Betsy.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the Shephelah over the comfort of the system.
From Holland Christian halls to the Cabinet in Washington. Decades of committees. The Alliance for School Choice. You stood to confront the culture. I was there for every one.
Every battle for the child was preparation.
The weight of the Cabinet. The scrutiny. Decades of philanthropy motivated by faith. You thought you were confronting culture. 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 Architect of My body on earth.
Without you, the body cannot build systems of freedom. It cannot restore the parent's place.
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 Betsy DeVos
