in on the broken life of a disqualified person and doing mighty works in and through his or her life.
One of these broken & disqualified people is an unnamed Samaritan woman who we know best as “The Woman at the Well”. Scripture never tells us her name, but she had a reputation & it’s likely that everyone in her village knew who she was.
