scripture memory

I love memorizing Scripture. It is so helpful during times of struggle to recall Truth from the Bible, God's Word to us. It is comforting to dwell on the things above while we carry on with life on earth. If you think about it, Scripture is God's way of communicating with us. How amazing is that!
My problem is that I forget to take the time to absorb Scripture. I am quick in reading, interpreting, and applying... but I fail to truly allow the Truth to penetrate my thoughts. I would really like to improve in this area.

As of yesterday, I began dwelling on this verse:
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Hopefully I can grow in the richness of Christ through memorizing Scripture, and I invite you to share in this with me.
