Ruminations on god

So... What I've always believed

God is all powerful all seeing all knowing 
He speaks to us we just need to listen to him and be led by him
We think of him before we do anything and pray to him he will protect us even from ourselves 
He loves us - so much that his love is everything 
Nothing moves without his power and grace
In him we trust in him we live
We are but his instruments - that is the sum of our desires 
We are all aspiring to reach him through our love and actions 
The soul is eternal 
Our children are his gifts 
We thank him everyday for everything
He knows what happens before it happens
We ask him to be there before us in everything 

Given all this - it shouldn't and doesn't matter the names we give god
It is pointless to fight over the supremacy of Vishnu Krishna Siva pillayar murugan / they are but facets if the eternal being who watches over us. I love them all. I feel profound affection for god in the form of pillayar for I grew up with him. It is comical to fret over loyalties to pillayar as I read about Krishna because they are all one!
