Where Guilt Abounds

Guilt vile, caustic tainting, degrading, crushing stain, burden, gift, merit purifying, uplifting, liberating undeserved, salvic Grace Eileen Manassian Ghali PS...the adjective salvic comes from the noun salve, an anointment used to clear eye infections. I'm not sure if the word exists, but in my mind, I understand it to mean something that clears the vision and lets you see what truly matters, as is mentioned in the book of Revelation. The Laodiceans needed eye salve to clear their vision. Grace does that for us. Romans 5: 20- "But where sin increased, grace increased all the more."

I simply love how God's Grace connects to each word...it's undeserved, it uplifts us, liberates us, clears away guilt, stains, burdens...and so on and so on...As always good job!!! MC

Mr Seal.....for sin to be forgiven, there must be confession...however, we do differ in our understand of who confession is made to. Paul makes it very clear that Christ is our high priest and He lives to make intercession for us. There is no need for a go between. Hmmmmmmm...You were being cheeky, weren't you! I never know!

If it moves to grace...stay there. Life does not allow such luxuries otherwise. We put it on ourselves. May we shine through the rain. Fantastic work.

Yes...thank you! Our understand of grace prompts repentance....Actually, every good thing, every good impulse, even the desire to repent, is a gift of grace. Thanks

Thanks, Dr Ram. I was undecided about which one to enter. Would you be so kind as to go through my older work and locate Diamante Delight? I like that one as well...I first entered that, then deleted it and entered this..... :( Yes, I'm confused!
