Embrace the Transformative Power of Divine Affection
BISHOP JOE KAMANDA
Experiencing the love of God is more than an emotional moment; it is a transformative encounter that reshapes our understanding of love and redefines our relationships and purpose. God’s love is unconditional, relentless, and all-consuming, offering healing, restoration, and new beginnings to all who embrace it. This divine love reaches us in the depths of our despair and lifts us to new heights of joy and fulfillment.
​
As we navigate the complexities and challenges of life, the love of God serves as an anchor and a beacon, guiding us through the tumult and offering peace amid chaos. Encountering this love is not a passive experience; it requires a deliberate posture of openness and a willingness to be changed from the inside out. It's about letting go of our preconceptions and immersing ourselves in the true essence of divine love.​​​
