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’s 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.”

I love this verse! We're still waiting for approval from Colombia, but that's ok. We are at rest in our wait knowing that our Maker is at the wheel. The word "rest" has become so beautiful to me. I never want to take for granted the rest I feel in my heart. It is something this poor struggling world is groping for, yet seldom do they realize it.
