I AM

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I Am that I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. I remember clearly, as a child, really grasping the meaning of I AM!!  I had heard that verse many times but never really understood the full impact of I AM!!  I AM…whatever you need!!  Wow!!  As a parent there are things I can not give my child. I can not give my child complete peace. I can make their home peaceful but that doesn't give them complete peace. Only our Heavenly Father can do that!  John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my PEACE I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”  This is one of my favorite verses!  We all have fears. But I AM can give us full complete peace!  Another thing I can not give my children is healing. When my children are sick, there is nothing I want more than to be able to heal them. But I don't have that ability!  But our Lord~I AM~does!! Psalms 103:1-3.  “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” There are so many things that I AM is!  He is our joy~ 1 John 1:3-4 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your JOY may be full. He is our foundation~ Psalms 18:2 The Lord is my ROCK, and my FORTRESS, and my DELIVERER; my GOD, my STRENGTH, in whom I will trust… He is our salvation~ John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. But most of all, HE is my Lord and Saviour!!
