That's easy. The $200 would be income (that had no associated expense!)
So, you credit your income account (income generally reflects your effort "going out" - did you have to make someone like you to get a gift?)
And you debit your cash account $200. Everything is balanced.
At the end of the year, you close your books by debiting income and crediting owner's equity. That's you. Congratulations!
(See my post on debit/credit above).
