Authentically Known and Loved | January Blog

In this season, God is inviting us to return to what is true. Not to strive or reinvent ourselves, but to realign with who He created us to be. 2026 is a year of discovery, and January sets the foundation, reminding us that we are fully known, deeply loved, and intentionally formed. God is calling His people back to authentic identity, to live from truth rather than pressure, and to walk forward with confidence rooted in Him.

I hear God asking us to look up again. Not with fear. Not with uncertainty. But with the quiet confidence of someone who knows they are seen.

Beneath a vast sky stands a girl. She is full of wonder and big dreams, believing that she was created for something greater. Before the world told her who she could or couldn’t be. Before pressure shaped her choices. Before fear softened her voice. She reminds us of who we were before life taught us to shrink. Before we learned to measure ourselves by comparison or performance. Before we questioned whether we were too much or enough.

I believe God is calling us back to that place, or to discover it for the first time. To remember that He formed us with intention. That He sees us fully. That our lives are not accidental or overlooked. That He loves us just the way we are. Nothing more. Nothing  less. 

This season is an invitation to realign with who God created us to be. To lift our eyes, steady our hearts, and move forward with confidence.

God’s knowledge of us goes far beyond what we can see or imagine. He knows every part of our story, the visible and the hidden. And He calls us His. To be fully known by God is not something to fear, but is a place of deep safety. When we allow ourselves to be known by Him, the need to perform begins to fall away.

God sees us completely. He understands our motives, our fears, our hopes. And He loves us without hesitation or conditions. When we live from this truth, something shifts. We stop striving. We stop proving. We begin to walk in peace. Being known by God is the foundation of freedom and spiritual stability.

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3

So much pressure comes from trying to meet expectations, whether our own or from others. We begin filtering ourselves, second-guessing our decisions, and questioning whether we’re doing enough or being enough. But God never asked us to live from pressure. He calls us to live from identity.

When we are anchored in who He says we are, fear loses its grip. We stop making decisions based on approval and start walking in clarity. We stop shrinking and start standing firm. Trusting God brings stability. Trusting God brings peace. Trusting God allows us to move forward without fear of being misunderstood. This is a season to release the need to prove yourself and step fully into alignment with truth.

Refined With Purpose

Refinement is not punishment, it is preparation. Silver is refined slowly and intentionally. It is heated just enough to remove what doesn’t belong, leaving behind what is strong and pure. God works in us the same way. He is not rushing your growth. He is not frustrated with your progress. He is patiently shaping what He has already placed within you.

This new year and next season is not about striving harder. It is about becoming steadier.

More grounded. More rooted in truth. It is moving at the pace of peace. God is refining you so that His character and strength can shine through you.

This year is not about doing more. It is about standing firm. Anchored in who you are because you know Whose you are. Because God goes before you. He walks beside you. He is strengthening you for what’s ahead. God is inviting you to step into this year with new confidence, trusting that His presence is enough and His timing is perfect.

You are known.

We believe the prophetic is meant to build up and bring clarity, and that not every word will resonate with every person — but if something speaks to you, we encourage you to hold onto it. And if it’s meant for someone else, feel free to pass it along.

We also believe in the power of declarations. Speaking truth aligns our hearts with God’s promises and helps anchor us in what He is doing. If this message blesses you, we’d love to hear how God is working in your life. You can share your story with us anytime at: hello@thecrowningjewels.com.
