Who Is God?

I was regretting the past

and fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

My Name Is I AM

He paused.

I waited.

He continued:

"When you live in the past

and its mistakes and regrets,

it is hard.

I am not there. My name is not  I WAS.

When you live in the future,

with its fears and problems

it is hard.

I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in the  moment

It is not so hard.

I am here.

My name is I AM.

I was regretting the past

and fearing the future.

Suddenly, my Lord was speaking.

"My Name is I AM"

He paused. I waited.  He continued:

When you live in the past, 

With it mistakes and regrets, 

It is hard. 

My name is not I WAS.

When you live in the future,

With its problems and fears,

It is hard.

My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment, 

It is not too hard.

I am here.

My name is I AM

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
