Hiding it in My Heart

As a Christian I want God to use me.
I want my life to be fruitful and to be able to love my family & friends.
I want my life to reflect God's love...His truth, His grace & His mercy.
I have learned recently that if I am not reading God's Word, the bible, regularly, how can I expect to live a fruitful life?
How can I help my children and love my husband if God's Word is not in me?
Psalm 119:11 says "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
So I have decided to be more diligent in memorizing scripture.
Pslam 63 came to mind...so here it goes...the first part anyway:
"Oh God you are my God, earnestly I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you;
in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary, and beheld your power and your glory;
because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
With singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night."

TO BE CONTINUED...
