Dick.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the child's future over the governor's seat.
When the ballots were counted in 2006, you returned to the quiet work of freedom. Four thousand scholarships. The West Michigan Aviation Academy. I was there for every one.
The weight of the family name was preparation.
You carried the Amway presidency from 1993 to 2002. You tripled international sales before the world knew your own voice. You thought you were securing an empire. 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 Bridge of My body on earth.
Without you, the child remains locked out of truth. The family cannot choose. The body cannot grow in wisdom.
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 Dick DeVos
