A Good Meditation for the Week

I got this in an email and I thought I would share it with you all.  It is a short poem of sorts that really makes you think.  Many times we live in the past or the future instead of living in the NOW.  So what does the Lord want us to do?  Maybe this will help us know.  

God bless you all!!

"I AM"

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."
