General sources
Context: To love Me for what I may give you is not loving Me at all. To sacrifice anything in My cause to gain something for yourself is like a blind man sacrificing his eyes for sight. I am the Divine Beloved worthy of being loved because I am Love. He who loves Me because of this will be blessed with unlimited sight and will see Me as I am.
“I desire the love of God not because I am worthy, but because I am unworthy.”
Walter Hilton (1340–1396) English Augustinian mystic.
