Dear Milo,
Confuse her. She has been reading about “faith and works,” yuck. The very phrase makes me gag. I want you to confuse her understanding of this concept, and make her worry that she does not have enough of one or the other. Make her wonder how the Enemy could love her if she doesn’t have enough faith, and by the same token how He could love her if she doesn’t have enough works. Unfortunately, she already knows that her salvation doesn’t depend on those things, but we can make her time here on earth more agonizing if we make her feel like she always has to measure up to some amount of faith or works. The trick is to ensure that “amount” is ambiguous, and continuously make her feel guilt about whatever amount she has
