David.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the scripture on the studs over the applause of the world.
From the Tampa office you opened in 1982 to the Cottages of Hope you built in Florida, you refused to separate the boardroom from the altar. You wrote verses on the wooden studs where the world only saw framing. I was there for every one.
The stewardship you guarded was preparation.
For twenty-seven years as CEO, you carried the weight of thirty thousand placements annually while guarding a witness that profit was not the end. You thought you were building a staffing firm. 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 Steward of My body on earth.
Without you, the CEOs have no iron to sharpen them. The marketplace loses its witness that wealth is a tool, not a trophy.
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 David L. Dunkel
