Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servant

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
When I leave this life, I shall go to my Father in Heaven. I shall kneel at his feet, and plead not for mercy, but worship Him for the mercy He has already given me. I shall thank Him for His kindness. I shall honor Him for His guidance which was given to me in this life.
I shall kneel at the feet of Christ with clean hands and a heart full of love. I shall thank Him for the inspiration His life was to me. I shall honor Him for His great plan of happiness. I shall thank Him for His atonement, which He performed for all the worlds.
I shall greet the Holy Spirit, and thank him for comforting me when I was sad, guiding me when I was lost, and helping me to serve when I had abundance.
Then I shall stand before the judgment bar of God, with clean hands and a pure heart, and with peace shall speak my case to my Father as to why I belong with Him. We'll review my life. And at the end, I only want one thing.
I want my Father to wrap me up in a hug, and quietly speak these words.
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
I want to leave this life knowing that I have done all I can do to glorify God, and I'm going to do it too. I will not be idle. God made me to do great things, and I'm going to do them. The Devil cannot stop me, and nobody stronger than he is trying to stop me, so I'm in good shape. I've still got a long life to live. I have a lot of people to help. A lot of opportunities to love and serve.
I am going to change the world.

One day... I really am going to leave this life.
When I leave, feel nothing but joy in my passing, for I am going to be with God.
And one day... He really will wrap me up in His arms.
And He really will speak such words to me.
"Well done, my son. Sit for a moment. Rest. What a marvelous effort you gave in that life.
Welcome home."
