To: The Members
of the APWU
The Children of God who are called to God through Jesus Christ
I pray
that God is finding you in good health. I wanted to share a few things with you to let you know that God loves and cares for you.
I also want to say that I know it's hard to keep your head above water in these times because there are so many
people around us that are always trying to bring us down because misery loves company.
We have to be careful with the people that are around us, even those that claim that
they are in the faith. You'll know them by their spirit. People try to bring us down and try to start trouble with us with
arguments and _'you did this", "you did that", or said something that may have offended them. I want to let you know this
because I am getting many reports of Postal employees arguing and almost physically getting into fights.
So please
be careful about the things that we might say and do because people really are sensitive even to the smallest things. I want
to say to you don't be afraid to approach God in prayer because he is waiting for you to come and give God a chance to stand
in the gap for you. A lot of times people say, "I don't have this or that"," we have not, because we ask not. So many people
are doing wrong they're afraid to approach God. But God loves us all and gave His only Son for us all. And by applying
the blood, we are able to approach God's thrown. He is-there waiting for you to knock on the door. He wants to open it so
badly for you, if you would just take from 2-5 minutes out of your time just to speak to Him. I know that you will hear this
voice saying you are not worthy. But who really is? God is willing'10 accept us the way we are. There are times in our lives
when we will fall but we have to remember that when we stand up repent for our sins and ask God to forgive us and stay focused
and keep walking and seeking him, ask Him for help and guidance and ask Him for peace of mind.
Thank you and I pray God will be with you always,
Johnny Perez
