DiffVue (30-day trial) or Beyond Compare (free trial) will do that.
EDIT: I forgot, use Notepad++ and add the 'compare' plugin as @lx07 advises in post #4.
Hope this helps...

I use Notepad++ compare plug in. Open both files and it will automatically highlight added/changed or removed lines.
It is free: Notepad++ v7.5.6 - Current Version
I was just going to suggest that myself, however when I looked at my notepad++ the plugin wasn't there anymore.
The plugin loader seems to have gone in latest build.
You can download the compare plugin here Release v2.0.0 pnedev/compare-plugin· GitHub
Then copy contents to "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins" depending if you installed 64 or 32 bit version of Notepad++.
Works fine.
Another option.
Sublime Text - A sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose
Diff PluginGitHub - colinta/SublimeFileDiffs: Show diffs between the current file, or selection(s) in the current file, and clipboard, another file, or unsaved changes.

Drop plugin here:

Open second file with same file name but differences in text:
