THE CROSS OF COMPASSION

A small wooden cross I gave a stranger

is how I started to write my spiritual writings.

Because of this gift, I was given a grace from above

of overwhelming compassion;

It turned my heart upside down and changed me forever.

What you have been reading in my writings,

is this consumption of grace and gift given to me from above,

which enables me to write this flow of words

with the fragrant compassion,

which floats within my heart and soul.

The words are there - in print --

to expose the interior of my inner dwelling.

What you read is what I am,

what I feel,

what I believe in.

I'm very humble ,

but the need

of the mission I have been given ,

is to share these writings with others

that they may also have a touch of grace.

Thus I pass this gift on to all who seek

the doorway of the Lord and knock.

Take Jesus down from the Cross

and embrace His tears and sorrow

for He has given His life for you.

Hold Him in your arms and let

His compassion and His grace wash over you.

In this way, you'll begin to understand

the gift of the Cross is the gift of Himself.

Love Him, as He loved you.

About the Author

Robert J Varrick

Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.

The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.

My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord

saying:

“Whom shall I send? Who will be my

messenger?”

I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
