: My name is I am. : blessingsindisguise August 30, 2008, 09:53:18 PM I was shopping today and my daughter found this on a little card and showed it to me.
It just seemed so perfect and so timely. I hope it encourages you like it did me. blessings 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."

It truly is inspirational, live for today for today is all we have!! : Re: My name is I am. : Sparrow August 31, 2008, 05:40:59 AM Blessings,
Although i am not a religious person, this really meant something to me. i was touched by what it said. im currently going through a time of learning about myself. im discovering and re-discovering things about myself. and i really needed to hear this. Live in the moment. thats the only real place we have to live isnt it? regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or anything. My name is I Am. : Re: My name is I am. : anne September 01, 2008, 02:05:23 PM Thank you Blessings! A gentle reminder of Who's really holding us together.
anne : Re: My name is I am. : Truebluemom September 01, 2008, 11:12:36 PM Thanks for sharing. What a great reminder. I remember a story about Cory Ten Boom, a famous Dutch Christian who helped Jewish refugees in WWII. She was going on a trip and was afraid. Her father was carrying her heavy suitcase for her. Her father explained how God will not give us the strength in advance to get through a situation, but will provide what we need, when we need it; just as he, her earthly father, was providing the strength to carry her suitcase (burden) to the train.
