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 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."

This is very powerful even if you don't believe in God or a Higher Power.

Take this in in the moment you are in.........RIGHT NOW!!!
