I Will Be What I Will Be

As Moshe was ready to be sent out to speak to the Jews to tell them that he was the emissary of Hashem to take them out of Mitzrayim he asked Hashem by what name He should be introduced to the people. Hashem answered אהיה אשר אהיה, I will be what I will be.

The word היה indicates the past, that which was. Oftentimes in life we feel that we are weighed down by our past, things that we have done, choices that we have made have created realities as to who we are that are unchangeable. We have no future because of our past.

How do we change the past to create a future? By adding the letter א we change היה, what was, to אהיה I will be. The letter א symbolizes the one Hashem. By reconnecting to God we can undo our past and create the future that we wish to create.
