And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them, who are called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28).
God works out all things-not just isolated incidents, for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but God is able to turn it around for our long-range good. Note that God is not working to make us happy, but to fulfill his purpose. Note also that this promise is not for everybody, it can be claimed only by those who love God and are fitting into God's plans. Such people have a new perspective, a new mindset on life. They trust God, not life treasures; they look to their security in heaven, not on earth, they learn .to accept pain and persecution on earth, not resent it, because it brings them closer to God.
