Bernard: the reason for loving God
Meditation:
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”—Psalm 16:2 (NIV)
Quotation:
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable. When one asks, Why should I love God? he may mean, What is lovely in God? or What shall I gain by loving God? In either case, the same sufficient cause of love exists, namely, God Himself.... Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), On Loving God, CCEL, ch. 3, p. 3
