THE LOVE WALK WAY
by
Kent Clifford Cooley
(Romans 8:36-37; Luke 6:27-38)
When we chose the love walk way described by Jesus in Luke 6:27-38, humility may feel a lot like humiliation. However our Commander and Chief gave us these instructions:
· Love your enemies
· Treat well, do good to, act nobly toward those who detest you and pursue you with hatred
· Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you
· Implore God’s blessings, favor upon those who abuse you, who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you.
· To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer to him the other jaw or cheek also
· From him who takes your garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well.
· Give away to everyone who begs of you, who is in want of necessities.
· Of him who takes away your goods, do not demand or require them back again.
· Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Father, I thank you for instruction. I adapt Your way of thinking and doing as my way of thinking and doing. When I am wronged I will not return evil for evil. But instead I overcome evil with good.

MORE THAN CONQUERS
(Romans 8:36-37; Luke 6:27-38)
Verse
Consider Him who endured such controversy of sinner against Himself
Lest you be weary lest you be faint, keep this in mind
Chorus
We look like sheep led to the slaughter
But no we are more than conquers through Him who loved us
And looked like a sheep led to the slaughter
Yet He spoiled principalities,
Made a show of them openly
Triumphing over them in it
Through Him we are more than conquers.
Bridge
Deny yourself take up your cross and follow me
Deny yourself and you will be one of My disciples
Ending
Through Love we are more than conquers
