As the year draws to a close, there’s a warmth in the air—a glow of love that seems to blanket everything. Perhaps it’s the magic of Christmas, a season that embodies love in its purest form. Christmas reminds us that God is love, and those who dwell in love know God intimately.

The gift of love isn’t just something we give or receive; it’s something we feel deeply. And I’ve come to understand that this feeling blossoms when we sit in the presence of God. In those moments, even in the midst of pain, His love pours into us like a healing balm. Through this connection, we are filled with a divine confidence, a belief in the beauty of life, and a hope that all things will work together for good.

Today, I feel this love radiating within me, lifting my spirit and filling me with optimism for what lies ahead. I look toward 2025 with open arms, confident that it will be a year of blessings, growth, and joy. This positivity, I’ve realized, is born from love—a love that is rooted in the Lord and spills over into every corner of my life.

And so, this morning, I feel like the well-loved woman.

The well-loved woman is radiant because she is saturated with love—love for God, for herself, and for the world around her. She doesn’t merely go through the motions of life; she is in love with life itself. She delights in her family, savors the meals she prepares, and finds joy in the small, quiet moments. She lives with passion, seeing beauty even in the mundane.

A woman who lacks love loses a part of her essence, for love is the fuel of her existence. To be well-loved is not just to be cherished by others, but to dwell in love herself. This love flows from God and touches every part of her being, radiating outward in kindness, positivity, and hope.

The well-loved woman is not shaken by the negativity of the world around her. She understands that others’ struggles are not hers to carry. Instead, she continues to shine with hope, trusting that God will make all things beautiful in His time.

When a woman feels loved—truly loved—she becomes a light in the world. She exudes joy, peace, and optimism, lifting others with her words and presence. She becomes a reflection of God’s love, a living testament to the beauty that comes from dwelling in His grace.

So, as we step into a new year, may we all aspire to be well-loved women: women who are in love with life, overflowing with God’s love, and spreading that love to everyone we meet. For a well-loved woman is a beautiful woman—and her beauty is the love of God shining through her.
