Sin-engendered GUILT-
Purifier of the soul
marred by wounds and scars.
You sin. Sooner or later, guilt is born. It grows. It tortures. Engulfs you into its darkness. Plunges you into despondency. Makes you feel disgusted with yourself. And the fact that you, and only you, are responsible for the sins you have committed adds to the misery. You have nowhere to go. You are helpless.
For such times of torment, God has bestowed upon us the blessing of Repentance. Yes! This is the only way you can bask in peace again. Shed tears. Plead for His mercy. Beg for His forgiveness.
The consequence of your sincere repentance is something very beautiful - Purification of your soul.
As you are repenting out of guilt, your soul is being cleansed of the marks left by your sins.
Guilt is the worst feeling but it has the best effect.
A PURE SOUL.
