God balances the books

Ask every financial advisor and planner out there and they will tell you the benefits of saving, investing, planning and looking towards the future. But sometimes we just need to go back to the basics of debits and credits. You have to at least have as much in the bank as you plan to take out. Books that are not balanced will lead to stress, frustration and overall imbalance. But what about our spiritual lives? We can never invest more into our walk with God than what God invests in our success. No matter how much we pray, those prayers are just deposits that God covers with his grace and love. But no matter what we do in the name of our God, it never is a balance towards what He does and gives us. But God is not keeping score with our lives. He just keeps giving and giving and pouring into us until we overflow. So we will always owe God, so to speak, yet He does not keep a set of books to see if we are giving as much as we get. Gods grace covers our shortfalls because He balances the books.
