Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.

Love me, love my dog.

We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.

The reason for our loving God is God.
