I AM

Here’s a poem by Helen Mallicoat which Pastor Scott (from TCAC) shared with us today in his message about the reality that God’s kingdom is amongst us now (Luke 17:20-23).

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.
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.”
