A Slice of Inspiration ...

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking: "My name is I am." I waited and 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."

Thank you! I *really* needed to be reminded of that truth. Thank you for your faithful heart. God loves you and so do I.
