I Am...Abiding Love...
...so that as you abide in Me, you abide in love.
I Am...Mighty and Strong...
...so that you may have My strength and power for your
weaknesses.
I Am...the Joy-giver...
...so that your joy may be filled to overflowing.
I Am...the Provider, Jehovah-jireh...
...so that you may have provision for all you need.
I Am...Life Everlasting...
...so that you may have Eternal Life within you.
I Am...the Lord of Peace...Jehovah-shalom...
...so that you may be filled with My peace in a chaotic
world.
I Am...the One Who whispers to your soul...
God once said to me, “My
name is I AM, not I WAS or I WILL BE. If My children insist on living in the
past with regrets and unforgiveness, then I am not there, for My Name is not I
WAS, even though I was to others, yet I still am. If My children insist on
living in the future, I am, in essence, not there yet, for My Name is not I
WILL BE, even though I will be what they need when they get there. If they want
to change My Name, change it to TODAY, for that is where they will find Me. I
am where My Name is. My Name is My Presence.”
In the New Testament, Jesus is Jehovah-shammah, as Matthew,
quoting prophecy, said of His name, “‘They shall call His name Immanuel,’
translated as, ‘God with us.’” (Matt. 1:23b NKJV)
The last thing Jesus said to His disciples was, “And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:20 NKJV)
I Am...always with you, intimately involved in all you do...
...Jehovah-shammah, Immanuel...
...so that you may know Me in your innermost being.
I Am...so that you can be!
