Romans 8:28-29
So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
For this reason, we can trust and be convinced that EVERYTHING in our lives will work together for our good. This seems like something of an allusion to Jeremiah 29:11 to me... Remember, though, it hinges on our being conformed into the likeness of Jesus through faith and obedience to the will of God, rather than trying to force our own way. When we give our way up, God will give us His way, His desires, and His plan for us, and fulfill it all in His way. That is what this whole chapter has been about so far.
