Sorry; This question is being repeated as it was put earlier in a wrong category and many members were kind enough to point out it to me. I am now taking corrective action.
You love God only when you love His creations, particularly those who are in distress and you believe in true brotherhood between people irrespective of men-carved divisions.
You fear God when you suppress your thoughts on the assumption that it will displease Him and attribute to him as harbouring all evil qualities we find among us like envy, revenge, avarice and all other mean qualities one can think of.
You neither love nor fear God when you fail in your assigned duties - mostly humane.
Kindly express moderation and dignity while replying as some in earlier instances were found melting in self-generated heat caused by their anger.

I love Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ with all my heart, soul and mind. I express my love for them by following what they commanded me to do at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. also by going to meetings at the Kingdom Hall to listen to what they have to tell me and my family at the five meetings a week. Yes I fear God but it is a happy fear of displeasing him because being imperfect I may do something to upset Jehovah and Jesus Christ. that is why when I pray to Jehovah threw Jesus Christ his son, I always always ask for forgiveness of my sins.

I fear (as reverance) God: Ps 111:10 (NEB) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and they who live by it grow in understanding. It helps keep me on the right path: Prov 14:26-27 (NIV) He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death. It comes from love: Prov 3:11-12 (NEB) My son, do not spurn the Lord's correction, or take offense at his reproof; for those who he loves the Lord reproves, and he punishes a favorite son. He means it: Ps 19:9 (NIV) The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. and he means it for EVERYONE: 2Pe2, 3-For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them and example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of those lawless men (For that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)– if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.17 Those are some of the reasons I love and fear the Lord.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, Ps.111:10. It's an awesome, reverence fear. But if you don't believe that Jesus
Christ is the One True God, you better start fearing for your
life. An eternal life in hades isn't fun. Think of this you God-Haters out there. ETERNITY......and all He asks of you is
to believe His Identity. That's it, but you're too arrogant for that!
God speaks to you who don't believe, in Ps. 14:1, the FOOL
says in his heart there is no God. I'm not calling you a FOOL,
God is!

I love God with my whole heart and my life. And because of this love I love all of God's creation and His children and that means everyone!!! I do enjoy a true sisterhood with numerous 'brothers and sisters' within other -as you say- men carved divisions. One of the most fulfilling ministries in my life is an ecumenical prison ministry where different denominations come together for a greater good. And we do it because we understand that God loves ALL of His children no matter what their past and He wants each of them to find their way home.
I do not need to suppress thoughts out of fear- God knows my thoughts and He loves me anyways.
I fail God and myself daily but with His loving help I am able to get back up and start fresh knowing that each day I grow a little more in my walk with Him.

No proof of deities. Actually, all evidence points to religion first evolving as polytheistic. Regardless, I don't love any God or Gods. And as a student of religion, I will go ahead and say, assuming you are Christian, which the arrogance of this question leads me to believe, that the Abrahamic God is one of the most twisted creations ever to come out of the human mind.

If there was a god out there who created all, is the master and lord of the universe, why would he need you to be in fear of him. Would your cringing and cowering make him feel better about himself? That makes no sense to me
