Past, Present, Future

As someone who has always moved into the future with a deep ache over the loss of the past (and I do mean always--I distinctly recall being eight years old and crying over a book at which a character had to move from one country to another), I am extremely comforted that God constantly introduces Himself in reference to past events, that His covenant name is "I AM," that He repeats over and over that He is a God who remembers.

God is not only already in the future, God is still in the past, just as sure as He is here now, constant from age to age, holding all of my days in His hands. And nothing He holds can be lost forever.
