This I pray

That you Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for others (including those who you feel bullied by) welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called by God, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God–that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection]. 

For let him/her (Josh and Mikayla) who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good–whether you see it or not] keep their tongues free from evil and their lips from guile (treachery, deceit). Let them turn away from wickedness and shun it, and let them do right. Let them search for peace (harmony; undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts) and seek it eagerly. I pray that you 

Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue WHOLE HEARTEDLY,  AND go after them!] mt version of praying (1 Peter 3:9-11 AMP) for you Josh and Mikayla.

We have had a lot of fussing and fighting but we must press in to Jesus together and run after HIS PEACE . Don't let go! Don't  give up! Chase the Peace that passes ALL UNDERSTANDING with everything you have! It will be worth it to have REAL LOVE! We are always family, with and without our extra junk. But if we will pray and ask the Lord to show us those places in us that are hurting and causing us to hurt other people, He will. There are many times when I have hurt other people unknowingly (sometimes even knowing it) and it is EXTREMELY painful when I realize it and repent, BUT GOD takes me up tenderly and reminds me that I am His baby girl and that He will take care of me. I pray that y'all have an  amazing experience with repentance (no matter how painful) and that your hearts be healed from any trauma that might have been caused by any harshness that you have experienced in this world. This world can be cruel. We get tossed around and then if we are not   surrendered to Jesus in us, we hurt others because we are hurting. For those times I have not been the hands and feet of Jesus to you my precious beautiful children I AM TRULY SORRY!! I never want you to confuse Jesus with my nasty flesh mindedness. I cry to Jesus for the healing balm if Gilead for your souls. I love you and I am thankful for you!!! May the Lord bless you and keep you always!!
