I'm so glad you can join me for today's edition of our Daily Bread.

I'm Sochiel Dixon.

In today's devotion, Waiting and Hope, I get to share how God used Roelio to give me a deeper perspective on loving with a servant's heart.

Roelio served as our waiter during our week-long vacation.

In one conversation, he credited Jesus for blessing him with Callie, a compassionate wife

with strong faith. After they had their first baby, God gave them an opportunity to help

care for their niece who had Down syndrome.

Soon after, Roelho's mother-in-law needed live in care.

Rogelio works with joy, often taking on double shifts to ensure his wife can stay home to care

for the people God entrusted to them.

When I shared how the couple inspired me to love better because of the way they opened their

hearts and home to serve their family members, he said, it is my pleasure to serve them and you.

Roelhoelio's life affirms the power of living with generosity and trusting God to provide

as we serve one another selflessly.

In Romans 12, the Apostle Paul urged God's people to be devoted to one another in love,

joyful in hope, patient and affliction, and faithful in prayer as we share with the Lord's people who are in need and practice hospitality.

Our life can change in an instant, leaving us or those we love in circumstances that feel impossible to bear.

But when we're willing to share all God has given us while we wait on him, we can cling

to his enduring love together.

Today's our daily bread devotional scripture reading is from Romans chapter 12 verses 9 to 13.

Love must be sincere.

Hate what is evil, cling to what is good, be devoted to one another in love.
