One of the reasons we go through trials as believers, is so God can perfect our character. He wants to take the rough edges off because He's preparing us for judgement before Him. God will judge us according to what our deeds deserve and He wants to help us live our lives to their fullest potential. For the unsaved, this messed up world is the best they'll ever get, but for Christians...there's a future. Learning how to live your life with a godly mindset, despite what's going on around you, guarantees a great..reward.
