I was regretting the past
and fearing the future.
Suddenly, God was speaking.
“My name is ‘I am.’”
I waited.
God 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.
My name is ‘I am.’”
