I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking:My name is I AM.
When you live in the past,with 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 problems and fears,it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I Will Be.
When you live in this moment,it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.

Awesome & so true
This really hit me. Thank you for taking the time to post it. So many times I wish I could change the past. Of course you can't so you think "what if" and then you wrack your brain for being stupid.... on and on the cycle goes.... So now I will remember your post and try to be "I AM".
Thank you. You are such a gracious soul...
Powerful and inspirational! SO glad you shared it! It's definitely food for thought...I couldn't agree more.
Amen. Makes ya think.
