balance

At lunch, I was balancing my checkbook. I am very meticulous about this task. I actually enjoy doing it, even when there isn’t much to balance!! As I was adding and subtracting and penciling things in, I asked myself if my life was as in balance as my checkbook. I have lots of things going, but does it all balance out? When I really began to evaluate, it seems that I take a lot more from God than I give back. Sometimes I even convince myself that by going to church and teaching Sunday school, I am giving back enough. But the truth is, that isn’t enough. God doesn’t keep a record of how often we attend church He wants more than church attendance and classes taught. He wants EVERYTHING. Every bit of my heart. He wants my heart as I play with my sweet girls. He wants my heart as I talk to my handsome husband. He wants my heart as I certify food stamp cases, and eat lunch. He wants my heart when I work out. He wants my everything. Is your life in balance today? Mine sure wasn’t. But good news…..He still loves me!! And he said, “Little one, you can try again! I am here and I am not going anywhere.” Good thing!! Today, my prayer for my heart and yours is that we give it ALL to Jesus, for if we do our lives will never be out of balance….
