Psalm 34:22 says: The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. 
 
I saw Kevin as a true servant with a servant’s heart.  He loved to serve at the Macomb County Jail and hardly ever said no to an invitation to take a service or visit with an inmate one on one.  Kevin exemplified John 12:26; “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”  How does He do that?  By redeeming their souls!
 
The secular mind will never understand or accept this call, the call to servanthood.  Kevin not only understood it, but he fulfilled the call.
 
A servant is one who accepts and acknowledges a place beneath those who He serves, one who is willing to forsake what the “system” says about social status and values.  Kevin made no nevermind about social status and the world’s standard of values, he was willing to place himself beneath those who he served.  Jesus placed Himself right alongside the least of these, as He stated:  “When I was in prison, you visited me…”
 
Kevin not only considered it a privilege and an honor to minister at the Macomb County Jail, he also considered it an opportunity where he could be close to his Savior.  “Where I am, there my servant will be also.”
 
Every true servant will ultimately be honored by the One they serve and who has promised them honor for that service!
 
If we serve our King in that act of service we are elevated to a place of honor, “…him my Father will honor…”  Kevin could not be in a better place of honor than where he is now.  In the presence of the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Savior, Jesus Christ for all of eternity.
 
In His Service,
