For one thing, He helps us focus the rest of our life on the things that really matter. Everything in our lives goes in one of two columns - the stuff that matters and the stuff that doesn't. And a lot of times we get those confused, don't we? The times of struggle and loss help us get everything in the right columns. So many people emerge from the fire more committed to the eternal than they ever were before.
