This is how we are to love God:
"I do not want wealth, nor [friends, nor beauty], nor possessions, nor learning, nor even salvation. If it be Thy will, send me a thousand deaths. Grant me, this -- that I may love Thee and that for love's sake.
That love which materialistic persons have for their worldly possessions, may that strong love come into my heart, but only for the Beautiful. Praise to God!
Praise to God the Lover!"
God is nothing else than that.
