Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read Luke 10:30-35 which is the story of the Good Samaritan. "Today I wanted to continue the thought love must be sincere. But I wanted us to read one of my favorite teachings from Jesus himself. In life, it's easy to become numb to the pain our brothers and sisters experience every day. Let's once again blame this on the self-serving society we live in, but I think this parable and his teachings can still be applicable today. I love how He gives us three differ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Romans 12:9-13 which says, "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual passion, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality." "Don't get me wrong, opinions are healthy. God gave us free will so that we can exerci...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 19:1. I pray today we all commit our works to the Glory of God. "But it also reminds me that we all work with our hands. Some of us are creators and others of us work with people, and some of us children. Whatever you do, my prayer is that our work can proclaim the glory of God. May people see Him in us. May they look what you create and think to themselves, wow that person is blessed. Or wow, she/he is devoted to God. His love for you and all...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 55:22. "Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." "...Here I am just a few days later in the middle of the summer in Miami FL with broken AC. This is the result of technicians putting a series of bandaids over a serious problem, costing more money in the long run rather than replacing the system in the home. This is a real life reminder that sometimes the systems we have in plac...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 138:8 You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me! Since your love for me is constant and endless, I ask you, Lord, to finish every good thing that you’ve begun in me! "We can rest assured that His love for us is constant and endless. He promises to finishes all of the good things He's begun in us. It makes me excited to enter new chapters. It means the outcome may not be exactly how you may imagine, but it's definitely an outcome God intended...

Brought to you by Shanna Alonge and Alison Elizabeth, today we are reading out of 1 Peter 5:6. We are encouraged to lean on God to pull us out of sadness. "We can do three things to get out of sadness. We can one, remember He is all knowing. Two, know that He is for us, and three - look back on the past and see how he's brought us out of our struggle."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we dive into 1 Peter 3:3-4 and look to our inner selves for a reference of beauty. What does God truly find beautiful? "The problem is, social media has gotten us in the habit of looking better for our photos than for the occasion itself. This culture has bred an environment of comparison. We look at other people's “after” photos from their weight loss journey and we forget there are an extremely hard journey for that person to get there. We have to stop this compar...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read through 2 Corinthians 12:9 and we lean on God when we have had a long week or are in the middle of a tough season. "But how many of us know that is the worst thing we can do for our cars. Running low on gas is not a good quality, it effects the life of the car. One time? No big deal, but prolonged neglect of putting gas in your car can cost you a lot of money in repairs down the line. The same thing happens to us. When we run on empty, we stop praying, we s...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 34:10 and look to scripture to fill us with the validation we all so desire. "The same thing happens to me when I eat a bag of chips. Somehow my body can fit 50 chips yet I am still hungry once I hit the bottom of the bag. Why? Well because although I am eating I lack nutrition. The same thing happens to our spirit when we go looking for validation on social media. We are filled with love but still running on empty. No substance in this world...

Today's devotional is brought to you by Steven Samper. Join us as we read through Isiah 40:31. "So the next time you’re in the middle of that storm, instead of falling to your knees to weep about the battle...fall to your knees and declare that the battle has already been won because God is a good good father and does not forsake His people. The same God that is with us in the mountaintop will surely meet us when we’re in the deepest of valleys. He will place us on wings to lift us up, soar hig...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read Romans 5:3-5 and we look to the importance of alone time with Jesus. "In the last few years cellphones have become our lifeline of connection. Check your screen time, and just see how many hours your spend on there. It's how you communicate with your family, friend, and strangers alike. These verses are telling us that God gave us the Holy Spirit. It's his connection to you.Think about it the Holy Spirit is like God's personal cellphone that given freely to ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we turn to the bible to talk about Legacy. What is a legacy? How do we leave behind a legacy? "The greatest legacy of all time is the story of Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible has been translated in 698 languages. His story has been told for thousands of years. He walked this planet over 2,000 years ago yet every single day someone new encounters him and his story in a new way. There are obviously other legacies, different families that have made good (and even bad) im...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to 1 Thessalonians 5:5 Together let's study what being a child of God and a child of light should look like. "We are all children of the light. We have it inside us. It was given to us by the Father, he lives inside us. If we are children of the light, and we do not have darkness is us, why is it so easy to feed our flesh? We all perceive ourselves to be good people. But sometimes it's ego driven, we want to look good, feel good. But "doing good to look go...

