Chris.
Our life on this Earth may be full of different experiences that God has allowed in our lives in order that our Faith and Christian character may grow. We should remember, however, that our life on this Earth is temporary and that God is preparing us for Eternity. We should, if we are True Believers, follow the injunction of Scriptures that we maintain Holiness in our body and spirit thereby glorifying God.
