Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage. Meister Eckhart
About This Quote

People who truly love God do not love Him for what He can give them. Rather, they love Him because God gives Himself to them in the person of the Savior.
