Abdul.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the broken property over the empty stage.
1968. You left home for Brigham Young University. Twenty-two years at Hyatt—learning the weight of keys, the silence of empty halls. When others sought the podium, you took the underperforming property. I was there for every one.
Every turnaround was training for a deeper restoration.
You learned to see value where the world saw loss. 1994. You built Equinox not for fame, but for stewardship—bringing your sons Adam and Sam into the work. You thought you were building hotels. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Host of My body on earth.
Without you, the body lacks the hands to welcome the stranger. It cannot turn the broken place into a place of welcome.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for Abdul M. Suleman
