I am

Another nice one that was forwarded forwarded... Suddenly these 2 days, I got a few nice ones... Must be the Easter season that's why.

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 the moment, it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM."

Broken Dreams...

My friend emailed me this... so real and true and beautiful.

Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,
'How could you be so slow''
My child,' He said, 'What could I do?
You never did let go.'

May you have the strength to let go of your broken dreams today and let God make them whole.
