According to a story, Pope Francis arrived in New York for a visit. As he came out of the airport, he told the limousine driver: "Hello, back in Rome, I am not allowed to drive. So can I drive here a little?"
The limo driver said, "Your Holiness, I don't think that's a good idea"
But the pope insisted and the limo driver finally yielded. So the pope got into the driver's seat and the driver went to the passenger seat behind. As they entered the freeway the pope began to press down the pedal racing to a speed of 120 miles per hour. The driver from behind pleaded, "Your Holiness, please don't go that fast; it's too dangerous." Soon the pope reached a speed of about 140 miles per hour.
Momentarily he was pulled over by a highway patrol officer. The officer went and had a look at the driver's seat and got a shock. So he went and radioed his boss, "Sir, there's a big problem here. I caught a man driving at a speed of 140 miles!"
"Give him a ticket," said the boss. "No, we can't do that; there is a very important person in the limo!"
"Who is he, the mayor of New York?"
"No, someone more important !"
"Is it the governor?'
"No, someone more important!'
"Is he the president?
"No, someone even more important ! "
"Tell me, who the hell is he?"
"I think it is God Himself, because he has the Pope as the driver!'
You may be just doing your work or an extended hobby. But people might find comfort and hope and recognize you as their leader and master.
Believe in God who needs you at the front to lead the world.
