God can bring a greater good through some evil. But we can’t make evil things to bring greater good from it. Why?
 
God wants us to be happy, he values our soul the most, if we need to learn and grow, he will at time allow challenges. As per Mother Mary’s message, we are not happy because of sins.

Nothing good can come from doing evil on purpose. It is a terrible sin. We are supposed to love one another, be kind, share, etc… Self Denial, pick up our cross and follow Jesus.

If you live a challenge, carry your cross with dignity, faith and trust. Never commit evil

Because we are not G-d. It is not that G-d delights in evil so that He can turn it into good. Rather, G-d is able to make the best out of something that is not in itself good. It would be preferable if the evil caused by mankind did not exist, but it does, therefore…
 
Because we are not God 😃 (oops, someone already said it 😊)

Seriously, though, we are very good, but not in ourselves: we are good by an imperfect participation in God’s goodness. Since in God is the perfection and fullness of goodness, no evil (where evil is not an essence, but rather an imperfection in goodness) can stand, no more than a match can stay lit by falling in a swimming pool, or a forest fire remain lit after the entire Ocean is poured over it.

I agree. Give God anything to work with (or nothing for that matter) and He makes good out of it. Satan influences our viewpoint toward those good things, and perverts them to appear evil. And so we use them for evil and/or get sinful attachments to it.

So it’s like satan is in charge of the world, so when you go do the things you “have” to do to get by, you get dirty and then come home for rest from time to time – like on Sabbath or other time – so the God can renew you through the Holy Spirit aka the Divine Therapist and take your callouses and scars and convert them into mental, spiritual, and emotional healing and power.

Rom 8:28
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

Because we are not God, we don’t have the knowledge, understanding or power to even know what good is. We are made from dust, mere sinful mortals compared to an all-knowing powerful God.

God can turn sin into success. St Thomas Aquinas confirms that God reveals good through evil at times. The Bible also asks does this mean we should perform evil? Certainly not! Just love God!

Ok but if doing evil to bring goodness is a sin, then how come God, without sin, does it?

God does not do evil to bring goodness. He can take the evil that other imperfect creatures do and make goodness spring out of it.
