Reservation

“Wait! I’m not supposed to be here. No way. There’s been a mistake!
“There is no mistake. This spot was reserved for you. It has your name on it.”
“No, you don’t understand”.
“Excuse me? Care to explain yourself?”
“I was good. I prayed. I went to church. I even gave money to the needy. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, that is correct,” God affirmed. “And your point being?”
“My point being I was good. In fact, very good. I never…”
“You never what? Missed prayers? Missed fasting?"
“Yes, yes exactly!”
“You still don’t get it, do you?” God told me.
