True Love

Love cannot be purchased,
it cannot be sold.
Its worth is beyond silver or gold,
Promising forever, a treasure so true,
A heart that is steadfast, a love made for you.

We long to be wanted, to be truly known,
To have a heart we can call our own.
But false hearts deceive, their aim is untrue,
They take what they can, then vanish from view.

The love of Christ sets every soul free.
Open to Him—no payment, no fee.
Just an open heart is all He requires,
To fill you with love and holy desires.

1Jn 4:19  We love him, because he first loved us. 

— Mark C. Waldrop
