Loving Strangers

About this episode

As we near the end of our week on loving people, today we shift to loving those we don’t know. We are all so busy, and most often unaware of those around us, becoming too focused on ourselves to notice others. Perhaps today God would shift our focus upward to see the faces we pass on the streets or on the elevator. How much could a kind word or smile help someone out having a rough day? Let’s try to take our eyes off ourselves and see those we pass every day and don’t seem to notice. Could God want to use you to minister to someone you don’t even know? Let’s find out.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 13:2, and today's worship is Love God Love People by (ft. Michael W. Smith) - Danny Gokey (Lyrics).
