I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly, the Lord was speaking: “My name is I Am.” He paused. I waited. He continued.

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. I am here. My name is I AM.
