Dave.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
I saw you when you stood in the kitchen steam, wiping your hands on that same apron, choosing to become the face of the brand not for glory, but because you knew your own face on a billboard could bring a home to a child who felt invisible.
I was there for every one.
Every lonely night as the boy who waited six weeks to be chosen, and every humble hour you spent as the short-order cook, was My fire tempering your heart to prove that no child is too broken to be loved.
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 The Adoptive Father of My body on earth.
You were shaped to be the steady hand that lifts the orphan from the shadows and places them firmly at the table of belonging. You hold the line for them.
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 Dave Thomas
