Chris.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the silent ledger over the public podium.
Security Bancorp. Six subsidiary banks. A fellowship for twenty students annually at the Library of Congress. I was there for every quiet entry.
Every audit you signed was preparation.
The precision of KPMG. The risk of founding Patriot Bank. The patience of Tennessee Tractor. You thought you were securing assets. 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 body cannot steward the resources entrusted to it. It cannot fund the fellowship. It cannot preserve what lasts.
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 Chris & Kim Nunn
