Guilt vs Guard

In this life filled with the flesh Satin has used Guilt a number of times to keep me down about myself and my sin. All the while keeping me from having any victory over that sin. Yet my guilt also serves to remind me of my faults and to help me keep my guard up against what gave me reason to guilt. It seems to be a hard balance between having my guard up to keep from sinning but to not be lost in guilt. Shame is not of the lord, He has forgiven and forgotten and He want to see victory in my life and a continual progression to Christ likeness. Satin though wants me lost in my self pity and guilt. Is 6: "See this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for!" (emph. added) O lord Jesus thank you for being the coal that has touched my lips, may I have joy for my guilt is taken away and my sin is atoned for.

Absolute truth?

I have recently been challenged to rethink all the things I have been thinking are Absolute truth. I think I have spent a lot of my life living as if there are many more absolutes that there really are simply becaue someone told me they were. From God's word there are some fairly clear ones but there are may others that I think are from us(man) that really are not in there. May be you would take a minust and add your thoughts. What do you think is Absolute truth????
