Operating Your Bank Account in Heaven

When last did you deposit or withdraw from your account in heaven? Many Christian believers’ accounts in heaven are dormant; some are empty, while others are not empty but without transactions. However, there are some accounts in heaven that are very active, their owners deposit and withdraw steadily. Which category do you belong to?
