I AM WHO I AM
The grain of sand upon the shore,
The protostar in Your galaxy -
And me, made in Your image,
Each of us: a portrait of
Your Love.
From dust to a breathing soul,
From nothing to a burning star -
From corrosion to a grain so old,
Each of us: a statement of
*Your Love.*
“I am Yahweh: I AM WHO I AM.”
I will be your God - *your Higher Power.*
Inspiration upon reading Moses’ conversation with the LORD, in the biblical text Exodus 3:14-15; I tried to envisage the creation of ‘being’ from the smallest matter. Note: The word “God” derives from Germanic origins (6th century CE), while the Torah used Hebrew terms such as “Elohim” and “YHWH” (the Tetragrammaton). “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh” - ‘I AM WHO I AM’ conveys God’s self-revealed identity as being, presence, and eternal power.
