God is wanting to convince you that He is love, not just loving, but He is love, so what kind of Father do you think this makes Him? It makes Him like the Father in the parable of the prodigal son, He will heap on you a feast and cut the fattened calf for you. If you gaze upon your performance you will fear, but that's not what God wants you to do, He wants you to abide in His love.

1 John 4:8 - Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
