My God’s Strongest
My relation with my God is special. God is a friend, philosopher, and guide to me. At times also a fellow prankster.I call him by many names and at times that I am really feeling good I even think of Him as Her. God to me is omnipresent, omnipotent and yes God looks after me and its not the other way round.
Yes He does expect me to help my fellow beings but mind you my God is strong infact he is the strongest and he doesn’t need me, I need him.
The names I call him depend on what it is that I seek from him. When I need hope I call him Jesus. When its patience I seek I call him Shiva. When very tired and looking for more stamina I call him Allah (say the word out loud without any preconceived notions and feel what I mean).
When its strength I seek I call him Wahe Guru and when I wonder about his inconceivable powers I think of him as Yahweh (the unknowable). When knowledge is what I look for I think of him as the Buddha.
So you see my God has many names and he stays true to each one of them.
So if you think you can scare me by bursting a few bombs, you are a fool. Coz my God’s strongest.

Wonderfully put.
It should be printed in bold and put up in the schools/non-schools teaching people intolerance.
Loved the way you have written it.
let all the souls who were lost forever rest in peace.
S/he gives you hope, patience, respite, strength, faith or knowledge when you need.
God has made 'you' the strongest. Try to feel the God inside.
We all need to ask ourselves how we see God. And if our God is the kind that tells us to hate.

I can't summarize it better than you have. The fundamental tenants of any religion are honesty, purity and co-existence. Somehow, we forget that in a fit of anger or by demagoguery and act like ravenous beasts.
Galadriel...let them rest in peace but lets those of us who still breathe do something to change this scenario..to one we can be happy to bequeath to our children.
Akshaya...thank you...
Exseno...am glad u agree...all religions teach love for mankind without reservation...so i guess they are all essentially the same.
IHM...boond boond se sagar bharta hai...lets begin with ourselves moving onto family and then neighbourhood...lets spread the word for love and tolerance
Trevor...no one is an atheist...no one can be... its just a matter of not accepting the popular beliefs...but deep within we all believe in a higher power...glad u like what i wrote.
Keshi.
and i can only hope and pray that i, in my own way, can do something - however little - about it.
I followed you thru Mampi's post!
Nice words.
Keep it up.
Religionistic Unity is what we need.
Rayshma...the will to make a change is the first and most important step. If you will it you can make it happen.
Thank you Kislay...am humbled by so much admiration.
Riversoul... thank you. welcome to my enchanted world.
IHM...all around us words are being used to wage war, if we can use them to spread love it would be a great endeavour.
That was a touching post and i could feel the inner energy with which they flow from your heart..It is not possible to have fake posts with so much passion inside..Kudos to you and i respect you for these thoughts..
As you said,it should start from family and neighbourhood,but when i say this,people label me as philosopher and idealistic and day dreamer..
God bless all of us..
And this is truly a beautiful post.
Like Indian Home Maker said, anyone who can write these wonderful words has to be a very, very good person indeed.
God bless you and protect you!
I have to grant it to you, you god is indeed the strongest :)
And dun miss me yet..cos IUm bak already ;-)
HUGS!
Keshi.
For Him, of course, you are a little girl though might think you are all grown up!
there's no God in my world :)
i am so happy and no one scares me
no even the ghosts in scooby-doo :D
Roop....am still wondering what that hmmm meant. Pretty intriguing.
Yamyn...thanks for visiting and the kind words
Hey Chandni thanks for agreeing...You can make him yours too...my God is available to all.
Vinod...I am from the advertising world so connections like that are bound to happen. As far as my dad is concerned he dies when I was 15 so I have only my God to look upto.
Vicky...to each his own. The name God is given to our better thoughts and kinder deeds and the believe in a better tommorow. If you wish to call it by any other name...it will still stay true to its characteristics....you know like a rose by any other name...
Thank you!
Simple short and hard hitting....
Really this needs to be put up in places as so many people here say....
I will try to use this during debriefing in insurgent areas...lets see...
kudos Ma'am..
well, anyway - tolerance being the keyword i guess..
If someone kills your son in front of your eyes, your definition of God would change. Am I right?
I have not had the good fortune of having my own child so it may not be right for me to say this.
but I have lost my dad and sister so i understand the pain of parting forever that death brings. Also I can understand that if that death is brutal and done by other men/women that much more painful.
Having said that I will answer your question:
My GOD remains strongest because even if I were to lose my son in front of my eyes my God will give me the courage and forbearance to bear it and move on and find justice and bring the guilty to book if possible. If not He will give me the wisdom to move on with life.
We have to understand that just like a mother cant always protect her child from falling down but can rush in with a soothing word and a kiss to ease the pain....so does God too.
Have it in you to look beyond and see the misery of the world and suddenly your own will seem so shallow.
God bless u....and may my God give you strength wherever you are.
