Well good morning everyone and welcome back to the messy masterpiece podcast or

chat and Tory happy Friday Friday in the house what a week it has been and

honestly and it sounds cliche but praise God that we get another week.

Mm-hmm for sure it was a good week.

It was a good week.

You ready for a good devotional?

I'm ready for a great one.

Are you guys ready?

Today. I just imagine everyone like, yes.

They're like, you can't hear me respond.

Anyways, we do hope that y'all are excited.

Today we're reading out of Mark 9, verse 41,

and it's titled, Living Beyond Ourselves.

It says, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah

I tell you the truth that person will surely be rewarded. The love letter from God says,

beloved child, I know you have a desire in your heart to do something

great to change the world. I placed it there. You're not called to live a life of mediocrity. I want you to

thrive as you live out my purposes. I see even the littlest things that you do that point to me, and I will reward you in extraordinary ways.

Don't be afraid to step out in faith and meet a need.

You will find that the more you refresh others, the more

refreshed you will feel because you are doing the will of your father. Come to me

every morning and ask me to open your heart to my plan for the day.
