Taken in context, Romans 8:28-29 seems to be saying that the good that God works toward by manipulating all things that beset us, is not that we get our selfish pleasure but that we end up conformed to the image of Christ. If that disappoints you a little; you havent thought it through. To be like Christ is something far more wondrous that any cheap thrills you might originally have had in mind. To be like Christ is to be filled with the fruit of the Spirit love, peace, goodness, self-control, and so on. Thats thrilling, but theres more. To be like Christ is to be not just dignified but regal, not just powerful but ruling from heavens throne, not just smart but having access to divine wisdom, not just attractive but radiant with unsurpassable inner beauty, not just morally upright but perfect in the piercing eyes of humanitys holy Judge, not just happy but overflowing with inexpressible joy, not just youthful but eternal, not just sympathetic but empowered to transform lives.
