God Is. Always. It's not God was, or God will be. God is the I Am. Present. Always. I understand now that thinking and focusing on the past or the future only draws my mind away from being in alignment with my Source. And I experience the consequences.
When I am thinking of the past, I'm not here; my mind is somewhere else. The past can bring up feelings of melancholy, guilt, regret, etc. God is not there. When my mind is in the future....I may be worrying, planning, stressed, fearful. God is not there either.
For some time now I have been deliberately practicing being present. My mind will drift, of course, it's what the ego mind does. When I realize this, I bring it back to whatever the present moment calls me to be and do. There is peace and balance here. This is where I want to be all the time. Where God Is!
