Are you clergy?

I was asked by a fan in St. Pete as I walked through the paddock area if I was clergy and if I could take a prayer request for someone. I said sure! He proceeded to tell me about a woman that has in-operable cancer and will die soon. I wrote down her name and asked him how he knew her. He said, "She is my wife".

I asked if I could pray with him. He agreed. As I prayed for her healing either here on earth or when she reaches heaven, he began to cry. As I ended my prayer, he gave a bear hug with tears flowing. I whispered in his ear, "It will be OK. And if you have faith in Christ, you will see her again". As we parted ways, he was still crying at his impending earthly loss.

We are all "clergy". It does not have to say "ministry" on your shirt to share the love and hope of Christ. Go ye therefore...
