"I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking, "My name is 'I AM'" I waited. God 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.'"
[Helen Mellicost quoted in On Hundred Graces - as quoted in 100 Ways to Keep Your Soul Alive by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat.]
