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.)

Thank you! My grandmother passed away when I was five, but I owe who I am to her. She was a woman of practical faith and love.
