Spending time with God

I wrote a letter to God and I plan on writing even more.  That is my musing for today.  I plan, rather, as a Christian realize the vitality of being close to the Lord.  Getting close to the Lord is of utmost importance to me.  I admit that I don't spend enough time with God and I have prayed to get closer to God, but I realize that I have made little effort to spend time with Him.  Prayer is very important to the life of a believer, but so is spending time with the Creator.  He wants a relationship with the believer, not lip service.  I believe that there is too much lip service in the church and not enough truth, but that is not what I am here to write about.
