Merry Christmas, Superkids! The last few months have been life-changing, as you have begun to hear the voice of the Lord so clearly. Your identity begins to emerge when you hear Jesus speak.
We are His and He is ours! Jesus was promised to us before we were ever born.
In Isaiah 7:14, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, God promised that Jesus was coming when He said, “Behold…a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Immanuel means “God with us.” As you practice speaking to Him and listening to what He says to you, you become more and more like Him. Isn’t that an amazing way to go into 2023?
To end this year with our focus on Jesus, I want you to first open your heart to Him and send Him a Christmas greeting!
Ask your parents for some paper so you can create two Christmas cards—one to Jesus and one from Jesus.
I’m providing some words, and you will need to fill in the blanks yourself or ask someone to write down your words. Then, copy the greeting, including the words you filled in, and decorate your card to Jesus.
Your card to Jesus:
Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, Jesus!
You have been so good to me this year! You gave me ___________________ ________________ and You helped me with __________________________.
Every time I think about You, I feel (check all that apply)___safe, ___loved, ___happy ___at peace ___excited ___important and ____________(other).
I want to give You the BEST Christmas-Birthday gift I have. Jesus, I give You me. I love You more than ______________________________.
Love,
Cadet ______________
After you’ve done your card to Jesus, then…the really fun part!
Sit with Jesus as you fill out His card to you. As you read the card, hear Him saying it. I actually asked Him what He wanted to say to you. As you come to a blank line, fill in the first word you hear Him say. After you’ve finished, write those words on your second sheet of paper, then decorate it.
OK, let’s go!
Jesus’ card to you:
Merry Christmas, Cadet __________!
Thank you for the gift of you!
It’s the most _____________ gift you could bring to Me.
I make you a promise: I not only gave you My life on the Cross, I am giving you My life every day. Look for Me—you will find Me.
Talk to Me, I’m listening.
When you hurt, I will ____________________________. When you need something, I will _______________________________________.

See? He is really here! And He really loves you. Every time you hear His voice, your heart believes He is real.
