Elise.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
I saw you in the quiet hours between the closing of a Cherry Hills deed and the morning board meeting at the Cancer League, where you chose to uphold your mother's legacy not as a shadow, but as a living foundation for others to stand upon.
I was there for every one.
Every year you have stood as the First Vice President since 2009, and every decade you have stewarded the Marks name within Kentwood, was My hand fitting you with the patience required to anchor a community rather than merely transact within it.
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 Steward of My body on earth.
You were shaped to be the keeper of the gate who ensures that the heritage of the past becomes the stable ground for the future of My people. 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 Elise Marks Gruitch
