## Resource

We love a good ledger. We check our bank accounts. We balance our schedules. We look at our portfolios, our smartwatches tracking our daily steps, and our social media feeds... We spend our days trading our time, our energy, our peace of mind, and sometimes even our integrity, to gain the whole world. But what if you get it all? What if you win the game? What if your bank account is overflowing, your possessions and achievements are beautiful, and everyone speaks well of you... but inside, your spirit is cold, and distant from God?
