Negotiate for Peace

     Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18) Although you may be right, restoration & reconciliation is not one-sided. By this time in spelling out happiness, you should have already dealt with you problem and ready to help the other person or persons face the offense. A futile attempt at negotiation is to say if you change then I will work on my problem. NOT! If you intended on working on your problem then it wouldn't reach this point. The focus of negotiation is to challenge and help the other person to face the issue.  If in the negotiation you are faced with a personal change or sacrifice then you must decide if that is worthy of seeing the change take place. I have never met but one man that had done enough to see another person delivered and that person gave his life that you could be saved from your offenses. Remember that a life is worth a sacrifice.
