God's love comes down to us freely and richly. Our love ascends to him in duty and gratitude. God adds to us by his love. We add nothing to him by our love. Though our love is fixed directly on the Father, yet no actual fruit of our love reaches him direct from us, but only through Christ. Though the Father requires our love, he is not benefited by it.
John Owen, Communion With God, P.22
