Manish garu, well said. In fact, everypeople use god in their daily lives. Without God, no one can do anything. Some realise it. Some ignore it. That's all.
Those who believe in god talk about HIM, those who disbelieve HIM also talk about HIM.

Dad's Reply
One Sunday I passed thru the butcher shop
I watched him while he chop
the sound echoes "Tak,Tak,Tak"
I feel as if his knife is dancing on my neck
I walked as if I run,
I wonder how people eat, the red meat
as if it is a bun
I called my daddy , "Come,Dad,Come"
He wondered with my shout as like a Scout
Where from, God send this girl!!
"Dad! How can they kill
with such a strong will
the hen, the fish and the goat
while they scream
with the beat on their throat
Don't they have any compassion?
Don't they feel sorry?"
Dad replied.
"Don't you agree plants have life?
Don't you cut vegetables with knife?
Those creatures can atleast scream
these vegetables which are green
also will cry in vain
unfortunately we couldn't hear the pain.
Isn't this violence?
Then How come the question of Benevolence?"
For a moment, I was silent.
I began to think,
What is the answer for my lament?
What to do not to be violent?
If God grants a boon,
that our hunger be satisfied
with air and water
so that people care for the Eco-charter
but what about the farmer?
Then I stop thinking for I realise
in the matter of violence
we shouldn't see everything with
magnifying lens
IT IS NOT GOOD TO QUESTION
FOR GOD NEVER DO THE THINGS
WITHOUT ANY REASON.

Boon from God.
One evening, I went to temple
along with my mother
to listen to preaches on God.
What I understood is,
God will visible
to those who wholeheartedly pray
God will answer
to those who determinedly question
God who is the Lord-Master
will become the servant
and work for the tenant
HE grants the boon
as possible as soon.
I, who have many a wish
decided to pray
to be granted with a boon.
For me,a girl of fertile imagination,
who have many a fascination,
God descended.
"My child,I can only grant you one.
so think on your own."
What to ask HIM?
Should I ask personal related
or about the family,or
to bring equality in the society,
to bring equal rights for woman,
or to wish for world peace
where the arms race cease.
to wish for the world
where woman can be respected
to wish for the world free of diseases,
to wish for good feelings in people
where everyone treats himself as
a world citizen and human.
My thoughts flow incessantly
while God is watching patiently.
For some time HE kept quite
to let me think in quiet.
For my difficulty to decide,
God laughed and said,
" Dear, Shall I grant you the best?"
I nodded my head feeling rest.
"I will provide you work
which you can love to do,
to which you can gladly ado.
which can enable you to get rid
of these thoughts and puts you in action
so that you can achieve the above
atleast in fraction and this is the sanction."

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the
sunrise.
Ah the beauty of God's creation is beyond
description.
As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful
work.
As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with
me.
He asked me,
"Do you love me?" I answered, "Of course, God!
You are my Lord and Savior!"
Then He asked, "If you were physically
handicapped, would you still love me?"
I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms,
legs and the rest
of my body and wondered how many things I
wouldn't; be able to
do, the things that I took for granted. And I
answered,
"It would be tough Lord, but I would still love You."
Then the Lord said,
"If you were blind, would you still love my creation?"
How could I love something without being able to see
it?
Then I thought of all the blind people in the world
and how many of them still loved God and His creation.
So I answered, "It's hard to think of it, but I would
still love you." The Lord then asked me, "If you were
deaf, would you still listen to my word?"
How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I
understood.
Listening to God's Word is not merely using our ears,
but our hearts. I answered,
"It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your
word."
The Lord then asked,
"If you were mute, would you still praise My
Name?"
How could I praise without a voice?
Then it occurred to me: God wants us to sing from
our very heart and soul.
It never matters what we sound like. And praising
God is not always with a song, but when we are
persecuted, we give God praise with our words of
thanks. So I answered, "Though I could not
physically sing, I would still praise Your Name."
And the Lord asked,
"Do you really love Me?" With courage and a strong
conviction, I answered boldly, " Yes Lord! I love You
because You are the one and true God!"
I thought I had answered well, but...
God asked,
"THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?"
I answered, "Because I am only human. I am not
perfect."
"THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE DO YOU STRAY THE
FURTHEST?
WHY ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY THE
EARNEST?"
No answers. Only tears.
The Lord continued:
"Why only sing at fellowships and retreats?
Why seek Me only in times of worship?
Why ask things so selfishly?
Why ask things so unfaithfully?"
The tears continued to roll down my cheeks.
"Why are you ashamed of Me?
Why are you not spreading the good news?
Why in times of persecution, you cry to others when I
offer My shoulder to cry on?
Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to
serve in My Name?"
I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give.
"You are blessed with life. I made you not to
throw this gift away.
I have blessed you with talents to serve Me, but you
continue to turn away.
I have revealed My Word to you, but you do not gain
in knowledge.
I have spoken to you but your ears were closed.
I have shown My blessings to you, but your eyes were
turned away.
I have sent you servants, but you sat idly by as they
were pushed away.
I have heard your prayers and I have answered them
all."
"DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME ?"
I could not answer. How could I? I was
embarrassed beyond belief.
I had no excuse. What could I say to this?
When my heart had cried out and the tears had flowed,
I said,
"Please forgive me Lord. I am unworthy to be Your
child."
The Lord answered, "That is My Grace, My Child." I
asked,
"Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do You
love me so?"
The Lord answered,
" Because you are My Creation. You are My
Child. I will never abandon you.
When you cry, I will have compassion
and cry with you.
When you shout with joy, I will laugh
with you.
When you are down, I will encourage
you.
When you fall, I will raise you up.
When you are tired, I will carry you.
I will be with you till the end of
days, and I will love you forever."
Never had I cried so hard before. How could I have
been so cold?
How could I have hurt God as I had done? I asked God,
"How much do You love me?"
The Lord stretched out His arms, and I saw His
nail-pierced hands. I bowed down at the feet of
god, my Savior. And for the first time, I truly
prayed.
Unknown.
This note is to everyone that's reading this.
This is something special, and it deserves to be
passed around.
Don't just read this and forget about it, use it in
your life.
Use God in your life. Remember always God loves US
all...
God
