Can I Count?

I've been listening to Andrew Wommack - Be Thankful. Sounds ghastly, I know, but it's rather good. In it he tells a story of meeting a woman struggling with divorce and loneliness. He asks her if she knows if she is saved. She replies that she is not. He asks if she knows she will go to hell for eternity if she dies tonight. She replies that she does. So why are you worrying about your marriage, he asks. If we can count right then every trouble, trial or challenge is of great value if it is in pursuit of God and every bit of wealth, security or certainty is of no value if it takes us away from him. When I find giving up stuff a burden it's because I cannot add up right. In reality it's a blessing because God is no man's debtor, now or in eternity. This feels like an answer to the last plog already. Thanks.
