Through her ministry and as "Commander Kellie," she ful lls the mission of drawing people of all ages into a personal, growing and powerful relationship with Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas, Superkids! We have every reason to be full of peace, love, joy and hope. We celebrate God's love that sent the Son He loved, Jesus, to the earth. Because Jesus was born, lived and died on the cross for us, we can live the Ephesians life we have been learning about. To be one with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; to have His creative genius living in us; and to be on His team is the greatest gift we could ever have! So, we can have more than a merry Christmas. No matter where you live or how good or dif cult life may be, you can have a JOY- lled Christmas. All because we have the FATHER who loves us, the SAVIOR who gave His life for us, and the HOLY SPIRIT who connects us to every word they speak and all the gifts that heaven holds for us. Healing, wisdom, peace and protection are just a few examples of God's gifts to us. Have you ever thought about how long God had planned for Jesus to be the Savior before He was actually born? There are over 300 verses in the Old Testament that tell of the Messiah (Jesus), starting with Genesis 3:15! When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, there was already a plan in place to save them, and us, from sin. A price had to be paid for God to get what He wanted. First Peter 1:19 says that YOU were purchased with the precious blood of Jesus! You are that valuable to the Father! Verse 20 in the Amplifi ed Bible, Classic Edition, says, "It is true that He was chosen and foreordained (destined and foreknown for it) before the foundation of the world, but He was brought out to public view (made manifest) in these last days (at the end of the times) for the sake of you." Brought into public view means "to make known, or seen." There was always a plan! Jesus was chosen to go to the cross and be our Savior and Shepherd BEFORE the creation of the world. He was introduced to mankind thousands of years ago in a stable in Bethlehem. The star that shone above the stable Him IN FULL!

You are living your life worthy of Him because you walk with Him. Don't be discouraged ® was a sign that directed the shepherds where to nd Him—the One who had been foretold since before the beginning of time. We have spent all year pressing into the secret plan of God. The Apostle Paul calls it a mystery. As we end this year, let's look again at Ephesians 4:13, the nal scripture from my last letter to you. It needs to catch our full attention like the Christmas star caught the attention of the shepherds. "These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and nally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ" (The Passion Translation). You know what I see in this scripture, Superkid? Just like Jesus was the Father's plan to show His love to people and make it possible to come to Him, we are Jesus' plan for people to come to Him! Just like that star, we are becoming full of the light of Jesus Christ, as we choose to let Him lead us into the fullness of Himself. Ephesians is showing us that we are an important part of the plan. We are part of the team and the light that points to Jesus! As you celebrate Christmas this year, I hope you'll take the time to talk to Jesus about what plans He has for you, what gifts He has given you, and what makes you special on the team. He has offered us the opportunity to experience Stars That Light the Way star wherever I go. And I will tell people about Your great love. In Jesus' Name. Amen! This Christmas when you see the Christ child in the manger, the star of Bethlehem, and the gifts under the tree, remember that He was given to us.
