I fell in love with Jesus by Suzan Satchell

I fell in love with Jesus

Jesus, I am so happy I fell in love with you.
I never regret the day I did, and I still have not had any to date.
All I know is that I keep falling in love with you over and over again.
You make my life complete.
Thank you for loving me unconditionally throughout the years.
Yesterday I chose you
Today I chose you, and tomorrow I will still choose you.
Always and forever, it's Jesus and me.
No greater love exists than Jesus' love.
I fell in love with Jesus when I was just a tiny tot as I watched my grandmother pray.
She taught me how to pray and trust someone who cared.
I fell in love with Jesus because He first loved me.
My grandmother was my real-life example of what a trusting relationship should be.
Mother, as we called her, would call us to prayer with her favorite friend.
I chose Jesus then and there to be my favorite too.
I knew He would love me because I could see it on my grandmother's face.
Her face was always smiling, her lips were always singing, and prayer was her thing.
It was so nice to have a grandmother who tried to live how Jesus lived.
I would never be who I am today if it were not for my grandmother's faith.
Because of her love for Jesus, I was able to fall in love with Him.
Yes, I fell in love with Jesus, and I would do it over and over again.
You passed away when I was only five, but I am still with Jesus, who is my favorite best friend.
Someday I will see you in glory, where Jesus will be our King, because I am living the way you did with Jesus as my best friend.


(In honor of my grandmother, affectionately called "Mother,” Mae McFarlane.)

Dear Suzan, your poem is a heartfelt testament to the enduring love and faith that has shaped your life. The way you intertwine personal experiences with spiritual devotion creates a poignant narrative of love and gratitude. I love how your words illuminate the profound impact of your grandmother's faith and serve as a beautiful tribute to her memory. Suzan, this is a touching reflection on your journey of love and devotion to Jesus. Blessings, Daniel
