I'm Sorry My Son

"I'm Sorry, my son," Were his last words to me. As I ventured down the corridor of the Judgement Hall totally alone, His Eternally Loving Arm having left my shoulders, I began to weep, complaining "UNFAIR!" as I took my place with those like me, those who had been given much even as I had and had not tried "Quite hard enough" It amazed me however sorrowfully, that I was in the company of Stake Presidents, Mission Presidents, Bishops, and numberless concourses of High Councilmen. All of us Alike with no families, not even hope of being Eternally rejoined with our loved ones... Alone in the telestial Kingdom... As Heavenly Father walked me through the Celetial Kingdom, I met Adam... Moses... David... Elijah John the Beloved... The Three Nephites... Moroni... Alma the Younger...  The Brother of Jared... Mary, Joseph Smith Jr... and then lastly the Savior asked me "Why?" "You had every opportunity... You were chosen to hold my priesthood... You were valiant in the first estate Yet Now... You've Failed... I LOVE YOU... MORE THAN YOU'LL NOW  EVER BE ABLE TO KNOW" Brother Joseph  merely shook his head in loving disbelief... We walked through the Terrestrial Kingdom, and I beheld Glory describable only by him who reigns on high, and He let me suffer alone, for I was undeniably deserving thereof... Eternities literally passed before my eyes as he led me to my eternal palace, and though more resplendent than any I've ever seen, It was literal Hell, for I then truly recognized what might have been... As we reached my final reward, He released His Arm from my shoulder the last time I would every truly rejoice in Him, Who Reigns on High... Then His last words as he released His Arm "I'm Sorry my son..."
