He loves you.

Rick and Anna Clissold share a simple desire: that every person would come to know that before creation you were on His mind.

From the blog

Unlike eros, which is the fear-driven logic of reward and punishment that has shaped religion since the Fall, grace reveals the true heart of the Trinity.

He knitted you together in your mother’s womb, watches over you as you sleep, and is with you through the day. You are His child, you are never alone. He is in perfect union with you.

He knows your thoughts, your dreams, your hurts, and your pain. He understands your confusion, in your darkest hours He sits with you, longing to embrace and comfort you. He delights in you, sings and dances over you, and desires that you see Him as He truly is: Lovingkindness.

He came to heal and restore you to your true identity. Whatever you are searching for, whatever solutions fail you, perhaps He not only holds the answers, but is Himself the answer.

Amidst all the confusion of religion, the message remains simple: He loves you.

Loving Kindness and the Child

A raw and beautiful journey from darkness to divine love.

What happens when a man who believes he is broken beyond repair discovers that God is relentless in His love for him?

From his early years in Australia’s Charismatic Renewal, through a decades-long struggle with alcohol and self-destruction, Rick tells the honest story of hearing God say “You are My problem” — and learning what it means to be loved without condition. Transformation, he found, comes not from trying harder but from seeing clearer.

Inside you’ll find

  • How God’s love reaches us in our darkest moments
  • The difference between religion and relationship
  • Living as the beloved child rather than the performing adult
  • How grace works in the mess of real life
  • A God who sits with us in our struggles

Part memoir, part spiritual reflection — for anyone wrestling with shame, or who has ever felt too far gone to come home.

“If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: Loving Kindness is better than we think — always.”Rick Clissold
