So you had no expectations and no disappointment that things didn't go the way you saw would be best.
Your whole point here was that nature seems to take it's course whatever, and why factor in God.
It rains equally on the righteous and unrighteous.
This is a fundamental truth of Christianity. The point is the positivity of the viewpoint. Not the material riches to be gained, but the life to be gained for yourself from that selflessness.
You maintain selflessness, which enriches your life. <--- this is the kind of reasoning I refer to that leads me to faith.

What do you believe in, really--fr0d0?
I don't have faith in the bible. I don't believe it's infallible. I hope I'm not splitting hairs. Muslims believe the Quran to be the written word of Allah. Christians don't believe the bible to be the written word of God. We believe it to be inspired by God and revelation of his nature.
I have faith in God. My beliefs mirror those of the Salvation Army.