Join Kristen Graessler and myself, Alison Elizabeth as we go over a short and sweet devotional on trusting God in the trials and tribulations. "When we see dark clouds on the way our initial reaction is to fleet, but what if the next time we see a dark cloud we embrace it knowing the Jesus is on the way."

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we look to scripture for our Daily Affirmations. "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:7" This verse confirms how necessary it is for us to memorize scripture and how we should be repeating it daily.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. "These few verses are absolutely beautiful. My absolute favorite is Verse 4: a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; Today I am laughing and dancing. I am learning how to celebrate my accomplishments. Something that was so very hard for me to do in the past. Today is a big day for me because I get to celebrate 50 episodes, 50+ hours spent reading and writing what the word of God means to me. 50 times t...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Psalm 37:4 together. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. "This is so simple right? Then why do we all claim to love Jesus (me included) yet yearn for more. If we claim to love Jesus we must be taking delight in him, therefore why do our hearts still desire for things we may not have? It just got me thinking. Do we desire the Lord, so that we can take delight in the things we want most? Great health, new home, fun season...

With Stephanie Cepero and Alison Elizabeth, join us as we read Matthew 9:20-22. Stephanie has brought us a devotional that will bless us all. Our testimonies can spark a chain reaction of faith. "We may not all be meant to write a book, or take a mic on a platform, or lead worship, but we were all made to share the good news. And from this story, I gather God loves when we share the testimony of his hand in our lives. I say all of this to say, I once heard it said so well by the incredible Past...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we look to Psalm 73:26 for guidance on what to do when we fail. "In any season of life, there were... So many times I told myself I was going to journal everyday, and I didn't. So many times I told myself I am going to pray and I didn't. Most of these so many times end in my heart ache. Wishing I was further along, stronger with myself, closer to God, etc. You name it. Our flesh fails us. Our habits fail us. Our systems fail us. But this verse says... But when we ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we are encouraged to spread the love of Jesus. I hope our testimonies change the hearts of those around us. "I hope we get to tell the whole world just how loved they are. This verse says we are to tell the whole creation. Yeah that means every single person on this planet. They are loved, they are treasured! May we become like a virus. A virus of love. May our testimonies cause a chain reaction in the hearts of the people around us. May our love penetrate every ce...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read out of John 15:11 and look to Jesus to fill the joy we all seek. We look to the word of God for answers and a response to all that happens around us. "There are answers to all of our questions. I know the news is overwhelming, I know everyday it's something new. I know this year has been tough and sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh. But we have a response to every tear, every question, and everything going on around us. We just need to crack open the book a...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to scripture and see what God says when we ask for help. Spoiler alert - he promises to heal us. "I have never personally felt the pain of addiction, I have never felt the pain of losing a child, I have never felt the pain of being unable to conceive. There are valley's I have walked that you have never been through yourself either. We all have different pains and different needs for help. But our God is infinite. He is so large and yet also so personal. H...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we discover what the bible has to say about meditation. Together we are going to be reading out of Psalm 119:15 "You shower daily, (maybe some of you shower every other day, or maybe some of you even shower twice a day. It's up to debate in some cultures) but no matter the length in between your showers, you do shower often. We shower to clean our bodies of the filth we've come into contact with since our last shower. Sometimes we don't work out in this time but a s...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to Deuteronomy 7:21 for some hope today. We cling onto the goodness of our God. The world may seem like nothing is getting better, but our God is a good good father. "The enemy will use people to do his dirty work for him. But we have to hold on to the goodness of our God. He is fighting our battles with us. Let's declare this verse together: the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God." Support the show Join The Community: @mymorningdev...
