Summary: God ensures all events benefit those who love Him, shaping them to resemble His Son, calling, justifying, and glorifying them as part of His divine plan.
Brothers and sisters:
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.
