My Name Is I AM

I saw this on plaque at Southeastern University some years ago and had forgotten it until I saw it again recently.  Read it slowly…

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking: “My name is ‘I AM.’ 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. But I am not there.  Where am I?  I am here…right now!   MY NAME IS ‘I AM.’”
