The Guilts of Every Soul

They guilts of every soul are deeply hidden within, carrying an unconceivably needless weight... and yet nobody is willing to get of it by shunning sin; they would rather conceal it and live with it. Only God sees the guilts of every soul; we may look righteous to others and get undeserved praise, but to Him we are an obdomation of evil, which without repentance, as He promised, He will not erase! I have my guilts and bowing in regret, I let them all come out of darkness to meet His glorious face; and if I am to live in humbleness and grace, I must get rid of them and stand erect! So continue defying the forces of goodness, and find yourself alone unable to overcome your emptiness; friends will extend their hand, but pride will keep it from touching yours, and forever you will grieve and weep. Let the Heavenly waters wash all your guilts away, be cleansed and please Him always without feeling hopeless and unworthy, without attempting to remove them yourself with vain effort... I stand at the river of salvation, not remembering sin,vanity, pain and hurt.
