"I AM"

 “I AM” – A Story of Light in the Darkness"


It was a cold winter evening when David found himself walking the empty streets of his city. The world around him felt heavy,  bills were piling up, his health was fragile, and his prayers seemed unanswered.

 For months he had been asking God for a breakthrough, yet silence echoed back.



As he walked, he passed by a small church. Its door was half-open, and inside, the dim light of candles flickered. Drawn by something beyond his understanding, David stepped inside.


On the altar, an open Bible caught his eye. The page was turned to the Gospel of Mark, chapter 14. His eyes fell on the words:


“ARE YOU THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE BLESSED ONE?” — “I AM,” JESUS ANSWERED."


The words hit him like a wave. “I AM.” 

Simple, but eternal. Suddenly, he felt as if God was not far away, not silent, not absent. 

He realized that Jesus wasn’t just the Messiah for people 2,000 years ago  He is “I AM” here and now, present in every breath, every struggle, every tear.


David remembered Moses standing before the burning bush, trembling, uncertain, asking who it was that spoke to him. God had answered: “I AM WHO I AM.” And now, in the gospel, Jesus spoke the same words. The connection was clear: the same God who stood with Moses in the desert stood with David in his brokenness.


Tears welled in his eyes. He whispered: 

“If You are the great I AM, then You are here with me… even when I cannot see You.”



That night, David walked back home not with his problems solved, but with a new strength. 

He knew he was not alone. The “I AM” walked beside him.


Life often throws us into seasons where we feel unseen, unheard, and forgotten. 

But the words of Jesus in Mark 14:61-62 remind us that He is more than a historical figure, He is alive, present, and unchanging.


When you are afraid, He says: I AM your peace.


When you are weak, He says: I AM your strength.


When you feel lost, He says: I AM the way.


When you doubt your worth, He says: I AM your Shepherd, and you are mine.




Just like David in the story, each of us can encounter the living Christ who still speaks: “I AM.”

GOD IS ASKING YOU, HUMAN

  God Is Asking You, Human God: Man, woman… Stop for a moment. When was the last time you breathed slowly? When was the last time you looked at the sky without rushing, or felt the scent of the earth and whispered, “Thank You”? Why do you keep running, as if you’ll find somewhere else what your heart already knows  that I am here, closer than your own breath? God asks: Why are you afraid of silence? Do you think I’ll abandon you there? Silence is where you hear Me the clearest. It is not emptiness  it is the space where your heart meets Mine. God: Human, when you pray, are you honest - or afraid that your truth might disappoint Me? Do you think I don’t know your thoughts before you speak them? I don’t want perfect words , I want your honest breath, I want you to let Me in, right where it hurts. God asks you, woman: Why do you think you God  must do everything alone? Who told you your worth depends on perfection? I created you to love, not to burn in exhaustion. ...

A Story of Courage and Healing

  Walking with Wounds  A Story of Courage and Healing Introduction: We All Carry Wounds No one goes through life untouched. Each of us carries wounds, some visible, etched into our skin, and some invisible, hidden deep in our hearts. These wounds remind us of losses, disappointments, struggles, and pain. Yet, they also shape us, teach us, and make us who we are. To walk with wounds does not mean giving up. It means choosing life, even when it hurts. Ernest Hemingway once wrote: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” Our wounds are not the end of our story. They can become the source of strength, wisdom, and compassion. Wounds That Shape Us When we look back at our lives, it is easy to feel sorrow over what hurt us. But wounds are more than scars of suffering, they are proof that we survived. I once overheard an elderly woman on a train telling her granddaughter: "Do you see these wrinkles? They are the footprints of my life. Each has ...
