He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3
My chaplain is a man of God who shepherds the flock that's behind these walls...
and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3
My chaplain is a man of God who shepherds the flock that's behind these walls...
He is a law-abiding citizen, a former probation officer, a former pastor and youth pastor, and is presently employed as a full-time minister at a correctional facility.
In addition, he and his wife have children who are now adults themselves; he's also a grandfather.
It's ironic, however, that such an honest individual, not to mention being well-educated and having a degree, has dedicated his life to helping convicted felons and their families. This is the compassion of Christ. As my chaplain would gladly tell anyone who asks, it was the Lord whom he believes led him to do what he's doing today. He could have been a pastor of a well-heeled congregation in the suburbs. Instead, he's chosen to live among the men whom society hates.
Yet I, too, believe the Lord has sent this man to help us become better persons and good Christians. And Jesus does work through benevolent individuals like him so as to demonstrate His tender care to those who have godly sorrow for their sins and want to see their lives be put back together.
In my opinion, the Lord places the right people in the right places so that those with broken hearts can be healed and restored.
