Ben.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the scalpel when others chose the sword.
When the world said the twins were one flesh and could not be divided, I placed the steadiness in your hand. I was there.
Your mother demanded two books a week to starve the anger in your blood.
I was writing the curriculum while she set the rules. Every report, every prayer, every suppressed rage was you 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.
Not to rule over the poor, but to unlock the potential I hid within 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 Ben Carson
