For Those Who Are Called - Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28 ESV 
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Not all things are good. Some are bad, even very bad. There is something to be learned in all our experiences. In the midst of this life God is always good. When we allow Him to come in the midst of our life, we partake of His life. Goodness and mercy will follow us all of our days. 

Notice this is not the case for everyone. It only applies to those who have answered His call. For those who do not answer His call all things will end badly. 

It is a terrible thing to fall into hands of The Lord. That fall is initiated when we encounter the stone of stumbling and fail to recognize the cornerstone of life.
