One thing that might be good advice is that you pay strict attention to the definition of love and it's application. For instance if you look a little closer you will find that love of God is used in a moral sense(love thy neighbour) and in an intimate sense(he loves his own).
Yet both these applications can be and is used, in both a moral and intimate sense when it comes to his and our love to him. :)
EG: Few examples
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
1Co 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
