1. What is John 13:35 All About?
It is about encouraging people to think of other people and showing love through
a Random Act of Kindness in unexpected ways! Acts that are completely random, in
places and situations that are least expected. It is also a way for others to share
what people have done and to allow them to share the joy together!
2. How Does This Work?
There are cards called, Act of Kindness Cards that are floating around. When
someone has it, they need to not keep it but perform a Random Act of Kindness for
someone. For example, you are driving through the Starbucks window and decide to
pay for the person who just ordered for the person behind you, while you are
paying for the coffee, give the teller the Random Act of Kindness card and instruct
him/her to give the card to the person who you paid for. Later on that day log on
to John1335.org and check the card ID and see how that person felt about the Act
of Kindess. It is still anonymous but you get to participate and observe how your
Random Act of Kindness affected them. You never know how something so simple can
touch someone's life. The process will continue with that person and you will see
your Act of Kindness grow from one person to the next...the goal is to keep it growing.
3. Why John 13:35?
Many times people will ask, "why do you want to do that for that person?" The simple
answer is found in the Bible. In John 13:35, Jesus makes a simple remark, "By this
all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Love transcends
race, religion, beliefs---it is the only thing that lasts for eternity. It is our
hope and joy that you will be a receiver of a Random Act of Kindness and from that
simple gift do the same thing for someone else. We all should love one
another.
