"The motive for loving God is God Himself.
For He is both the efficient cause as well as the final object...
He gives the occasion for love, He creates the affection.
He brings the desire...
Our present love would be vain did we not hope to love Him perfectly some day.
Our love is prepared and rewarded by His..."
[as quoted in To Live Is Christ, p. 98]
How can this inspire you to greater love today?
