A way to solve negotiation
stumblingblocks:.Psalms
119:165 "Great peace have they which love your law.(what
law? Is it the ten commandments?
Nope. The ten commandments are mostly "shall not, do not" instructions.
That's ok. It is good to avoid certain things. However the New Testament
goes far beyond this, instructing us to go to great lengths to love
one another. In this the law truly is fulfilled:.John
13:35; Romans 13:10; Matthew
5:23-25).and
nothing shall offend them."
Having the very best interests
of our opponents at heart (Matthew
5:44-46) and knowing their values an opponent holds are right steps
towards parties coming out of negotiations successful. But you must realize
things about the unseen world behind the scenes. What good is winning an
argument if you lose involvement with another. One is never 'right' if
another has real or imagined reasons for dislike. One is never right if
he has turned the tide further away from friendship for no other justification
than the winning of an argument. With this in mind, one looks for what
can be agreed upon and avoids that which can separate and take everyone
involved further from harmony. A discussion is the exchange of ideas. An
argument is the expressing of ignorance.
The strong one is always
the one who has the most (in all ways) to give, and fears losing nothing.
He is the one that makes it all happen, that controls the leverage. He
is the one who has engaged in forethought and set his intention on how
he wishes to see the negotiations go. He is the one who can see the harmony,
the selfishnesses, the greed, because he is above all these things, and
knows that harmony just cannot exist with inharmony. He is the one who
can lead the way if those others have minds that are open, and if not,
or won't open to higher standards, then the deal should never take place.
Decide to find some niche,
some way (Psalms 122:9) to reach
the other. When aligned with the Great Infinite Intelligence (Luke
6:35,36), one has the guidance necessary to see the end result quickly,
as new things come to mind when needed.
But what if another gloats
over your clumsy expressions of love which
may give him an advantage?.Matthew
5:38-42.
Asking God for wisdom in
the relationship (1Kings 5:12;
James
1:5) would also be a very good thing to do.
Perhaps use the words 'wise'
and 'wisdom' to search for references regarding this subject. When you
have a motivation of love behind you, inspiring you, guiding you and backing
you up, what have you to
fear? again,
1John
4:18; 2Timothy 1:7.
The
key
to a loyal mate and the key to building love in a relationship.
A Poem From A Six Year Old
Girl In Tennessee
(as told by her grandmother
– name unknown)
"God is a Spirit and He needs
bodies. He lives in my
mommy and daddy. When I'm
loving them, I'm loving God.
God needs
bodies. Some have lights in them and know
Him, but some do not know
Him, but He loves them anyway.
God lives
in everybody, but they don't know it and they
don't have any lights inside.
When they find out God loves them,
their lights will go on."
