A Poem of Reflection on the Presence of God

Morning Meditation
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 it’s 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.
