Recently I received news that someone I have known well in recent years has cancer. He may not have long to live. This man has spent much of his life in prison. In these years, he has spent much time mentoring young men to bring them to a better life, a new life, through The Lord.

God operates in and through all the places that there is great suffering and human need. Now that this man is making it through the latter days of his life, let him reflect on the love that God has bestowed on him, and thank God for the close relationship he now has with Him.

We are being called to operate in all the places, even outside our comfort zone, let us answer this call in whatever way we are able this day, and not leave it for another day that is “more convenient”. We can start with the people we work with each day.
