Hello, John and
Doves,
When negotiating,
always aim to reach a consensus:
"Under a strategy set by
Obama and Reid, Democrats said they would not negotiate with Republicans in
exchange for performing what the White House called basic functions of keeping
the government in operation and preventing Treasury from defaulting on its
obligations."
It
is written,
6 “Seek
the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the
wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man
his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on
him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon.
Isaiah
55:6-7 ESV
Again, it is written,
18And all of this
is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has
given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19For God was in
Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins
against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
20So we
are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for
Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our
sin, so that we could be made right with God through
Christ.
~Blessings,
Mike
