Hello, my name is Sochill Dixon.

I share how two strangers demonstrated the power of kindness in today's encouragement from

our daily bread, loving like Jesus.

While waiting for a train at a station in Atlanta, Georgia, a young man wearing dress pants

and a button-down shirt sat on a bench.

As he struggled with his tie, an older woman encouraged her husband to help.

When the elderly man hunched over and began teaching the young man how to

knot the tie, a stranger took a photo of the trio. When this photo went viral online, many viewers

left comments about the power of random acts of kindness. For believers in Jesus, kindness to others reflects the self-sacrificing care that he showed for people like us.

It's an expression of God's love and what he desired his disciples to live out, we should love one another.

John equates hating a brother or sister to murder.

Then he turns to Christ as an example of love and action.

It doesn't have to be an extravagant display of sacrifice.

Selfless love simply requires us to acknowledge the value of all God's image bearers

by placing their needs above our own every day.

Those seemingly ordinary moments when we care enough to notice the needs of others and do what we

can to help are selfless when we're motivated by love. When we see beyond our personal space,

step out of our comfort zones to serve others and give,

especially when we don't have to give.

We're loving like Jesus.

Today's our daily bread devotional scripture reading is from 1 John chapter 3 verses 11 to 18.

For this is the message you heard from the beginning. We should love one another. Do not be like
