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.
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.

I have this in calligraphy hanging in my kitchen where I read it several times a day, and each time, it is like seeing it new again. I have shared these words with others as well. I find it a constant reminder of what God's Word says and it stays on my heart.
One of the greatest poems in recorded history!
I agree. I read it over and over at times. It encourages me in the Lord every time.
Beautiful, important message.
This poem provides a wonderful summary of God's healing presence here and now, every moment.
What a beautiful, healing poem!
Thank you so much!!!
I received a framed copy of this lovely poem from the son of a client who recently passed over (I was her nurse).....a most precious gift. Thank you so very much.
