Sin -> “absence of love”
Sin is a man-made word with threat connotations he made up himself. No real threat is involved anywhere. Just because “nature abhors a vacuum,” which is true enough, it does not follow that a vacuum is filled with hellfire. Nothing is gained by frightening yourself, and it’s very destructive. Miracles need freedom from fear. Part of the Atonement value involves just that. The word “atone” really means “undo.” ABSENCE from FELICITY Page 229
The reason I direct
everything that is unimportant is because it is no way to waste your free will. If you insist on
doing the trivial your way, you waste too much time and will on it. Will cannot
be free if it is tied up in trivia. It never gets out.
I will tell you exactly what do in connection
with everything that does not matter. That is not an area where choice should
be invested. There is a better use of time.
You have to
remember to ask Me to take charge of all minutiae, and they will be taken care
of so well and so quickly that you cannot bog down in it.
The only remaining
problem is that you will be unwilling to ask because you are afraid not to be bogged down. Do not let
this hold you back. If you will ask, I can arrange these things even if you are not too enthusiastic.
Prayer can be very
specific in little matters. If you need a coat, ask me where to find one. I
know your taste well, and I also know where the coat is that you would
eventually buy any way. ABSENCE from FELICITY Page 231 (Although this last part is specific
to Helen S think of your own relationship with J or the Holy Spirit and how
many times do you specifically ask for help. Also, do you waste time watching television or playing
games. )
