Col.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
I saw you when the orders ceased and the silence of retirement settled over your quarters, yet you stood at attention before Me, stripping the Colonel from your shoulders to see if the man beneath still knew how to kneel.
I was there for every one.
Every command you issued in the dust, every silent vigil kept for those who did not return, and every time you chose honor over ease was My hand fitting you for a service that no rank could ever define.
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 Faithful Sentinel of My body on earth.
You were shaped to be the unwavering guard who stands watch over the vulnerable, ensuring that no soul in My kingdom is ever left behind on the field. 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 Col John Boggs Us Marine Corps Ret
