TODAY’S WORD…

.

“I AM WHO I AM.”

.

– Exodus 3:14

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

“I AM” is beyond time, always present.

.

“I AM” promises rest through Jesus

for those who suffer and are burdened.

.

Jesus said,

“I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!”

.

Jesus IS LORD,

Jesus IS the ALPHA and the OMEGA,

Jesus IS GOD,

Jesus IS the great “I AM”

who gives rest to the weary;

hope to all Christians;

and pours out His abundant grace over us all.

.

And He does this today

– not in some distant time and place,

but here and now!

.

.

.

A POEM…for reflection…

.

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.”
