Putting My Idol On The Altar

Meeting My Maker

My time had come to leave this earth. I took my last dying breath. I found myself standing on a cloud with a golden road that led up to a giant golden gate with precious pearls and jewels set in them. I noticed that there was someone waiting for me and was standing in the center, in between the two gates. It was Jesus Christ and it was His glorified body. He looked just like He did before when I first met Him in my dream. The glorious light hurt my eyes and He was so magnificent, even from a distance. I stumbled over to Him and fell at his feet. I wrapped my arms around His ankles and began to sob. I kissed His feet several times.

Jesus bent down low to the ground and put His index finger under my chin. He slowly lifted my head up and I was face-to-face with Him. My God.

My entire body was shaking, partly from feeling like a total failure in life, and also partly because I was before His mighty presence. I had a hard time speaking, but I managed to abruptly let out the words, "I have failed you so many times and my life could have been so much better. Please, show compassion and mercy on me!"

Jesus Christ began to show me visions of what my life could have been if I lived in a more Godly and pleasing manner to Him. I broke down crying at the things that I could have done, but failed because I made terrible decisions. There were so many things I missed out on in life and it broke my heart to see all of the possibilities before me.

When Christ showed me the very last vision of how I could have lived my life, I turned my head away from Him and began to sob into my arm. "I can't be here, Jesus. I don't deserve to be in Heaven after what I have done."

Jesus calmly called my name and told me to come closer to Him.

I struggled to pick myself up. I was so burdened with guilt and shame. I stood there trying to control my emotions.

Jesus took His hand and wiped the tears away from my eyes. The moment His hand touched my face, the tears stopped flowing. "Come with me and receive your crown my child," Christ commanded.

I followed Him through the gates and the moment I stepped foot inside, all regrets, remorse, and pain had left me. I had a new and glorified body and I was now perfect. I got down very low before Him and began to worship and praise Him.

Jesus Christ took a jeweled crown and placed it upon my head.

I looked up at Him and waited to hear the words that I so desperately craved to hear my whole entire life.

"Well done, good and faithful servant," He said.

I fell back down on my face and began to worship Him.

Jesus called out my name again. "I have another reward for you," He said.

I looked up and I saw that He was holding Rainbow Dash in His arms. He got down to my level and placed her in my arms.

I began to stutter. "Y-y-y-you saved her just for me?" I asked.

Jesus smiled and said, "I know how much you enjoy her. I have another surprise for you."

Suddenly, Applejack appeared from behind Jesus and then followed by Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. The ponies walked over to me and stood by my side.

Rainbow Dash leapt out of my arms and stood at my side. There were three ponies on my right, and three ponies on my left. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were the closest to my side. Rainbow Dash spoke up and said, "We were all created to worship and we will give praise to our Creator."

It was almost like it was right on que. All of the ponies and myself bowed down at the same time. No one was told to bow and we were all in perfect sync with each other.

I would be at peace here for all eternity and I would worship my Creator with my little pony friends by my side.

The end.
