Last week I received a birthday card from a friend.
This is the wording on the front of the card.
"I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly, the 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.' "
